Mustang

  • miles
On February 24, 2013, I was involved in a "fender bender" in my brand new 2013 Ford Mustang where I was traveling approximately 15 mph. Although the collision was minor, and the damage to the front end was minimal, the airbags deployed. The driver's side front and side panel airbags both deployed. The front air bag severely burned me when it exploded out upon impact. I have photographs of the burns that I have suffered as the result of the air bag deployment, as well as the damage to the car. Based upon the severity of the burns that I have suffered it is apparent that the airbag is defective. After the collision, I was transported to the emergency room, and while being treated the doctor indicated that my burns were chemically induced, and were not abrasion type burns from contact with the airbag. I am very concerned that others may suffer the same type of injuries.
