Having heard so much about the safety of airbags I was very surprised not to have either of the airbags in my truck deploy when I was involved in the traffic accident on 6/21/00. I was traveling between 40 and 45 mph when someone pulled out, from a stop sign, directly in front of me. I was unable to react, it happened so quickly. The other driver was sited by a police that witnessed the accident.
- East Falmouth, MA, USA
While driving up hwy 20 in town I had the front right tire/rim/brake assembly separate from the axle causing the vehicle to collide with a rock in the side of the hill. Hitting the rock had sent me back into the highway on the vehicles two left tires. Both airbags had deployed and when the vehicle came to a halt on all three tires I got out of the truck to find the right front tire/rim/brake assembly approximately 15 feet behind the vehicle. I now own a three wheeler that Ford or the dealership will not admit that there was some sort of a flaw or defect.
