On 01/18/2019 I took vehicle I purchased, to mock Ford in grant's pass Oregon for takara airbag recall. This is when I became aware of safety issue that vehicles aur bags had been cut out and removed. The service guy at mock Ford explainedand gave estimate which was greater than what cars value was. The seller of car aaron ronson never disclosed any issues. Only that he bought from a friend that buys and fixes cars. His friend worked at a wrecking yard. My safety concern as well as insurance coverage is have been B.ceffected. My complaint is no found records of vehicleaccident. And no branding of title it is clear. No evidence of airbad deployment. I have been refused copies if previous owner to investigated knowledge prior to my purcgase.

I hit a deer at 45 miles an hour then hit the hit totalling the car, the airbag did not come out, the seat belt did not lock causing me to be slammed into the steeling wheel, now I suffer great pain, can't move my neck, can't lay down bc of such bad headache I throw up, I sleep sitting up, something in the car like metal fragment hit me in the left eye, now I can barely see out of my left eye. And must continue medical treatment. And someone is going to pay for my medical treatment and pain and suffering, bc that seat belt not locking caused my injuries, my insurance company totalled my car out bc of the severe damage to it.
