At the beginning of November 2008, I was involved in
accident whereby my truck went through both sides of a ten
foot deep ditch and a pasture fence before the vehicle
came to a rest (after the front left wheel breaking right
at the ball-joint and tie-rod end). I was wearing my
seatbelt but managed to crack my face on the steering
wheel breaking my nose and leaving me with a concussion
for a week as a result of airbag non-deployment. The
accident was a result of avoiding a group of deer in a
heavily wooded area. Also the frame and cab are twisted
and the vehicle has been wrote off, the areas are not
suppose to do that according to Ford because of the new
hydra frame and cab design. I spoke with a dealer and he
mentioned there was a bulletin sent to him from Ford
regarding non-deployment. I have never been notified by
the dealer where I purchased it. Also this dealer told me
that the sensor is equipped to set-it-off at 60 kph, I was
doing about 65 and based on the impacts in my accident, it
should have went off. I also noticed some odd things with
the passenger airbag light when setting something under 10
lbs on the seat. Im thankful for my will to live as I
walked a half kilometer to get help in shock, bleeding and
with a concussion, I could have died that night.... ITS
TIME FOR ANSWERS AND I WANT ANSWERS NOW!
