Description of the problem | A driver turned directly in front of me while i went through an intersection at 40 mph. I car was hit head on, the entire front end and frame was destroyed. Not one of my airbags was deployed. I had just had left shoulder surgery and the only restraint was my lap and chest seat belt. I have had to go through surgery, multiple dental repairs, rehab. Ford told me that there had been no recall on the escape but the car was determined to be totaled and was gone quickly. I only hope that they recall these faulty airbags quickly before there are more deaths attributed to them. |
