Description of the problem | I bought a 2016 ford mustang in april 2016 its a great car. I had an accident and the air bags got deployed luckily nothing happened to me. The vehicle was repaired at russell and smith collision center in houston,tx for 51 days at a cost of 18000$ (car cost 34000$). On the 26th of march 2017 a guy skipped a red signal and came into the middle of an intersection so i had to crash into him at a speed of 50 mph. This time no airbags got deployed . Its only by gods grace that i am not harmed. I tried complaining to people at ford but all i am getting is a run around from their customer care representatives. All i want to know why my driver airbag did not deploy even at that speed. |
