Abs failed causing car to slide on slick surface, and airbags did not deploy in front end collision.
I was in an accident, driving approximately 25 mph when i hit the brakes with approximately 20 feet of distance, the anti lock brakes failed to engage causing the car to slide, and rear end the car in front of me, upon impact the airbags did not deploy.
At first the cmac would not start followed by all the electricity in the goes dead (horny lights radio now have everything). i was then driving at about 45 mph the car slowed down by itself while i was pressing the gas to about 5 mph and i could not go above that. the slowdown was immediate like the car downshifted in the lower gear. the dealer says they do not know what caused it but they saw the 12volt battery add a bad cell and so they believing that that's what could've caused all the problems.i contacted ford and they said to let the dealer handle it. my main concern is the car coming to almost a full stop in the mitts of high-speed especially with no prior warning or indications.
One month after the electronic steering module failed (as previously reported here) & had to be replaced, the rcm module failed. advanced traction control, and airbag lights were/are lit on dashboard. i drove without a functioning airbag for 10 days while best ford nashua tried to replace the module which is out of stock. yesterday 6/6/14 ford nashua provided a rental car until they can get the part. *tr
