I was driving down a major road when a deer ran out in front of me. i was going approximately 50 mph. i slammed on my brakes but hit the deer anyway. i was going approximately 40-45 mph when i hit the deer with the front of my car. the airbags did not deploy. the grill, bumper, and hood received major damage and needs replaced. i do not understand why the airbags did not deploy.
Purchased car 4/30/19 with 46,949 at 47,323 airbag light is on. returned to ford 6/11/19 with 47,489 miles and ford advises it is covered under the srs 5/60 warranty. after 3 days in the shop, ford said it was a seat pad sensor and they have to order the part. returned 6/26/19 to install a seat pad sensor which did not fix the issue. i was told they were contacting ford for assistance. it has been 26 days and no answers. i do not know if may srs works.
We were involved in a front end collision and the air bag sensors were damaged but no airbags deployed. everyone from witnesses to first responders were surprised they didn't go off. the vehicle was in motion and was totaled out from a front passenger side collision. we were driving straight and the accident occurred in town.
Takata recall not sure if our vehicle is on the problem list.
Takada recall i was involved in a car accident where a driver ran the red light and t boned my car with great force causing a three other cars to be hit and my airbags did not deploy .it was a beautiful saturday afternoon around 3:30pm in houston tx.
Electric throttle body failure and limp mode causes unsafe break downs: while driving on the highway at about 70 mph the highway my car very rapidly decelerated and several service lights turned on. i was able to pull off of the highway and ran a vehicle health report. the report indicated a failure to the restraint system (defined as airbags or seatbelt). this means that if the sudden deceleration without brake lights had caused a collision the airbags may have also malfunctioned. in addition to the safety system malfunction a powertrain malfunction, and tc, ivd, rsc event of fault was reported. i took the car to a dealership and they diagnosed the problem as a electric throttle body malfunction. they said it was a very common problem. it doesn't seem safe to have a car rapidly decelerate itself when a part fails especially if that causes the computer to reports a safety system malfunction as well.
