This vehicle was purchased to be driven by my daughter as a entry level vehicle that was suppose to be a safe, efficient and durable means of transportation. from advertisements i expected a safe and inexpensive car. during a low speed accident the airbags deployed causing more damage to the vehicle than the actual accident itself. first the engine was disabled, the dash cracked, the windshield completely knocked outward and the airbag system needing complete replacement. after a lot of online research i have found that over many years sense 2000 and 2001,there are thousands of the same complaints with the same exact outcomes. these vehicles sales were guided toward younger drivers which where there are more likely low speed impact accidents. although there were safety issue at hand, the early deployment of the airbags at very low speed impact accidents has cost owners and insurance companies more in repairs due to the damages from the airbag deployment alone than necessary and have even caused total loss at owners and insurance companies expense. an investigation was opened early on after these issues were first developing and the investigation was closed quickly with the manufacture stating they set a ...
Driving on the freeway at approx 60 mph heard a very loud noise and all of sudden my 2007 ford focus came to a complete stop with the seatbelt becoming very tight against me and jerking me, within a few seconds the car was able to start again and it informed me that my airbags had been deployed. the dash dropped and the air vents cracked, my steering wheel has shifted. this has left marks on my neck, chest and pains throughout my neck and back. possible whiplash. car is going to dealership tomorrow, hopefully i will have some kind of explanation for what happened. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2009 ford focus. the contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the contact crashed into another vehicle. during the crash, the front passenger side air bag deployed but the front driver side did not. the contact sustained a fractured neck, back and rib. neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified. the failure mileage was unknown. the vin was unavailable.
I own a 2001 ford focus. i was in stop and go traffic on a road near my house when i accidentally bumped the person in front of me. both my passenger and my driver's side airbags deployed, smashing my windshield! the officer that reported to the scene said that there was no way i was going fast enough for them to deploy because i had been sitting in the traffic for a while and we were merely rolling. there was no damage to the front of my car or to the back of the other person's car so i feel that the airbags probably should not have gone off. is it possible that this is a defect?? *tr
2007 ford focus. consumer writes in regards to airbag malfunction and requests reimbursement from injuries. *smd the consumer stated the air bag deployed 30 minutes after rear ending another vehicle. the consumer sustained severe injuries.
Involved in an auto accident. vehicle pulled out into my path of travel and i was forced to hit their vehicle head on at 50 mph. after the initial impact i spun around and our vehicles hit again on the rear quarter panels. no air bags in my vehicle ever deployed. *tr
I was involved in an accident in which i was rear ended by a vehicle traveling 45 mph which in turn caused me to slam into the vehicle in front of me. as a result of the accident, the drivers seat i was sitting on was bent and moved back. the air bag device under the seat was detached and damaged as a result of the accident. the accident was severe enough it should have deployed when i hit the car in front of me. when i questioned the dealership they stated it is normal for this to happen to the seat and for airbags not to deploy. *tr
