While stopped at red light, our ford windstar was rear-ended by a ford focus estimated to be going 50-60mph. both of us in the front seats suffered severe calf muscle injuries. we believe these were caused by the manual seat adjustment bar that runs the full width of the seat. we were both wearing seatbelts. an additional note: the driver's seatback broke on impact.*ak is there any history of leg trauma caused by seat hardware in rear-end collisions?

Drivers side under seat airbag impact sensor was not mounted firmly to floor. it was just dangling from the wiring harness, effectively disabling the airbags. dealer looked at seat pedestal and determined that the wrong seat mount was installed at the factory. dealer is installing the correct seat mount. i am not convinced that the passenger side airbag wiring has been done correctly either. *ak
