| On august 27th of 2009 i was driving my 2007 ford escape while correcting my children in the back seat i hit a wet spot in the road and lost control of my vehicle i rolled 2 times and stopped with a front end collision. the seat belt did not catch causing me to bash my face into the steering wheel at least two times. the air bags also did not work either. because of the faulty equipment it caused me to break my neck in 3 places and spending 2 weeks in the hospital having to have surgery with a metal rod and two screws....because of the defaulted equipment i still suffer from permanent nerve and muscle damage and chronic pain. | |||

| I was traveling north and this person was going south, crossed the centerline and slammed into me, pushing me between two trees and totaling my vehicle. it was a head on collision and my airbag did not deploy and my seat belt did not restrain me from slamming my forehead into the steering wheel. i contacted ford motor company and they told me they would do nothing and send no one to see why the air bag did not deploy. i ended up being brought by ambulance to the hospital where x-rays showed my neck was sprained and i had a scrape to my forehead from the steering wheel. *jb | |||

| My daughter weighs 90 lbs. when she sits in the front seat of our 2007 ford escape, the airbag turns on and off intermittently, depending on minor adjustments of her posture. the dealer has seen it and says that there is nothing they can do about it, as it is a federally regulated setting. so i guess we'll just never know if my daughter will have a functional air bag in the event of a crash. *jb | |||
