| I was proceeding through an intersection to turn left. a car that was supposed to stop ran the red light and t-boned me directly in the driver's side. his airbag deployed (front). my 2006 ford fusion is equipped with front and side airbags. none of them deployed. i was transported to the hospital with fractured ribs and ultimately, needed pt to restore my neck and left arm rotator cuff to full use and back to normal position. progressive insurance insisted on repairing the car - total over $17,000 damage to vehicle. no one checked out airbag system and all assume it is working properly. i disagree. the door post where the sensors are located was smashed in, driver's door would not open, cut and rebuilt floor of car. *tr | |||

| I almost killed in a near fatal collision on january 15, 2007. i was in a 2006 ford fusion sel with front and side airbags. my car was demolished and but for the grace of god i survived despite my failed airbags. i informed ford as you can see they started to deploy and stick out a little. the photos prove they failed. ford is making it difficult to follow through and i have the car being held so it can be inspected. i am afraid they are defective and will result in the death of someone. i was flown by helicopter with severe head injuries and from the pictures, you can see the blood spot where my head cracked the side panel directly below where the airbag should have come out. the impact zones on the car are with out question worthy of making the airbag deploy. please contact me, as i am tired of trying to work with ford because of my concern for the lives of others, and all they want to do is be obstructive. *jb | |||
