| Car was involved in collision and when brakes where applied all wheels locked up and was unable to steer doing about 40 mph but car is equipped with abs system - the brakes have been worked on twice in 2 years both by ford dealers. should this have happened with abs. also neither air bag deployed even though it was the front end that has suffered damage (don't know cost yet) front bumper, hood, head light, driver side front quarter panel and driver door are all damaged. not only did the air bags not deploy, but after accident the air bag light on dash flashed on and off repeatedly, and along with this the shoulder harnesses on seats did tighten, but not enough to hold people back to where one passenger in the back hit their face on the back of the front seat. luckily there were not injuries. *ak | |||
