I WAS HIT IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION BY ANOTHER CAR ON FEB. 28, 2013. THE CAR WAS TOTALED, BUT THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO FORD AND AFTER REQUESTING THAT I SEND THEM PICTURES OF THE CAR, THEY CONCLUDED THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MY INJURIES. I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES, AND CONVINCED MY DAUGHTER THAT IT WAS A GOOD DECISION TO PURCHASE A BRAND NEW FORD. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE FROM THE TIME SHE GOT IT. THE CD PLAYER BROKE WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY TOLD HER AT THE DEALERSHIP THE $750.00 CD PLAYER WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT SHE'D HAVE TO PAY $150. FOR THE LABOR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER RARELY LIT UP WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FINE. JUST LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER REPORTS I'VE HEARD, IT HAD STARTED MAKING STRANGE NOISES LONG BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, BUT WE WERE UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE CAUSE WAS. BEFORE THE CAR WAS 5 YEARS OLD, I HAD REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, SHOCKS, A/C COMPRESSOR, AND I CAN'T SAY HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. *TR
