2007 Ford Escape Air bags Problems

“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. …”

“Our father's vehicle struck a brick building at approximately 50 miles per hour(front / head on ) in 2007 Ford Escape. He suffered severe injuries (fractured neck, back, multiple rib fractures , and died as a result 2 weeks later. The airbags did not deploy on impact. What is our next step? We researched several other instances on this site, reports of airbags not working? Please advise on next step.”

“While driving home from work in heavy traffic, the drivers side air bag deployed, striking me in the face, breaking my eye glasses and completely obstructing my vision with the inflated air bag. I slowed some by gauging my speed by the cars next to me (4 lanes of traffic, 2 each direction). I kept pushing on the air bag with one hand, trying to deflate it quicker, so that I would be able to see in front of me. When I finally got the air bag deflated enough to see out the windshield, I was able to get over into the right hand lane and pull aside. …”

“Sinc e purchasing the vehicle air bag light went on and off, and there was a smell of gas throughout the vehicle. Taken to Ford delership in march, 2007, but dealership did not find the cause of the problem.”

“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.”
