2012 Ford Escape Air bags Problems

“This document is in response to a frontal vehicle collision occurring may 16, 2014 on a major highway. At my request I requested the auto body repair shop to check the occupant restraint system. It was determined that the restraint system control module was initiative and probably has been since the car was built. Perhaps an investigation of the same, make, model, and year Ford SUV be considered. All supporting documentation is immediately available.”

“My son was in an accident. Front end of vehicle. The air bag never went off. But the seatbelt locked. The auto repair shop was dumbfounded at why it didn't go off. So am I.the seatbelt and airbag lights were on on the dash after they fixed it. That's how we found that the seatbelt locked. I couldn't get it around me to go home. They then replaced the computer.

I have notified Ford about this issue and they are investigating which I'm sure will lead to absolutely nothing. …”

“My vehicle was driving east on wildcat, turning north on lang road in portland, tx. My daughter was driving and had a yellow blinking arrow. The car traveling west on wildcat had a yellow solid light. When my daughter went to turn the other car appeared to speed up and hit her front on at a about 35 MPH speed. The airbags did not deploy nor did the seatbelt lock in place. My daughter hit her head on the steering wheel and was taken to the er.
