2012 Ford Focus Airbags Problems

My car was sitting ,in the driveway of my,home it was t-boned after which it spun around 90 degrees,it was damaged severely.The air bags did not deploy,I think they should've deployed. The car went to the shop and it has not been properly repaired,the body is structurally distorted ,and some of the mechanisms related to suspension and the trailing axle aren't properly installed or repaired.

Was in frontal/near frontal collision at 20-25mph. No airbags deployed.

MY TWO SONS WERE TURNING LEFT WHEN THEY WERE T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY SONS VEHICLE WAS STRUCK IN THE RIGHT REAR. THE SIDE AIR BAGS WENT OFF BUT NOT THE TWO FRONTS. ALSO THEIR SEAT BELTS DID NOT TIGHTEN. BC OF THIS BOTH SONS SUFFERED TBI'S, ONE VERY SEVERE AND IS STILL RECOVERING. THE OTHER REQUIRED BRAIN SURGERY. I AM SO UPSET THAT THEIR SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN. I BOUGHT A NEWER FORD THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BE SAFE. PLEASE SOMEONE FIX THIS DEFECT. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS COULD EVER HAPPEN. THEY WERE HIT FROM THE OTHER PERSON GOING 45 MPH SO IT SHOULD HAVE TIGHTENED. SAD MOMMA. LIVES CHANGED FOREVER. :( [XXX]*DT PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY FORD FOCUS HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. I HAVE ASKED FORD TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND THEY STATED IT WILL BE $150 TO DO THAT. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THE AIR BAGS. MY LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING OFF AND ON AND I DO NOT THINK THE AIR BAGS WILL EMPLOY. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE AND ONLINE AS WELL. SOME CARS HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND AIRBAGS DID NOT EMPLOY. I AM TERRIFIED THIS WILL HAPPEN AND NOT SAVE A LIFE. I HAVE AN AUTISTIC 13 YR OLD THAT RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND MYSELF ARE VERY CONCERNED!. ALSO I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ONLINE A BIG ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL IN THE MIDDLE ISLE WHICH CONTROLS THE RADIO AND AIRBAGS AND WHATEVER OTHER WARNING LIGHTS AND CONTROLS MAY BE. MY RADIO SHORTED OUT WITH LOUD POPPING AND SRCREEHING NOSE THEN BLEW OUT. I THINK THE ELECTRICAL IS ALL BAD IN THE UNIT WHICH MAY BE EFFECTING THE AIRBAGS. PLEASE I AM ASKING FOR A VERY CONCERNED SAFETY CONCERN TO SAVE A LIFE REGARDING THE AIRBAGS PLEASE LOOK INTO A RECALL REGARDING THIS. I AM NOT THE FIRST ONE THO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I DO HAVE PICTURES WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND OFF. IT IS NOT A PUSH BUTTON! I CAN SEND PICTURES IF YOU NEED THEM. I AM ABLE TO DO CURRENTLY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. PLEASE HELP

AIR BAG LIGHT: OUR CAR WAS PARKED, AND GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. THIS DAMAGED THE FRAME, BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T ENGAGE. AFTER THE MECHANIC FIXED OUR CAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF, AND THE DEALERSHIP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO CLEAR IT OUT. WE HAVE ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THEM TO FIX IT, AND THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. I DON'T KNOW IF MY AIR BAGS WILL WORK, AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 5 YEARS NOW, AND EVERY TIME I BRING MY CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP IGNORES THE AIR BAG LIGHT.

BEFORE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS A REBUILT TITLE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED, I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED BY MY LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPT. EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF REPLACING THE AIR BAG. AFTER THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED (~$1000 LATER), THEY PROCEED TO TELL ME THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST US ANOTHER $2000. IF THIS WAS KNOWN AT THE TIME OF THE DIAGNOSTIC, WE WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE THIS PURCHASE.

I WAS GOING 60 MPH ON A FREEWAY IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO HYDROPLANE ACROSS 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND I HIT THE CENTER CONCRETE BARRIER HEAD ON AND THEN THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT CAUSED MY CAR TO SPIN AROUND AND THEN THE REAR OF THE CAR HIT THE BARRIER HEAD ON. NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NOT EVEN THE ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING FAULTY WITH THEM BUT NO ONE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT FOR ME.

POSSIBLE TAKATA RECALL-DONT KNOW IF THIS IS A TAKATA AIRBAG-ITS A 2012 FORD FOCUS, THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF NOW, BUT MY SON BOUGHT CAR YESTERDAY, WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT TODAY, CAR IS IN BAD SHAPE, HE IS OK, BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. A GUY WAS ISSUED A CITATION FOR MAKING A LEFT AND NOT YIELDING, SO MY SON SWIRVED TO MISS HIM AND HIS FRONT AND SIDE OF CAR WERE PRETTY BAD DAMAGED. HE WAS GOING 30, SLAMMED ON BREAKS AND SKIDDED WHEN THEY HIT.

I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP (HALDEMAN FORD IN ALLENTOWN, PA) THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR. PERIODICALLY, I INQUIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE REPAIR, BUT WAS TOLD EACH TIME THAT THEY STILL HAD NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR. I AGAIN INQUIRED RECENTLY AND WAS AGAIN TOLD I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE REQUIRED PARTS ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS ONE YEAR AND TWO MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION AND STILL THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. I HAVE JUST BEEN NOTIFIED THAT TANAKA WAS FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY. IT NOW APPEARS THAT THE PARTS MAY NEVER BE AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE REQUIRED TO DRIVE AROUND WITH DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS AIRBAGS WITH NO LEGAL RECOURSE TO SUE TANAKA FOR DAMAGES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. FORD SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS.
