Re: ford edge turned left into parking lot. Rt rear tire hit curb. Drove straight into parking space almost stopped. Car accelerated, became airborn, made sharp left. 40mpr within 35-40 ft. Hit steel pole/concrete head on. Front & side air bags did not deploy & seat belts did not hold occupants. Believe computer took over after hitting tire. Computer is to bring car into control as if out of control on ice or snow but conditions were dry. Police claim driver stepped on gas instead of brake. Reported to ford.
Takata recall. My vehicle was recalled due to the potential severity of harm to occupants when an airbag inflator ruptures. I was notified on june 1 2016 of this problem. I have called the ford dealer a few times during the last 19 months and the answer is the same. No parts available. More recently, I received a letter from ford advising that I should not use the front seat for passengers. Now my SUV is essentially a taxi cab. I'm sure you would agree this is a very serious matter.
