What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH, another vehicle crashed into the front driver's side door. The air bags failed to deploy with the significant impact. The driver sustained three fractured ribs, injuries to the shoulder, a traumatic brain injury and was currently on life support. A police report was filed of the incident. The vehicle was declared destroyed and towed to a salvage facility. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem.
Takata recall - it's been over a year since I was first notified of this risk and ford has not taken any action or notified me. To put this in to perspective, the us military moved tens of thousands of troops and equipment half way around the world to iraq and defeated the worlds 5th largest army in less time than ford has been working on this recall. Time is up. I need a new airbag system before I get in to an accident not afterwards.
