What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the driver veered off the roadway and crashed into a tree. The contact was uncertain if the air bags deployed. The driver sustained fatal injuries and a police a report was filed of the incident. The vehicle caught on fire due to a dislodged fuel line and a compromised firewall. The fire was ignited by the fuel leak that came from under the carriage. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
In a crash involving a front end collision where a truck turned left striking our edge in the front left, the air bags did not deploy. We were traveling about 25 MPH and the other vehicle at about 15-20 MPH. My wife suffered a fractured leg and I back issues. The crash was severe enough to total the vehicle. It happened so fast I did not apply brakes. The other vehicle was an older dodge dakota pickup.
