What owners wrote
Consumer was in an automobile accident. Upon impact the passengers seatbelt did not lock, allowing passenger to move forward hitting the windshield, face first. The air bag deployed after the initial impact of the accident. Resulting in facial swellling of the passenger and 3 loose teeth. Consumers air bag opened later also, but the seat belt locked and consumer only suffered a badly burned thumb.
During a recent automobile accident, the driver side seat belt did not secure the driver. The drive suffered facial injury when contact was made with the steering wheel. I will contact the ford dealership this week.
