What owners wrote

Hello, today I got into an accident. I hydroplaned and went into a guide rail on the interstate going about 50MPH. My friend and I are having major problems with our backs and necks and my airbags didn't deploy. This isn't the first time I've gotten into accident and they didn't deploy. The first time wasn't life threatening but this one was. I don't have any recollection of the accident and I am not able to remember much of yesterday either.

The horn quit sounding upon activation by the horn relay switch on the steering wheel. It does not sound when pressing the remote twice to confirm it's locked up. It does not sound when the alarm is activated. The fuse is ok. The horn relay does not click when horn relay switch on steering wheel is depressed. The wires are all intact and connected. I took it to a ford dealer. They said it would cost $200-300 and need the car for 2 days.
