What owners wrote
This vehicle was traveling in the right lane when it was run off the interstate at 75-80 MPH, it went off the right shoulder, came back into the right lane, went into a spin, went off the roadway at the left shoulder and rolled over 1-2 times in the median before striking the interstate dividing cable which prevented the vehicle from entering the oncoming lanes of travel. The driver and passenger were buckled in, and there were two dogs as passengers. One of the dogs was ejected. No airbags deployed!!!!
Takata recall - ford has informed me on july 14, 2017 via senator nelson that it will not be able to repair my faulty airbag until 1st quarter of 2018.
