What owners wrote
The car was involved in a one vehicle accident hitting a guard rail on an interstate at 60 MPH. It was pretty much a head on collision. The car stopped immediately when hitting the fifth post of the guard rail, stood the car up on its nose, spun around about 360 degrees before landing on the tires. During this time the air bags never deployed or the passenger seat belt caught. The passenger was bounced all around the car.
Unable to trade out of my car because of safety recall. Notice was given in may and it's now almost october. Contacted ford 9-16-15 with no help given. No deadline provided. I'm trapped in a car I can't get rid of. Expected at a minimum ford would purchase back.
