The air bags did not deploy during an accident. The consumer was rear ended and hit other vehicles, as this happened, the seat back broke and the seat belt buckle had came loose. The engine continued to run and the fuel safety switch did not turn off. Scc *nlm
I have a 1996 ford mustang LX. I was driving my car at night and I had it on cruise control and it blew up.I took care of my car and checked the engine and the antifreeze before I leave my house.I gave my car a 15 minute warm up period before I leave my house.the engine overheated and blew up due to faulty engine gasket. I have had to change the starter,the water pump(2x), radiator, and pistons because of that. I am very mad at ford and I told them so in dearborn mi.
