What owners wrote
Vehicle was rear ended and collided with another vehicle. Upon impact, driver's seatback collapsed, and restraints released. Also, airbags did not deploy, resuling in minor injuries. Ford will be notified.
Passive restraint system disables my ignition (it seems) sometimes when I put my key in to start the car. The alarm light blinks rapidly and if I take out my key and re insert it, I will hear a small noise like a mechanism resetting and then my car will start. 3 attempts to put on diagnostic machine..failed to diagnose.
