Failure of air bag deployment in 2001 ford taurus. This was a high speed crash where the consumer could not control the vehicle and impacted a concrete bridge rail. When the consumer first took possession of the vehicle, it had a bad shimmy in the front end when the brakes were applied. The dealer found the rotors were warped, a few days after the rotors were replaced the rear end of the vehicle fish tailed, the dealer then discovered the rear drums were not round and had to be replaced.

November 2001 CrashInjury

While driving 50 MPH consumer heard a loud noise. Consumer pulled over to the side to examine the vehicle. Consumer nearly lost control of the vehicle because the right (passenger) front dropped dangerously low. Consumer determined that the right tire blew out, and the coil spring broke. The broken end of the spring went in the inside of the sidewall, which damaged the tire. Also, vehicle was running on a smooth road when incident occurred.
