Consumer Description

IN JULY OF 2010 I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 FORD FOCUS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE LADY INFRONT OF ME STOPPED, I HAD TURNED FOR A SECOND, WHEN I TURNED BACK I SAW THE AIRBAGS BLOW IN MY FACE. I WAS TRAVELING A MAXIMUM OF 10MPH THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE OR MINE (FROM THE ACCIDENT). THE DRIVER AIRBAG BURNED MY ARM, THE PASSENGER SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD, GUN POWDER COVERED THE ROOF LINING. THE PARTS MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS WHERE RATED 25-30MPH. I CONTACTED FORD IN AUGUST OF 2010, IN JANUARY OF 2011 THEY FINALLY REPLIED BY SAYING THAT "ALL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY." *TR
