NHTSA Complaint #10851716 — 2013 FORD EXPLORER

I WAS STANDING AT A RED LIGHT AND WAS REAR ENDED BY A SPEEDING DRIVER. I WAS CATAPULTED INTO THE TRUCK STANDING IN FRONT OF ME. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS TOTALED, AS WELL AS THE FRAME BENT FROM THE REAR; WHERE I WAS HIT ORIGINALLY ONLY MILLISECONDS BEFORE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAG PROTECTION, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. A FIREMAN ON SCENE COMMENTED THAT HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE IS IN THE POLICE IMPOUND LOT, BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURIES. I HAVE SINCE SHOWN THE PICTURES TO SEVERAL PEOPLE, EVEN MECHANICS; AND THEY HAVE ALL STATED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS, SINCE THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS DEMANDING THAT I RELEASE THE VEHICLE TO THEM IMMEDIATELY.
