I purchased my 2008 Ford F150 in 11-26-07. I have had electrical problems from the start.when I turn on my head lites all console lites go blank. My main concern though is that my air bags electrical is also messed up.I was in an accident.I hit a donkey!smashed the front end in, and no airbag ever went off! I am concerned about my safety and the safety of my children. I have proof and just need information and or help with my situation. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

In Feb 2011, I called for about my 2008 Ford F-150 regarding the airbag light going on and off and Ford will do nothing about it. I just read that 1.2 mil F-150's were being recalled for the same issue. They said my VIN does not qualify for recall. VIN # [xxx]. so, because I don't have $500-$900 for the repair, I get to wait to be injured. Not right! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was in a four car pile up on interstate 75, going approximately 55 mph when traffic came to an abrupt and crashed directly head on into the car in front of me. After the initial hit, I was rear ended by a tow car, slamming me into the car with extremely force again. My car had to be towed because the whole front had very severe damage, along with the damage to the rear. The safety issue is that my airbags never deployed when they should have with a head on collision at speeds in excess of 50 mph, and also the second hit to the car in front of me, which had just as much force as the initial crash.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford F-150. That contact stated while traveling at 45 mph, he crashed into a pole. The contact could not recall the details of the crash and had lost consciousness when crashing into the pole. The vehicle was destroyed. The air bags did not deploy. The police advised that the air bags should have deployed upon impact at the speed the contact was traveling. The vehicle was not inspected for the cause of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileages were 36,000.
