On September 13, 2020, my father was driving his 2015 Ford F150, with me in the passenger seat. We were hit in a high speed head-on collision on I-55/I-240 in Memphis, TN by an oncoming driver, which killed both my father (the driver), and the oncoming vehicle driver, and I was taken to the hospital with injuries in critical condition. My father was extracted from the vehicle and taken to the morgue, but when I was able to return to the truck at the impound lot, I found no drivers side airbag in the truck. While EMTs informed me that the airbag was cut, it was odd that the airbag was not still in the truck. His cause of death was blunt force trauma, and if the airbag did deploy, it would have had to have been a part of the immediate fatality. If it did not deploy, it would also have been a factor. On the passenger side, where I had been, all airbags were still attached, but cut in order to extract me. In the days immediately following the accident, my lip was swollen from hitting the airbag, but there was also a piece of shrapnel lodged in my lip, confirmed by XRay, which later came out. I am concerned about both my father's fatality, and how the airbag deployed and what role it played in the fatality, as well as the injury of shrapnel getting embedded in my lip. I believe that the airbag could be a contributing factor in both issues.

Moisture in a taillight housing of a 2015 Lariat F-150 caused the BLIS module and wiring harness to short out. The BLIS module is tied into multiple vehicle systems, and caused the following issues: Airbags turned off BLIS system turned off TPMS turned off Windows and door locks don't function Radio stuck in whatever setting it is in when faulted Air conditioning panel and all climate controls turn off During a road trip this happened. I was unable to egress the vehicle until I shut it off. It is summertime so the vehicle, without ac or the ability to control the windows, became very hot. I had kids in the car. Also, without airbags, window, and door control, if I were to crash the vehicle, I don't know if I could safely extract my family. The moisture in the taillight is a known issue, and is covered in GSB 22-7002, but I couldn't find a BLIS module GSB/TSB. However, the BLIS module failure is a known issue, and there are multiple diagnostic videos and write-ups describing this issue on YouTube and F-150 forums. This is a safety issue, and should promptly be addressed.

My father was involved in a single vehicle accident in September 2020, where he struck a utility pole with the front driver side bumper on his truck, causing the pole to break. His truck was traveling around 55 mph on a state highway, when he suddenly had to avoid hitting a truck that braked in front of him, causing my father to swerve to the right. His truck went through a ditch before it came to a stop when it struck the utility pole. The air bag in the steering wheel came out but failed to inflate and my father hit his head on the steering wheel. He suffered with injuries which included bleeding on the brain and had to be air lifted to a trauma hospital and had to be put in icu!! he's still under the care of his doctors
Was driving on highway, cruise set at 55mph, came over a hill to a car stalled in the road. I couldn't stop, both vehicles declared total loss. Direct hit, front of my 2105 F150 to the rear end of a Ford Focus, approximately 40mph. Seatbelt tightened and locked up, left bruises across my hips, airbags did not deploy. Hit my face in the steering wheel, bruised knees on dash.
The airbag light is illuminated steady on. It began with the light only turning on when the vehicle was in warm/hot weather. Now, it is on consistency with each start. The dealer says there is a fault with the seatbelt airbags that would inflate from the seatbelts in the instance of an accident. Although no accident has occurred, this now requires full replacement at $1,000+ cost.
The plastic around the Ford emblem bottom side of the column air bag is cracked. I'm concerned that this might affect the safe operation of the bag, allowing moisture to enter into St sealed system. Also the cracked plastic is very sharp
I had a significant front end collision and the airbags did not deploy. I was traveling at least 70 mph on the interstate when I collided with another vehicle.

As a result, the contact crashed into a tree. The air bags did not deploy. The contact (driver) sustained chest, head, and a fractured sternum injuries when he hit the steering wheel and his girlfriend (front passenger) sustained a back injuries. Both injuries requested medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed via flatbed to impound lot. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not diagnosed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 20,000. Consumer stated I'm very surprised to hear that travelers insurance company just towed and destroyed the vehicle when I expressly told them that the airbags did not deploy and that the medical benefits were maxed out. I thought for sure that insurance companies dissected vehicles in such major accidents and being notified by the owner that the equipment was faulty that they did not do a post mortem. My girlfriend got a broken back in the injury, had to have surgery and will most likely be in pain for the rest of her life. I could not work or lift anything over 6 months until my sternum healed itself and had to live through pain while I healed. I still feel a small feeling in my chest.
Hit a tree at 55 miles per hour and airbags never deployed. Went from 55miles per hour to 0 instantly and if it wasn't for us wearing seat belts we would both be dead. The passenger got 3 cracked vertebrae and will be disabled for life. The driver hit the steering wheel and got a crushed his sternum which leaves him immobile for 6months to let his sternum heal on it's own.
