Approx. 7:43 PM on LA 10 in Northern Louisiana, I was driving with my two minor children in the car when a deer jumped out and we collided. I have a scar from the seat belt impression on my skin, but thankful my children and I are not injured with an impact a 9 out of 10 traveling the speed limit of 50/55 MPH. The deer's body print is in the front of my vehicle causing my hood to crumple up, right head light to break and be destroyed. My airbag sensor came on, but my airbags NEVER deployed. I am grateful that my children and I are still alive, but this is a defect and needs to be looked at. Ford advised me there is nothing they can nor will do until there is a recall or I sue. Please do NOT buy this vehicle. I will be uploading pictures at a later time.
