ON MARCH 24, 2013, MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING TO DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPRT VIA I-70 EAST BOUND. MY TRUCK AS WELL AS MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES HIT SOME BLACK ICE ON A LONG BRIDGE I-70 EAST BOUND. BY TRUCK SLID SIDE WAYS AND HIT THE CONCRETE MEDIAN HEAD ON AND AT SAME TIME WAS HIT BY ANOTHER OUT OF CONTROL VEHICLE WHICH HIT ME IN THE DRIVERS DOOR. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO SPIN SEVERAL TIMES ACROSS 3 LANES AND RAN INTO GUARD RAIL HEAD ON. UPON ALL THREE IMPACTS THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK NOR DID ANY AIR BAGS DEPLOY CAUSING MY GIRLFRIEND TO HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND I STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST AND CHIN. WHEN THE FIRE DEPT. ARRIVED, THEY CUT TALL BATTERY CABLE TO PREVENT THE AIR BAGS GOING OFF ACCIDENTALLY WHILE WE WERE BEING REMOVED FROM THE TRUCK. NO TICKETS WERE ISSUED TO MYSELF OR THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK THAT HIT ME. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLED AS THE FRAME WAS TWISTED AND TOTAL FRONT END WAS DESTROYED. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD DIRECTLY. I SENT THEM PICTURES AND INFORMATION THEY ASKED FOR. THEY ARE REQUESTING INFORMATION AND ACCESS TO THE TRUCK THAT I CANNOT PROVIDE AS MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOOK POSSESION OF THE VEHICLE. TO THIS DAY FORD ONLY SENDS ME LETTERS ASKING FOR MORE INFORMATION I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO. THE PICTURES I SENT TO FORD SHOWED EVERY ANGLE OF THE FRONT END DAMAGE AS WELL AS PICTURES OF THE INSIDE CLEARLY SHOWING THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT SINCE I'M THE AVERAGE PERSON STRUGGLING TO MAKE A LIVING AND FORD IS THE BIG CORPORATION WITH BOTTOMLESS POCKETS THAT NOTHING WILL BE DONE OR HAS BEEN DONE. THIS IS CLEARLY A CASE OF FAULTY EQUIPMENT WHICH I SENT PROOF WITH THE PICTURES. BIG BROTHER STICKS IT TO THE AVERAGE PERSON AGAIN WITH NO CONSEQUENCES!!! *TR
