I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIGH SPEED COLLISION IN MY 2001 FORD RANGER 4X4 PICKUP ON THE MORNING OF TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2009. I WAS DRIVING ALONG A COUNTY ROAD AT 55 M.P.H. WHEN A 2003 FORD RANGER SUDDENLY MADE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY AS THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN BEFORE DECIDING TO TURN. I COULD NOT AVOID THE OTHER VEHICLE AND STRUCK ITS DRIVER SIDE DOOR TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 - 55 M.P.H. WITH THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, AND I SUSTAINED SEVERE WHIPLASH, SEATBELT BRUISING, BRUISED SHINS FROM HITTING THE BOTTOM OF THE DASHBOARD,, AS WELL AS TORN MUSCLES IN MY NECK ON EITHER SIDE OF MY LARYNX. ON AUGUST 1, 2008, I WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN TO HAVE A RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED ON THE AIRBAG IN MY TRUCK. WERE THE CRASH EVEN MORE SERIOUS, THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MORE SEVERE OR EVEN FATAL INJURIES. AS OF NOW, I HAVE MANY MONTHS AND POSSIBLY YEARS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY AHEAD OF ME. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A HIGH SPEED FRONT END CRASH AS THEY WERE DESIGNED TO DO. I BELIEVE MY INJURIES WOULD BE MUCH LESS SEVERE HAD THEY DEPLOYED. *TR

I HAVE PICTURES OF THE ACCIDENT AND THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE. I ASKED THE FORD DEALER WHY THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD WENT OFF AND WHY THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER HAD BROKE AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME IS THEY DID NOT KNOW. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THAT ANSWER AND I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I HAD TO PAY DOUBLE OF WHAT IT WOULD HAVE COST ME TO REPLACE ONE AIR BAG AND ONE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER. *NM
