I DROVE FROM MY HOUSE TO THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS ABOUT 3.8 MILES. I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER A ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO, I STARTED HEARING A WEIRD FAINT NOISE. I LOOKED AROUND THINKING IT WAS MAYBE A CAR NEAR ME, AND I SAW SMOKE STARTING TO COME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THANKFULLY THE REST STOP WAS LESS THAN HALE A MILE AWAY. I GOT TO THE REST STOP, PARKED THE CAR AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM THE UNDER THE DASHBOARD. I HAD JUST FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE, SO I MADE SURE TO KEEP MY DISTANCE WHILE WAITING FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ARRIVE. THE FRONT OF THE CAR QUICKLY WENT UP IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE THE WHOLE CAR DISINTEGRATED. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD LAST OCTOBER FOR A RECALL, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS TAKEN CARED OF. I HAD CALLED FORD, BUT THEY STATE THE RECALL WOULD NOT CAUSE AN ENGINE FIRE, SO THEY WILL NOT OWN UP TO IT. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY CAR, SO THERE'S NO REASON THAT I CAN THINK OF THAT WOULD MAKE THIS HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP ME, I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT THIS IS SOMETHING FORD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE, WHO MAY END UP GETTING INJURED SEVERELY FROM IT. LET'S PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING

MY 74YR OLD MOM HIT A 1 FOOT TALL CONCRETE BARRIER (PICTURE ATTACHED) AT A COUNTY RURAL RECYCLING CENTER RESULTING IN ALL 4 AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. BARRIER ISN'T PAINTED, NO FENCE, NO RAILING OR POLE TO MARK IT. MINOR DAMAGE (PHOTO ATTACHED) TO THE AUTO, BOSCH RECORDER SHOWS <15 MPH (FILE TOO LARGE TO ATTACH). CAR IS IN A STORAGE UNIT IN IOWA FOR EVIDENCE. MOM'S PROGNOSIS WAS SUBDURAL HEMATOMA, ENCEPHALOPATHY AND UNCAL HERNIATION RESULTING IN HER DEATH (SEE ATTACHED). MEDICAL EXAMINER DETERMINED CAUSE OF DEATH WAS THE CAR ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION TO THE ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS, MY STEP-DAD (84 YEARS OLD) WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ALSO WAS HIT BY AIRBAGS. WHILE THE AIRBAGS SAVED HIM, HE WAS QUITE BRUISED/INJURED. EMERGENCY RESPONSE WAS NOT REQUESTED. WE (MY FAMILY) BELIEVE THAT CONSIDERING THE AGE OF OUR PARENTS AND THE FACT MY MOM WAS HIT IN THE SIDE OF THE FACE - MORE CAUTION (STATE LAW REQUIRING MEDICAL ATTENTION) SHOULD BE EXERTED BY ALL POLICE OFFICERS IN THIS SITUATION (POLICE REPORT ATTACHED). WE TAKE ALL KINDS OF PRECAUTIONS WITH KIDS ON THE SPORTS FIELDS, WHY NOT THE ELDERLY? MY MOM WAS OBVIOUSLY SUFFERING FROM CONFUSION AND CONCUSSION. TRAGICALLY, WE LOST HER TO A SAFETY FEATURE. UNCOMPREHENSIBLE. *BF *TT
