While driving my 2014 Ford CMAX Hybrid, I struck a deer at approximately 55 mph. There is moderate damage to my front end, but during the crash, my airbags did not deploy.

I WAS IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT (WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, HIT IN THE REAR AND PUSHED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A GUARD RAIL) MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. IT LOOKS LIKE MY VEHICLE'S MAKE MODEL AND YEAR WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PART OF A RECALL INVOLVING THE AIRBAG BUT WE WERE NEVER CONTACTED AND THE DEALER NEVER ACTED ON A RECALL.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2014 Ford Cmax Energi verdict →
