'TAKATA RECALL' ON 6 FEB 2019, MY SON WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER DRIVER CAUSING HIM TO HYDROPLANE OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND THROUGH A DITCH, MAKING CONTACT WITH A TREE. THE FUSION SUFFERED MODERATE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END, AND UNDERCARRIAGE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED EVEN WITH THE FRONT END REMOVED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS TOTALING THE CAR MAKING MY WIFE AND I TO WONDER WHY OUR SON WAS NOT PROTECTED BY THE AIRBAG? IT CLEARLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED GIVEN THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS IN OCTOBER OF 2018. IS THIS CASE STILL OPEN?

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT THE DAY TIME AND I WANTED TO AVOID A DEER CROSSING THE ROAD, THE CAR STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT TURNED THE WHEEL. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CAR HITS A TREE AND GOT TOTALLY DAMAGE. WHEN THE CAR HITS THE TREE, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT STAY INFLATED, BUT INSTEAD DEPLOYED DEFLATED.I WAS SERIOUSLY INJURIED AND GOT TRANSPORTED TO THE TRAUMA CENTER IN ATLANTA FOR EXAMINATION. THE REASON I AM REPORTING THIS COMPLAIN IS THAT MY CAR FORD FUSION 2015 IS ON RECALL BY FORD COMPANY. ON MAY 22/2018, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN THE CITY I LIVE TO FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE SAME DAY THE COMPANY CALLED ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND THE CAR NEEDS TO BE PICK UP. WHAT I DID. MY ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE THIRD DAY AFTER THE WORK. SO, I DID NOT KNOW IF THE REAL PROBLEM IS FIXED. IF YES, WHY THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND I COULDN,T CONTROL THE CAR? BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, I OFTEN AVOID DEERS ON THE RAOD AND NOTHING HAPPENED. WHY THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT THIS TIME? AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE POLICE CAME AND THE RESCUE TEAM CAME TO THE PLACE AND THEY WILL MADE THE REPORTS TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR CLAIMS. BUT I HAVE TO DO THIS TO THE OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION AGAINST FORD COMPANY. THIS WILL SAVE OTHER CITIZEN LIVE ON THE ROAD. THANKSTO BE TO THE GOD THAT I AM ALIVE. I GOT MINOR INJURIES ON MY ARMS BUT FEEL PAINS IN SOME PARTS OF MY BODY. THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED SOME PAIN KILLERS THA I AM USING NOW. THE EXAM DID NOT SHOW ANY INTERNAL PROBLEM BUT I HAVE TO BE MONITORIZED FOR EVENTUAL ISSUES. I AM A STUDENT I COULD NOT GO TO SCHOOL AT THIS MOMENT. THIS ISSUE IS SERIOUS AND NEED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. THE CAR COULD NOT BE FIXED AND RUN. MY INSURANCE WILL DO THE REST BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE THE AMOUNT OF THE BILLS THAT GONNA COME OUT. SO, PLEASE, OFFICIALS, I NEED YOUR HELP. THA
