Description of the problem	My husband was driving our 2001 ford f150 supercrew lariat on 4/14/04. He was struck from behind by a dodge neon going approximately 70 mph. My husband was going 35 mph. The safety belt did not latch nor did the airbag deploy, resulting in my husbands being thrown forward and hitting his head at great force on the windshield. The force of the crash totalled my truck, cracking and bending the frame. Had either safety feature worked, my husband would not be injured today. Four weeks later he suffers from short term memory loss, extreme anger and mood swings and has soft tissue damage to his neck and vertebrae. I have contacted ford and am waiting for a response. ak rq04011.pco
