Description of the problem | My son, 49 years old, was backing out of his driveway, on level ground, and the airbag blew up in his face. His head was turned sideways looking in the side mirror hurting his neck. Took the pickup to the ford dealer ship in gainesville, tx. They replaced the airbag and other parts and said a wire shorted out in the steering column a defective wire. This could have killed my son if he had bean driving down the highway at 70 miles per hour. This was a ford 150 2005 pickup. |
