| Description of the problem | My parents were involved in a head on accident with a drunk driver who had cross the center line, in which case none of the airbags were deployed. The bunt force of the accident was to the passenger front corner of the vehicle where the passenger side of the uni-body and the front clip support cross section meet. The vehicle is being moved to the nearest mercury dealer. We have contact the vehicle manufacture and are awaiting a response from the office of general console for a response of investigation plan of why the airbags did not deploy. I am representing my parent do to my vehicle mechanical background. |
