IT WAS A RAINY EVENING ABOUT 6:30 PM, I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A STREET AT ABOUT 25MPH TRYING TO KEEP MY SPEED AT THAT BECAUSE OF THE DECLINE COMING TO A STOPLIGHT WHICH I REALIZED A SECOND TOO LATE WAS RED INSTEAD OF GREEN, I TRIED TO STOP AND COULDN'T BECAUSE THE ROAD WAS TOO WET AND HIT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT FENDER. THE ONCOMING FORCE OF THAT VEHICLE SPUN ME AROUND INTO THAT STREET AND PROPELLED ME INTO A LARGE POLE HEADON SMASHING MY FRONT END INTO MY WINDSHIELD. UPON THAT IMPACT, MY FACE HIT MY STEERING WHEEL, LACERATING MY LOWER LIP COMPLETE THICKNESS DOWN INTO MY CHIN, CHIPPED MY LEFT FRONT TOOTHAND BROKE THE CARTLIDGE IN MY NOSE WITH CONSIDERABLE BRUISING AND SWELLING, ALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

DATE IS APPROXIMATE. 1994 FORD AEROSTAR REAR ENDED AT STOP LIGHT HARD ENOUGH TO BREAK 7X19 CABLE HOLDING SPARE TIRE, AND SEND VEHICLE INTO CAR IN FRONT OF IT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO BREAK RADIATOR AND AC RADIATOR. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. APPROXIMATLY 3 MONTHS AFTER BACK FROM REPAIRS, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING OCCASIONLY. THIS CONTINUED GETTING WORSE UNTIL IT BLINKED CONSTANTLY, ALSO THE HORN WAS INTERMITTENTALY OPERATIONAL. I CHECKED YOUR "SEARCH COMPLAINTS" SECTION AND SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM EVEN WITHOUT THE ACCIDENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING AS SEVERAL PEOPLE STATE IN THE COMPLAINTS SECTION. IN FACT THIS MUST BE COMMON DUE TO WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE ORIGINAL REPAIRS THEY DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM AND SAID "IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CLOCK SPRING AND TAKES ABOUT 2 HOURS TO REPAIR." THEN QUOTED A PRICE, ONLY MISSING THE PRICE QUOTE BY THE AMOUNT OF TAX ADDED TO THE BILL! PLEASE RESEARCH THIS, IF NOTHING ELSE LOOK AT YOUR OWN SYSTEM UNDER AIRBAGS, HORN, AND SPEED CONTROLS! DOESN'T TAKE A BEAN COUNTER TO SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS "SAFETY" SYSTEM!!!!!!!
