Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 lincoln navigator (pre-owned by someone else who was in an accident in the vehicle the same month i got it where he hit someone from behind in a chain-reaction car pile-up). i was in an accident where someone pulled out in front of me. i was going about 40-50 mph (that roads speed limit was 55 mph). i hit the other driver in his drivers side, so my truck looked like a front end collision except for the passenger side in the front wasn't damaged. i suffered a deep cut in my neck from the seat belt tightening a little bit & i had just had abdominal surgery in may so i got my incision site re-bruised, & my knees got jammed up in the dashboard. i had a passenger up front & my 5 year old son in the back, but he was ok just complained of knees hurting but the front passenger was hurt. she sustained a broken tooth from her seat belt hitting her in the mouth, her ankle was hurt, her neck was hurt a bit & other breathing issues. my airbags never deployed!! i was told by the ford/lincoln consumer complaints that if a test is done to show that the air bags aren't faulty(nothing wrong with them), then nothing would be done because it could be the force of the crash or the fact that i did have a guard-grille on front of my truck & it could have taken the brunt of the force which didn't allow my air bags to deploy & that's totally unacceptable to me because i'm paying for something & it doesn't work regardless of the force! *nm
