Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 11/20/05 at approximately 10:00 p.m. a deer ran in front of my van. the impact was on the drivers front left at the headlight section of the vehicle. minor damage was done to the vehicle but the incident caused injury to my wife. the drivers airbag didn't deploy but the passengers did. this caused the airbag to break my wife's wrist in 2 places. at the same time the drivers seat belt locked but the passengers didn't causing my wife to go forward. both of us were wearing our seat belts. this seems to me that there was some kind of defect in the system since everything happened backwards. at this time nothing has been done to the van but ford customer affairs is suppose to be contacting me. *jb
