Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On june 13, 2006 approx. 3:00 pm my father was critically injured in a rollover accident just outside of moses lake washington. my father still remains hosptalized after having to have an ear reattached, severe head lacerations, a broken eye socket, and broken breast bone, and having the skin torn off his left hand. the washington state patrol says according to witnesses that his truck flipped 3-4 times causing total destruction of the truck. at no time during the rollover and destruction of the trucks frontend did the air bags deploy. this was a brand new 2006 ford ranger with less than 2,500 miles on it. if it was not for a passing nurse and emt the state patrol says my father would have likely died. i called both the dealer, and sent an email to the ford motor company, both declined to comment. i am very disturbed that vehicles are being sold with such problems. sincerely, patrick martin. *nm
