RickinLA Posted April 23, 2025 Share Posted April 23, 2025 (edited) I had a friend that was rear ended in his 2018 Ford Escape. He was pushed into the vehicle in front of him. BUT, his shoulder harness didn't latch causing him to impact the steering wheel, plus the steering wheel airbag didn't deploy. The lower leg airbag did deploy. SOUNDS like a major problem here! Any TSB noticed about this? Edited April 24, 2025 by RickinLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he's ok. The guy that slammed into the back of him, it was his girlfriend car and she didn't have any insurance. Friends car was pushed into the car in front of him and in turn that car into the forth victim. Since the airbag DIDN'T DEPLOY, he was slammed into the steering wheel. No broken bones, he's just lucky. AGAIN, the questions is why didn't the shoulder belt lock, and the airbag didn't go off???? He told me that after the accident when he leaned back into the seat the shoulder belt then locked. I think if FoMoCo reads these posts they should reach out to this guy and inspect the vehicle which is at his home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to check to see if the Escape was in a previous accident and was repaired poorly. FoMoCo is not gonna go to the guys house based on this post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
