my airbag didn't go off either when i hit that tree. Marty i definetly think you have a case against ford in the tire area but I'm not sure about the airbag but hey its worth a shot. When **** like that happens and safety equipment fails i think why the safety equipment doesn't work should be explained by the company. Hitting the wall at 55mph is damn fast and not having an airbag deploy could be the difference between serious injury and escaping with minor cuts and bruises and in worse case death. In this case we were lucky and marty was for the most part ok. I can understand why my airbag didn't go off. i probably missed the sensor since i more or less just grazed the tree. Plus my car is 12 years old so there was possible mechanical fialure. Marty i think you should definetly demand some answers from ford and goodyear and make them pay.


oh and when you actually make contact it sounds like it does in nascar to when they wreck. And marty you should at least make ford and goodyear aware of the problem incase it is another firestone situation and they are not yet aware of it
