1997 Ford Expedition airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Airbag failed to deploy. I am looking for information concerning other ford 's where airbag failed to deploy.
Would be driving vehicle & applying brakes (ABS) & pedal would pulsate. Vehicle would fail to stop. Problem is intermittent. Abs light kept coming on and staying. Would only go off when vehicle is not on. Took to dealership & was informed tsb on vehicle & it was out of warranty, by 5 weeks with only 4163 miles. *ak the vehicle is used to pull boat, and has extremely poor fuel mileage .this vehicle had two brake failures due to bad sensors. The manufacturer installed defective sinsors which are safety hazard but refuses admit.
While driving at 40-45 MPH hit a truck with front end , and dual airbags did not deploy,causing injuries consumer will contact manufacturer.please provide further information.
While trying to avoid an accident consumer hit a ditch, and air bags did not deploy while traveling 50 MPH. Vehicle was totalled. *ak.et.
Both airbags failed to deploy in major accident. Police said they should have.
While driving under icy conditions vehicle slid into a telephone pole at 20 MPH. Air bags did not deploy, and seta belt ripped, causing rug to burn to driver's neck. Dealer has not been contacted.
While driving 45 MPH and braking had a frontal impact, and driver's/passenger's airbags did not deploy, which did not protect the occupant in this crash. Please provide further information.
Computer system that controls the airbags is defective and must be replaced at my expense due to warranty...we were warned that the airbag won't deploy in an accident or may deploy at anytime. Upon calling ford motor company they told me that there was nothing that they would do. I feel that this part should not have gone bad this fast, and that I should not have to absorb the whole cost of the repair, which was estimated at $350.00. If I wanted the part shipped overnight it would cost another 15% extra. Thank you for any help you can provide. The airbag light flashed off and on and then stayed on. When I took it in to the dealer they charged me $60 for an analysis and then said the computer part was bad. Thank you.
When brakes were depressed the accelerator floored itself, passenger witnessed foot on brake and not the throttle. Passenger side seat belt did not work, and not air bags deployed. The vehicle frame was bent from the crash.
The air bag warning light has come on twice before it was repaired. The first time at 14,000miles. This time it is currently with dealer at 20,000.
Driver lost control of vehicle, ran off the road into an embankment and driver was ejected out of vehicle. The airbag didn't deploy. Also, transmission shift indicator has a lot of play and is off when selecting a gear.
While attempting to pull into a parking lot driver stepped on brake and vehicle accelerated out of control, crashing into a bank. Driver's shoulder harness did not work, and air bag failed to deploy, resulting in an injury.
Airbags did not deploy and the passenger side seat belts did not prevent the passenger from being propelled forward and hitting the windshield when the brakes were applied and the vehicle struck a wall. The engine sustained extensive damage and the frame was twisted.
When vehicle rearended by another vehicle traveling about 30 MPH there was no deployment of the air bags. Also, the seat belt did not prevent the driver from going forward; head hit steering wheel. The vehicle is being repaired.
The consumer happroached an intersection other vehicle ran a stop, applied ABS brakes and collided with other vehicle, the air bags didn't deploy.
