What 1995 Ford Explorer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Consumer was involved in an accident in which the airbags did not experience deployment and the seat belts did not lock, consumer states the vehicle has been fixed, however the seat belts still do not lock in place, consumer was injured in the accident.
I put on the brakes when I realized I was going to rear-end the car in front of me and when the accident happened the airbags and safety belt restraints failed, leaving me hitting the steering wheel and my head hitting the windshield.
I rearended someone after trying to stop and my seatbelt did not lock in, nor did the airbags go off. I ended up with bruised ribs and heart.
Thought the guy in front of me was going to go through a yellow light, so I figured I would follow in suit. Then he just suddenly stopped, with me hitting him directly in the rearend. My seatbelts did not deploy, as my head hit and broke the windshield, and obviously the airbag did not go off. Suffering chest bruising and trouble breathing.
Was traveling 50 MPH when another vehicle pulled out in front. This caused explorer to "t" boned it. Once this happened, air bags on the explorer failed to deploy. Vehicle's front was damage, but was repairable. No injuries.
Air bag sensor light continued to stay on. Dealer notified, and infomed consumer that problem was due to a clock spring failure. Any repairs would be at consumer's cost. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
Air bag light remained on. Dealer notified, and made repairs at consumer's cost. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
As a past and present owner of ford vehicles, I wish to express my sincere dissatisfaction with the recent lack of support the ford motor company and its dealerships provide to insure the integrity of ford vehicle safety systems. I am writing with respect to a recent repair that was performed on the airbag system of my 1995 ford explorer. When the odometer read approximately 56,000 miles, the dashboard airbag indicator lamp began to illuminate. After taking it to dick ruhl ford at 7250 sawmill road in columbus, ohio for repair, I was informed that the cost of the repair ($425.45) would not be covered due to excessive mileage. In addition, two separate visits to the dealership were required to complete the repair since the source of the problem was not properly diagnosed initially.
