My daughter and her fianc and put their 10 month old and their 8 year old in the seatbelts and my daughter got in the car (she is pregnant) and shut her door and her fianc got in and shut his door and the curtain airbags went off and the back airbags. They were in park at the time. There was not reason for the airbags to deploy. They only had liability insurance so they won't pay anything. I called the ford dealer (who I just bought a $50,000 2015 ford explorer from him january 2015) and he said I could call the service desk who was no help. Stated there is no recall. Anyone I can call? This is crazy and dangerous!!!!
