2000 Ford Ranger airbags complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 67, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Srs light is always on now, may be due to using switch to turn off passenger airbag a couple of times or driving with it off. Now the alert light for the passenger doesn't light either. Other problem is engine knocking even though this 2000 ranger has only 36,000 miles and has been babied on super premium gas. I feel that fords tend to fail just out of warranty, these problems happened literally at the mark of 36,000 miles. Please investigate them!
During a 40 MPH frontal vehicle collision front air bags did not deploy. Vehicle was towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. *ak
Consumer's vehicle was involved in a head on collision at 40 MPH and the air bags did not deploy.
Driving along highway in phx az. Lady collided with another vehicle. She was spun around in a circle sending her sideways across 3 lanes of traffic in reverse. Ending up in my lane, on the far right, driving around 65 MPH I stepped on my brakes, skidding into her drivers side rear corner head on directly in the center of my truck. My bumper was creased in the center, pushing it back into my radiator, front grill was crushed, hood was smashed upward, windsheild was broken, both front parts of the frame were bent inward towards the center, steering wheel was bent at the top forward and the center of the steering wheel was cracked to the point that I was unable to steer the truck as the steering wheel just spun around without turning the front wheels. I was wearing my seat belt as was my 5year old daughter. I was thrown agianst the steering wheel and my knees hit the dash board under the steering wheel. I feel that my driver airbag should have gone off preventing me from hitting the steering wheel and the dash board. The truck has not been fixed as of yet, as I am waiting on the other drivers insurance company to have it appraised for damages. I have been seeing a chiropractor for my back, shoulders, arms, neck. Constant numbness in my arms and hands, as well as pain in my back around my shoulders. My knees are constantly sore and occaisionally swollen. I am unable to bend down at my knees because of the pain when standing back up, and fear of dislocating my knees which has happen already. I am unable to come up with funds to see a knee specialist. I was laid off from my work since I couldnt climb a ladder and install signs, or work in the shop doing sign manufacturing, unable to stand for any length of time. Unable to activily search for work in flagstaff, because I had to move in with relatives who live in munds park, az. Which is 28 miles away from city limits. Nothing but forestry between towns. Loss of work and transportation.

We ran into car that cut us off. Our speed was about 35 MPH. Neither air bag deployed, and my wife sustained a bruised or cracked sternum. The wrecker person and the state trooper both seemed to think air bags on rangers did not deploy easily. I contacted ford with the idea of providing useful data about their vehicle. I am not suing ford or the likes just trying to report what might be a problem. Ford has responded by informing me that my insurance carrier can subrogate ford if they feel ford has responsibility. My concern is that someone investigate those air bags on ford rangers are deploying in an appropriate manner. This problem needs to be investigated and apparently ford does not plan to do it.
