2006 Ford Escape Air bags Problems

“I was driving with my cruise control on. I tapped my brakes to disengage my cruise control and they locked long enough to send me into a fishtail. I over-corrected to come out of the fishtail and the Escape started rolling. The airbags never deployed even though the Escape rolled six times and was totaled while still under factory warranty. My daughter received some minor scratches on her hands. …”

“In 2011, I purchased my used 2006 Ford Escape. About 3 months after purchase, I noticed the passenger side air bag light would activate when an adult would sit in the passenger seat, signifying the air bag was off when it should be activated. Today I had my local Ford dealer check the air bag to see if it worked properly. They discovered that not only would the air bag not operate properly in a crash, the seat belt would also fail to lock as it should during a sudden stop or crash. …”

“Driving down a street in my neighborhood when the brakes failed. In previous occurrences I was told that the calipers froze up and that the brakes would make a grinding noise. Also the computer system on the vehicle would never record the proper amount of fuel in the tank or at times engage the brakes. I am not a professional but I know this vehicle did have issues. The vehicle was in motion on a city street and when I applied the brakes nothing happened. Upon impact it appeared I hit the steering wheel before the airbag deployed. I had my seat belt on. …”

When I took it to the dealer in march, I mentioned that my vehicle had stalled in my driveway after a 30 minute highway drive from work. They put it on the computer and said there was no code for a stall. …”

“We had an accident in my 2006 xls Escape, struck a tree . We had our safety belts on and after the impact my boyfriend had cpr on the side of the road where the incident occurred, he was not breathing. Neither front airbags deployed yet the steering wheel was broke nd the wiper unit???the damage to the car was extensive, almost totaling it, the damage was about$9000 dollars. The only reason it was not totaled because the SUV had only 28,500 miles on it and had been very well taken care of and serviced regularly by only Ford technicians. I bought the car for well over 26,000 dollars. …”
