2005 Ford Explorer Air bags Problems

“I was involved in an accident on fl state road 85 at the okalossa regional airport on wednesday, february 1, 2006 at approximately 6:30 p.m. While traveling north on highway 85 another vehicle ran the stop sign exiting the airport to travel south on highway 85. My 2005 Ford Explorer was traveling at 55 MPH and t-boned a 2003 Ford minivan. None of my airbags deployed!”

“Was traveling westbound on hwy 98 in florida when the vehicle slammed on its brakes to stop at the yellow light, my reaction time was not enough to stop in time to not hit him. I hit the back of the work van going between 45-55 MPH. My seatbelt was fastened and the inertia reel never locked in. My head hit the steering wheel and the airbags didn't deploy. My front bumper made solid impact. I am taking my vehicle to a shop on tuesday to have everything looked at and fixed.”

“2005 Ford Explorer, driving on a twisty coastal highway, about 35 MPH, turned wheel to follow right hand turn in the road, there was no power to the steering wheel, or to the brakes. I had to wrench the wheel really hard to the right to keep from driving off of the road. I finally pulled to the side, turned on hazard lights, removed key from ignition. I reinserted key, car started and ran as if nothing ever happened. I drove for another 20 miles, about 40 minutes, without incident. Then the engine cut out again-no warning, just all of a sudden I was unable to accelerate. …”

“Both the passenger's side and driver's side air bags deployed without the vehicle being involved in a collision or rolling over. Both driver's and passenger's ears were still ringing from the impact. Vehicle was towed to the dealer.”

“The contact owns a 2005 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that while exiting the vehicle, the front and rear curtain air bags deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 113,570.”
