I have a 2003 Ford Expedition. I keep getting my spark plugs fixed and the just keep blowing out on my engine creating my engine light to come on and my SUV sounds like a mac truck. This is unsafe for me and my children. We like to travel I purchased this car because I have several children and we can all fit in it. I like the truck but this is a major issue that continues and is not free.
A lady pulled out in front of our 2003 Ford Expedition causing an automobile accident. The day was clear, the weather was warm. My wife hit her monte carlo doing approximately 45 mph. After hitting the ladies car, both vehicles went off the road into the trees. Our car hit a rather large pine tree. With both of these major impacts, totaling both cars, none of the air bags deployed, and my wife's seat belt failed to lock. The front of our car was hit on both the front right and front left corners. We are depending and paying for these safety, it is not acceptable that they don't operate when needed. Photos are available.
Vehicle was involved in a front impact collision while driving approximately 65 mph and rolled over. Upon impact neither air bag deployed. The consumer did not contact dealer.
While sitting in a parking lot the driver air bag deployed in my 2003 Expedition. I hit nothing and nothing hit me. I called Ford they had the vehicle towed to a dealer who told me he couldn't replace the bag for three days. I could either stay in texas or cut the air bag off and drive the vehicle another eight hundred miles to home. I carried it to a dealer in birmingham and they kept it for three weeks. I'm still not sure why the bag deployed. When the bag deployed it hit me so hard it injured my left arm and my neck, I had to go to the doctor and am still taking anti inflammatory medicine.
