Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2004 Ford Expedition

I was driving about 35 - 40 mph down spacecenter blvd and without warning and for no reason my side airbags suddenly deployed.

Was driving down interstate highway and a car next to me swerve sideways into my lane right into my path had nowhere to go. My car left front side of my vehicle and center struck the other vehicles right side. My passengers side airbag went off but my drivers side did not. There was no passenger in my front seat.

In heavy local traffic when traffic came to a sudden stop. Applied brakes but was unable to stop in time. Rear-ended a Dodge ram pickup truck. Passenger side air bag deployed but driver side did not deploy. Suffered neck and back soft tissue injuries. Expedition was totaled by insurance company. Information supplied by legal representative.

I was driving down a main street when a car comes out from a residential street infront of me, I had no braking distance time but still hit my brakes and veered to the right trying to make it into the residential street the car came out of to miss hitting the car, but instead hit the corner wall at 45mph. The passenger side air bag deployed but mine did not resulting in head injury. My head hit the windshield so hard I kept blacking out, luckily my 1yr old passenger (my son) only had red marks on his neck from the car seat straps.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford Expedition. While the unoccupied vehicle was parked with the engine in operation, both front driver and passenger side air bags deployed unexpectedly without any impact to the vehicle. The contact entered the vehicle and turned the engine off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where both air bags were replaced at the owner's expense. The manufacturer was made aware of the defect. The failure mileage was 80,000.

My wife drove her 2004 Ford Expedition over a speed bump in a county park when the side curtain airbags deployed.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford Expedition. While the contact was driving approximately 30 mph, the side curtain air bags inadvertently deployed on all four doors without impact. There was no personal injury. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician informed that the complete air bag system would need to be replaced at the cost of $4,214. 65. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 67,454.

My side curtain air bags deployed for no reason. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer and they said they could not do anything about it because it is out of warranty. The 5 year safety restraint warranty ended a 1 month ago. The service manager inspected the vehicle and ran a diagnostic test and said there is no reason they should have gone off. They are lucky my wife was only in a parking lot when it happened or somebody might have been killed. The service manager said he was in touch with detroit and they said not to fix it. I have owned several Fords and never had any problems but this is just stupid.

While I was driving down the interstate with a family member and some friends both side curtain airbags deployed simultaneously for no reason. It was like a gun went off next to our ears. Due to the odor and dust in the vehicle we rolled down our windows to avoid inhaling the powdery substance. I am amazed we didn't wreck. We were traumatized by the intensity of the incident. Many of us had ringing in our ears for sometime and I had chest pains for the rest of the evening. Words really cannot describe how terrifying it was. We tried to figure out what may have been the reason for the deployment. There was no reason whatsoever that gave cause to the deployment. There were no other cars around us, we didn't bump into anything nor did anything bump into us. It scared me so bad that I had my husband and son come pick me up from a friends house because I was afraid the front airbag might go off and didn't want to take that risk.

While driving on smooth paved road, pow!! side curtain airbags on passenger and driver side deployed. I did not swerve, hit a pothole or any type of impact they just popped out and scared me to death! I have had the vehicle towed to local Ford dealership where car was purchased. I have not heard back from them yet.

Both roof air bags inadvertently deployed while driving on the highway at 65 mph, under normal weather/driving conditions. The cruise control was engaged when the failure occurred. The cruise control disengaged its' self several times prior to the failure. Took the vehicle to the dealer, where they tucked the air bags, and the consumer continued to travel. Manufacturer stated they will repair if a defect is found. Cruise control did not work at times on the consumers vehicle.
