general problems of the 2003 Ford Explorer

Vehicle was in motion, moving through an intersection on a city street and involved in an accident. No air bags deployed at all.

I lost control around a ben going 35mph after it got done raining and got in an accident hit a telephone pole and farm post after spinning about 4xs car is totaled air bags never went off.

I was driving in minus 20 degree celsius to take highway 15 north from just after panama bus station. In the entrance, my car start to slow down to the 5 kmph. In the back of my cars were all on their hazard light and being mad at me. So I drive back to my home taking the next exit. I wish somebody could take the videos and sent to the Ford company to let them know my situation.

My fiancé and I put our 10 month old and our 8 year old in the seatbelts and I got in the car (I am pregnant) and shut my door and my fiancé got in and shut his door and the curtain airbags went off and the back airbags. We were in park at the time. There was not reason for the airbags to deploy. I only had liability insurance so they won't pay anything. I called the Ford dealer (who I just bought a $50,000 2015 Ford Explorer from him January 2015) and he said I could call the service desk who was no help. Stated there is no recall. Anyone I can call? this is crazy and dangerous!!!!.

My daughter and her fiancé and put their 10 month old and their 8 year old in the seatbelts and my daughter got in the car (she is pregnant) and shut her door and her fiancé got in and shut his door and the curtain airbags went off and the back airbags. They were in park at the time. There was not reason for the airbags to deploy. They only had liability insurance so they won't pay anything. I called the Ford dealer (who I just bought a $50,000 2015 Ford Explorer from him January 2015) and he said I could call the service desk who was no help. Stated there is no recall. Anyone I can call? this is crazy and dangerous!!!!.

In the early morning hours of December 11, I was driving to work when without warning both side curtain air bags deployed. There were no cars behind me and there were no oncoming traffic so I was able to pull off the road without incident. Upon inspection there was no damage anywhere to the vehicle. As of now there is no reason why they deployed.

Front end accident did not deploy driver airbag,however passenger airbag deployed with no occupant in seat.

The contact owns a 2003 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that while traveling 5 mph, the side curtain air bags deployed inadvertently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to determine what caused the air bag deployment. The manufacturer stated would provide no assistance. The failure and current mileage was 125,000.

Travel approximately 55 miles per hour southbound on sr-99 both the left and right side head curtain airbags deployed for no reason while I was driving with my 2 year old daughter and 3 month old son, both in appropriate child safety seats. The vehicle was not hit, I did not swerve, nor step on the breaks. Nothing occurred in the vehicle to warrant or cause the airbags to deploy. The force of the airbags struck my head causing head and neck pain, but more importantly it could have caused an accident or even death had I swerved and it caused an accident with another vehicle or caused my vehicle to crash out of control.

I have a 2003 Ford Explorer. I had stopped and was waiting for a mail carrier to finish putting mail in a mailbox when I was rear-ended. The other driver hit me at high speed. I was subsequently pushed into the mail carrier's vehicle---even though he tried unsuccessfully to get out of the way. I don't believe I hit the mail carrier at high speed, but still it did cause damage to the back bumper of his vehicle and light damage to my front bumer. The truck then rear-ended me again due to his speed and inability to stop. Neither air bag in the front of my vehicle deployed. My vehicle was totaled due to the damage from the rear-end hit. The only door on my vehicle that opened correctly was the front passenger door. My seat on the front is apparently broke and laying flat. The cargo area was pushed into the third seat, the third seat into the second seat, etc. . . I'm not sure if the airbags should have deployed or not. But, if they should have this really needs to be looked into. I believe my injuries would not have been as severe if the airbags had deployed. I have what I guess may be classic whiplash type injuries. Back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain; as well as, my elbow was hurt; and both wrist from trying to grab the steering wheel to prevent myself from being thrown into the steering column or windshield during the second hit from the rear. Anything you can tell me that will help with these questions? I am being asked by other people that know about the wreck why the airbags did not deply.

Intermittent problems of getting the 2003 Ford Explorer vehicle to start. After an hour or so vehicle would start up as if there was never a problem. This incident happened more than 4 times in the past.

While driving and without warning a loud clinking noise can be heard. The dealer is aware of the problem. Squeeling noise from motor. Transmission lurched and would not engage. Transmission and transfer case had to be flushed. Replace steering shaft for clinking noise. Clockspring replaced.
