general problems of the 2013 Ford Explorer

My vehicle was struck by a tractor trailer at 55-60 mph while sitting still. The impact caused my vehicle to spin and be embedded into the guardrail. None of the airbags deployed.

The whole front control interface module has gone out along with some functions of the apm. Just stopped all of a sudden. Turned key on and nothing worked. The airbag light has come on saying solid color. The rear tailgate will not open with the electronic power buttons. This all went out at one time. Is confirmed to be the fcim and amp. Is a safety hazard due to airbags, not known if will work and the inability to open rear tailgate. Other failures are climate control. Is stuck on high heat defrost in middle of wisconsin summer, but not a real safety issue but very inconvenient.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Explorer. The contact stated the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic retrieved dtc codes: b141b and bnr b141c. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.

Airbag is coming apart on passenger side.

Received a message on my dashboard " power assist fault", the steering was stiff and could not turn. Turn off the car for 10 minutes and the steering was functioning ok. Later in the afternoon, I was about to hit the gas pump as my steering went stiff again. Now am scared that this may cause accident.

The contact owned a 2013 Ford Explorer. While driving 25 mph, the air bags deployed without warning. As a result, the contact became unconscious and crashed into a front porch. A police report was filed. The driver sustained injuries to the face and nose, which required medical attention. The vehicle was towed and deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000.
