Well the passenger side in front seat seat belt needs replaced due to getting stuck after front airbags in dash and steering wheel after deployment from barley tapping a vehicle in front of the truck.
My son was driving down the main street in our town going the speed limit, crossed over the railroad crossing and both airbags deployed even though there had been no collision or impact other than the small bump of the railroad crossing. Thankfully, it did not cause him to lose control of the vehicle. The impact of the airbag did slightly injure his wrist, he did not seek medical treatment. The horn blew continuously until he unhooked it. However the truck was fully drivable immediately, so he called us asking what to do and we had him drive it home. There was no wreck or any kind of impact that should have made the airbags deploy. The truck is in the same working order that it was previously except for both front airbags are deployed. The airbags have never been tampered with that we are aware of. We are not the original owners of the truck, however. This incident was reported to our insurance company.
Horn cruise control not working started when driving down the road in town.

Air bag recall.
I purchased this vehicle for my son 3 years ago. On Monday evening, June 17th, he was going around a curve, at approximately 35 mph when both air bags deployed for no reason. The vehicle has never been wrecked and there is no damage, or no reason for this to have happened. I contacted Ford motor company and was told, "his truck VIN is not listed in the previous recalls, so we cannot offer any assistance. It is past warranty. " I was quite taken aback by the fact that the vehicle not being under warranty was a reason for such a dangerous thing to happen! someone could have been killed had he been on the interstate, etc.
Traveling at 40mph. Hit at the front right fender. Shearing off tire at ball joints. . . Causing truck to slam down on the ground and slide at least 75 feet on the frame. . No air bag deployed. I was injured and think if the airbag would have come out maybe my injuries wouldn't have occurred.
The contact owns a 2003 Ford f150. While driving 40 mph the driver lost control of the vehicle and rear-ended another vehicle. The airbags in her vehicle deployed immediately; however, as it deflated all of the particles inside the airbag exploded. The driver was startled by the air bag failure. The contact is aware of the risk involved during the air bag explosion. Updated 09/15/08 updated 09/22/08.
