Three problems related to air bag have been reported for the 2001 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Was t-boned in the passenger side of the truck which changed my direction of travel resulting in hitting a tree head on. Neither frontal air bags deployed. The frontal impact was hard enough to push the tree 18 to 20 inches into the engine compartment bending the frame where the front bumper was attached. The accident resulted in a fatality. I'm just confused why neither air bag deployed. I have had this truck since it was new so I know it's history. There was not any warnings lights on, no air bag warning lights, no modifications were ever done to the truck. All stock. There was never any indication that the air bags were not operating normal. So why did they malfunction?.
I was traveling at approximately 50 mph in my Ford f250 when a Chevrolet minivan crossed the center line and hit me head on. The van's airbags deployed, however mine did not. Ford motor company's opinion on this is they should not have gone off, but they will not inspect the vehicle. The vehicle is under factory warranty and has not been involved in any prior collisions. Ford is also unwilling to provide any written documentation that the airbags are in proper working condition unless I cover all expenses incurred in such an inspection. The vehicle repair shop owner experience provides indication that the airbags in my vehicle most certainly should have deployed. This is also the opinion of the investigating state patrol officer.
Air bags failed to go off during roll over accident for Ford f250 (2001 crew cab 4dr).
