Six problems related to air bag have been reported for the 1999 Ford Mustang. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Ii was putting my car in park and the air bags inflated and to gas like smell came from the bags.
It was late summer, close to early fall 2017. My two sons, ages 17 and 15, had just gotten out of football practice and were getting into the 1999 Mustang to come home. (my 17 year old son, matthew, had been driving for quite awhile, and had no traffic infractions or violations yet either, nor does he now. He has beem a careful driver. ) they were driving very slowly, as they had just exited their parking spot, and then proceeded ahead, and while driving in very slow motion went over a small bump or node, or barely anything, in the enumclaw high school parking lot. The airbags both blew out suddenly, slightly injuring my 15 year old son's hand, and blinding and pushing them both backward in their seats. Both of them jumped out of the car immediately, very scared. They had been driving very slowly, so were able to stop suddenly do this and still safely enough to immediately get out. Many of the football boys were watching, as they were driving right by them, and everyone broke out in emotion. One witness claimed that it caused the wheels to lift off the ground. They drove home that day, with airbags out, but since they have quite driving the car, as it appears to be illegal to drive it without airbags. Now we don't know what to do about this situation, and we are left feeling short of one of our necessary vehicles. Since there was not actually an accident that set off the airbags, and the car is minimally insured, we don't know what to do about it. Note: I am not sure about the exact date, but it is close.
The vehicle was involved in a frontal collision while driving at 35 mph. None of the air bags deployed upon impact. The driver sustained injuries to there neck. The vehicle is currently at the dealership. The cause of the none deployment of the air bag isn't available at this time.
Airbag failed to inflate even though I was struck at the front of the vehicle by someone going over 40miles per hour.
While pulling into a parking place driver turned off ignition, and both frontal airbags deployed.
Consumer states she was involoved in an accident in which there was a great amount of damage done to the front and airbags did not experience deployment. Nlm.
