Three problems related to air bag have been reported for the 1996 Ford Windstar. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On June 7 I was outside of our home and noticed I smelled gas near my wife's van. After inspecting I saw the tank was leaking fuel. I took the tank off and noticed there was pressure to the tank from the front strap. The pressure caused what appears to be a stress crack where the strap holds the tank. It appears to me the strap is too small for the tank. Ford refuses to fix this and would rather my wife and children ride around in a gas leaking danger machine. This vehicle has less than 95000 miles and I feel the same problem has occurred here as in the 1995 Windstar.
Vehicle collision occurred and the air bag had violent deployment, injuring the driver.
Violent deployment of air bags caused burn injury.
