I was driving my 2003 Lincoln Ford Navigator on July 3rd at approximately 3pm down us highway 52 near springfield south dakota on a flat stretch of dry road going approximately 55 miles per hour. For no apparent reason our airbags from the passenger and drivers side roof deployed with an explosion. In addition to almost wrecking the vehicle my son and niece and myself all received impact burns on our faces (not sure if it was from the explosion or the bags themselves) and hearing problems that have carried over to today (July 4th). If we would have been on any other stretch of road except flat-land I believe we would have upset and all been killed or injured severely. The airbags activated for no reason whatsoever. . . I think this needs check out because if it becomes an issue with this particular model lives will certainly be lost. Highly dangerous . . I'm surprised we survived it.

On Sunday June 27th 2010 at approx. 4:30 pm. My wife and 2 children were traveling to palm springs on the east bound 10 fwy in banning when, for no reason the side curtain airbags went off hitting myself and my 7 year old. I was able to remain in control of our 2003 Lincoln Navigator, and pull to the center median as I though maybe we were hit by something. As I looked around the Navigator, there was absolutely no sign of damage or being hit by any kind of debris. I had to cut the airbags away to see and get to a safer place to check on my crying children. I was relieved that they were not injured visually, but we are having there ears checked for damage from the load noise. We dropped the vehicle off to our local dealer and they said that the crash sensor went off and that we should contact our insurance. Our insurance said it is a manufactures malfunction and to contact the head quarters of Ford and Lincoln. After the run around there, they said it was an insurance issue because the crash code was signaled. We are now on the hook for $3500-4000 for repairs and feel that it was either the crash sensor malfunction or the airbag sensor malfunction. The dealer will not repair because the crash code and the insurance does not want to open claim because there was not an accident. This is very dangerous and I feel if it was not for the child seat deflection some of the airbag, my 3 year old would sustained injuries. Ford-Lincoln does not want to deal with issue.

While driving down the highway at 70 mph, the side airbag curtains in our 2004 Lincoln Navigator deployed for no reason.

The dealership insists that we hit something and chooses not to repair it. Instead, we were told that we had to pay for it; $6,000. 00.
