This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle was involved in a collision wherein it "T-boned" a vehicle stopped across a roadway at 60mph. I was traveling straight in the left lane of a divided highway. The steering hub airbag did not deploy, and the shoulder harness did not prevent me from striking the steering wheel hub, which failures resulted in breaking my sternum. I also received a whiplash.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-150. The contact inquired about a recall for brake failure. While driving 40 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and it extended to the floorboard. As a result, the contact rear ended another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The entire front end of the vehicle was damaged and the vehicle was not driveable. The vehicle was towed back to the contact's residence. The contact filed a complaint with Ford motors and was advised to call NHTSA. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000.
Takata recall I was involved in an accident while driving my 2017 Ford F150 on December 20, 2017. The driver air bag curtain deployed and trapped my head down against my left shoulder. The bag did not deflate, so I was forced to retrieve my knife from my belt and cut the bag open. The contents of the bag quickly filled the cab with white powdery smoke which I inhaled. I now have rough breathing while inhaling. I have been to my doctor and was prescribed azithromycin 250mg pak tab teva. This was a temporary cure, but the rough breathing is again present. Please provide the propellant name in these airbags, so I will know how to treat my problem.
For the second time in two months, I have had to return the vehicle to the dealer because a hose comes off the air bag. This causes an alarm and causes the passenger air bags to fail. This chronic failure puts the passenger at risk any time it decides to fail. If the driver does note the small light, they could operate for years with no passenger protection. This should be permanently fixed. Twice in two months is a chronic failure and may be a design flaw.. it makes no difference, it is that way moving, standing still or idling.
Dakota traveling 50-55 mph on interstate 95 hit Ford traveling 20 mph near exit ramp causing Ford to hit Cadillac traveling 10mph causing Cadillac to hit murano, resulting in 4 car accident. 2017 Ford took brunt of hits due to speed of Dakota. 2017 Ford deemed totaled. Airbags on 2017 Ford did not deploy, though sensors appeared activated--see photos that show lights on. All interviewed at bodyshop, insurance adjuster etc. Don't understand why air bag didn't deploy considering the speed of hit from behind and the force of hits on both sides, damage, and sensors activated.
