A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Rear passenger wheel came off of 1995 ford aerostar ext van. The wheel included the rear brake drum and broke the axle, resulting in a crash into the highway median at 60MPH.
While driving 40MPH another vehicle hit consumer's vehicle on the front corner driver's side. It bent the frame, and airbags didn't deploy.
Our van was the first vehicle hit in a four car pile up. Our van and two other vehicles were stopped for a red light when struck. Our van sustained substancial enough damage both in front and behind to total it. The drivers air bag never deployed so I'm having to receive some physical therapy for neck injuries. I wonder if my air bag had deployed would I have had to go through these doctors appointments and therapy. Do I have any recourse? Dt
The vehicle was parked in the office parking lot. Suddenly a customer notified the consumer that there was a vehicle fire. The fire department extinguished the fire. The manufacture will make contact with the consumer for inspection.
Headlights go off and on. Use to only happen while on high beam. But is now doing it on low beam. This is the second ford I have owned to do this.
