What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford explorer. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy and the seat belt failed to retract. The contact sustained serious injuries to the chest that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.
The passenger side seat belt in the second row refused to latch while the vehicle was stationary or in motion. The dealership stated that it was not covered under our warranty. The sun/moon roof has leaked on several occasions causing me to pay out of pocket for repairs. The repair shop indicated that we should blow air into the tubes to keep them clear even though we always park in the garage and at work there are no trees around the parking lot to have anything be able to get into the drain tubes.
