Tl* the contact owned a 2007 ford f-150. While driving approximately 99 MPH, the vehicle struck an embankment and rolled over two and a half times. The air bags did not deploy. The driver was wearing a seat belt; however, he was ejected from the vehicle through the rear driver side window. The driver sustained fatal injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000. The VIN was unavailable.
On my 2007 ford f 150 sport I was involved in a crash. I struck a light pole on the side of the interstate on the right front bumper and the right front panel. After hitting the pole, I went down a hill and hit trees from there. It did more damage to the front of my truck yet still nothing from the airbags. It was enough force to crush the hood, and the entire right panel. The airbags didn't deploy and 1 person was seriously injured. From what I am reading, it take 18-20 lbs of pressure to have them deploy.
Shifter won't come out of parking. I have researched and many people have reported the same issue with ford f150. Service manager said shifter sensor was not working.
