What owners wrote
Driver side airbag did not deploy on a frontal crash. My daughter was driving hwy 583 in wilkinson county ,mississippi when the vehicle went off the pavement striking two large trees.
10 outside. Started my truck and couldn't open the drivers door from the inside. Roll down the window to open the latch for the outside. Door wouldn't close. The latch in the door wouldn't work. It wouldn't click. Couldn't lock the door. Drove with the door unable to close to the local 'non-ford' shop and they said to warranty it at ford. I drove an hour to ford in reno with ratchet straps holding the doors together. Problem wouldn't duplicate in reno (30) in reno.
