What owners wrote
Last night I hit a deer going 70 miles per hr. On the highway. My leg airbags deployed but my steering wheel did not only the clips came out. Due to knee airbags I have huge bruises on both legs. I feel that the steering wheel has a defective airbag since it did not deploy. If I had hit a tree instead of a deer its possible I would not be here to file this it did not protect me at all.
Trunk opens randomly while driving. No buttons are pushed, opens on its own while moving, even at speeds of 65MPH. This is a recurring issue that has been going on for 2 months, and has been reported to the auto dealer (bob hurley ford in tulsa, oklahoma. Currently has 86,000 miles on vehicle, purchased new. Will put the last date it has happened, because this is not a one time issue.
