| I am an owner of a 2002 ford explorer 2wd. at the beginning of october the vehicle starting making a horrible noise. the loud noise was coming from the rear passenger wheel. come to find out, this is a major wheel bearing issue. i have recently gotten online and discovered how many other people are also having the same issue. what can we do to get the ford company to be held responsible for this very dangerous defect in their product that you are supposed to trust not only your life but the lives of all your passengers. how can companies continue to sell their unsafe vehicles to the public. it is enough to have to worry about getting my 1 year old to and from her nana's without having to worry about getting hit by someone, but to worry that any moment your vehicle can cause a major accident without you even being at fault because of faulty parts. please, can someone with any kind of decency do something to get this company to recall every vehicle with faulty parts. common sense would say it's the right thing to do. *tr | |||

| I purchased a 2002 ford windstar 4 door van, and upon impact of crashmy front airbags did not deploy. this impact was at 50-55mph. i was told the reason my airbags did not deploy was due to my seatbelt lock which broke from the impact. also now my transmission is stalling after the repairs were made but they say no recalls have been made on this problem either, but according to my insurance company it is a problem not only with my vehicle but several other people have reported too. | |||

| 2002 explorer xlt purchased 1/03 with 37,995 miles. now only 39,996 i am disabled and don't drive much. had vehicle in due to warranty over 11/26/07 to check things over. when i picked up car air bag warning light flashing. though it was due to their work because it stopped. next time used vehicle light flashing then stayed on permanently. took to dealership and they claim it throws a code #b2292, they also said a bulletin out from ford on this #tsb03-11-03 issued to all mechanics - that the pretensioner safety harness both need to be replaced (defect). i advised them i will dispute this due to the fact they also stated ford may be doing a recall. i claim vehicle fine till they worked on it. part comes in tomorrow, they say it should be ready in a few hours, and cost is around $295.. plus taxes. also had to have a rebuilt trany done last yr. on the air bag light - i read all these complaints and i am shocked that ford has not issued a recall. this is nuts. what is scary is all the fire reports. *tr | |||
