THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAFETY ACT. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 2002 FORD EXPLORER AND MERCURY MONTAINEER SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THE BRACKETS CONNECTING THE LEFT CYLINDERS TO EACH SIDE OF THE LIFTGATE GLASS COULD ROTATE OUT OF POSITION IF EITHER THE URETHANE BOND OR TORQUE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT.
ROTATION OF THE BRACKETS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE LIFT CYLINDERS TO DETACH FROM THE GLASS OR, IN SOME CASES, COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE LIFTGATE GLASS TO BREAK. EITHER CONDITION IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN THE GLASS IS BEING CLOSED.
FORD DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR THE POSITION OF BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT LIFTGATGE GLASS LIFT CYLINDER BRACKETS. IF THE BRACKETS ARE IN THE PROPER POSITION, THE BRACKET RETAINERS WILL BE TIGHTENED TO A HIGHER TORQUE. IN CASES WHERE THE BRACKET IS NOT PROPERLY POSITION, THE BRACKET MUST BE RE-ALIGNED.

MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT IN MY 2002 FORD EXPLORER WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF US. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH PRIOR TO SLAMMING ON MY BRAKES. THE EMS DRIVER ESTIMATED IMPACT AT 40 MPH. MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED $6600+ IN DAMAGES TO THE FRONT END. NEITHER THE DRIVER NOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE EMS DRIVER AND THE WRECKER SAID GIVEN THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE EMS DRIVER ALSO SAID IT WAS TYPICAL OF A FORD TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS MALFUNCTION. I SUSTAINED NECK AND LOW BACK INJURIES INCLUDING DAMAGE TO 4 DISC IN MY SPINE ACCORDING TO THE MRI REPORT. MY DAUGHTER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER RIGHT SHOULDER, RADIOLOGICAL TESTING IS SCHEDULED FOR LATER THIS MONTH TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF HER PAIN AND LOSS OF MOTION. SHE HAS ALSO SUFFERED WITH LOW BACK PAIN. I ASKED THE MECHANIC RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS ON MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ABOUT THE AIR BAGS AND WAS NOT GIVEN MUCH OF AN ANSWER. HE BASICALLY SAID THE DAMAGE DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH INTO THE ENGINE AREA FOR THE SENSORS TO PICK UP THE CRASH. GIVEN THE DAMAGE TO MY FRONT END AND THE NEED FOR REPLACEMENT OF MULTIPLE PARTS UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR AND THE INJURIES SUSTAINED I DID NOT FIND THIS TO BE AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER.*AK

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT BUT ITS WORTH A SHOT. MY MOTHER OWNED A 2002 FORD EXPLORER SPORT. MY BROTHER WAS DRIVING IT HOME TO KANSAS CITY FROM ST. LOUIS MISSOURI. THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT, THE ROADWAYS WERE PERFECT, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, HE WASN'T SPEEDING. HOWEVER, HE DROVE OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, OVER CORRECTED IT TO GAIN CONTROL AND FISH-TAILED. WITNESSES SAY THAT IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD CONTROL AGAIN AND THEN IT ROLLED, KILLING HIM. HIM AND THE PASSENGER WERE BOTH WEARING SEAT BELTS; HOWEVER, THE TOP CRUSHING HIM IN IS WHAT KILLED HIM. THESE VEHICLES LIKE OTHER SUV'S HAVE A HIGH ROLL-OVER RATE YET PEOPLE KEEP BUYING THEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PREVENT ANY OTHER FAMILIES FROM EXPERIENCING THIS TRAGEDY. NOW OBVIOUSLY WHATEVER HAPPENS WON'T BRING ME BACK MY BROTHER BUT I'D HATE TO SEE THIS HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. WHY CAN'T THE TOPS BE MADE OUT OF A DIFFERENT MATERIAL? SOMETHING THAT MAKES THEM NOT TOP HEAVY AND SOMETHING THAT WON'T BUCKLE IF IT DOES ROLL? OR WHY NOT TAKE THEM OFF THE MARKET? I KNOW THAT IS A LITTLE DRASTIC SINCE WE KNOW THE DANGER BUT WE KEEP BUYING THEM, ITS KIND OF LIKE SMOKING A CIGARETTE. I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK MY VOICE IN HOPES WE CAN PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE. *LA
