    I have my air bag light on my dash, and my emergency lights do not work. This car is too young to have such problems. My passenger back seat belt case is broken as well.

    Arm rests for driver's seat too far from seat, especially on the left, and provide no support. Not a problem for local driving but on long trips causes arm fatigue. *kb

    Lear corporation and ford already knew that a spacer/washer was left off the explorer by three rotating lear employees on the night shift. These employees were not penalized in any way. The shift stinks of nepotism and every other eoe/eeo misdeed. Other employees, not meeting numbers(not quality issues) are being walked out. This lear facility, in hammond, indiana, receives a $5000 federal tax credit for each new w2…
