Charles J P, a few points.#1 The air bags on your mom's Explorer are NOT supposed to deploy unles you hit something with the front end hard. #2 Your parents should have the vehicle maintained by a dealer not "family friends". #3 The Explorer/Firestone debacle was a Firestone debacle. More Explorers rolled over because there are alot more of them on the road than any other SUV. Judged rightly,rollovers per 10,000 vehicles or per 1,000,000 miles driven Explorers rollover at a LESSER rate than the over all industry average for SUV's but that doesn't sell newspapers so you don't hear that side of the story.
