ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
SPARK PLUGS RUSTED/SEIZED INTO THE CYLINDER HEAD CAUSING IT TO HAVE TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER FOR THE (RUSTED/BROKEN) SPARK PLUG REMAINS TO BE REMOVED. POOR DESIGN ALLOWS STANDING WATER TO ACCUMULATE AROUND THE SPARK PLUGS CAUSING THE RUSTED CONDITION. WHEN I NOTIFIED FORD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND INCLUDED PHOTOS OF THE RUSTED AND BROKEN SPARK PLUGS, I WAS TOLD SIMPLY THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND NO ADJUSTMENT, OR REIMBURSEMENT WOULD BE MADE FOR THE REPAIR. ADDITIONALLY, THE FACTORY INSTALLED SPARK PLUGS WERE NOT THE CORRECT ONES FOR THE ENGINE. THEY WERE EVEN TWO DIFFERENT PART NUMBERS. (I STILL HAVE THEM) FORD HAD NO COMMENT OR EXPLANATION FOR THIS AND HAS REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO TALK TO THEIR TECHNICAL EXPERTS/ENGINEERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.*AK

#767005September 11, 2002
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 9/2/02. I WAS NORTH BOUND ON HWY 52, A CAR IN THE SOUTH BOUND LANE OF HWY 52 LOST CONTROL AND SLID AND SPUN ACROSS THE GRASS MEDIAN AND HIT MY TRUCK IN THE LEFT FRONT CORNER TO CENTER LINE OF THE FRONT BUMPER. THE POINT OF IMPACT ON HIS CAR WAS LEFT REAR TIRE/WHEEL AND QUARTER PANEL AREA TO REAR BUMPER OF CAR (CAR WAS LEFT BROADSIDE TO ME). I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MPH PRIOR TO THE CRASH, AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. I DID HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TURNED OFF, BUT DUE TO THE SEVERETY OF THE COLLISION, I FEEL THE THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IF I HAD NOT BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND WINDSHIELD, WITH NO AIRBAG TO PROTECT ME FROM INJURY.*AK
