AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I AM SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT IN THE HOPES THAT I WILL GET SOME ANSWERS. HAVING JUST COME OFF THE INTERSTATE 40 ONTO OUR 14 ACRES, BOTH AIR BAGS IN A VEHICLE WE OWNED EXACTLY 23 DAYS, DEPLOYED - DESTROYING THE CAB INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK. I PHONED THE MANUFACTURER IMMEDIATELY AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. TWO MONTHS LATER, FOLLOWING AN ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS OF THE VEHICLE, FORD INFORMED ME THAT THE SENSORS REGISTERED THREE CRASHES AND THAT IT LOOKED AS IF THE RIGHT FENDER HAD BEEN REPLACED, THE RADIATOR SUPPORT WAS STILL BROKEN AND THE HEADLAMPS AND GRILL WERE LOOSE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS AND I AM REQUESTING INFORMATION AS TO WHAT WOULD CAUSE AN AIR BAG TO DEPLOY UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. I AM NOT IMPLYING OR PLACING RESPONSIBILITY WHEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION, I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING UNUSED SINCE JULY 21ST AND I AM AFRAID TO PLACE MY FAMILY IN ANY FURTHER JEOPARDY BASED ON THE DAMAGE TO THE CONTROLS AND INTERIOR. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I HAVE HAD TROUBLE THE LAS 6 MONTHS TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK AND IT ALL SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL IGNITION SYSTEMS. REPLACED IGNITION TWICE AND BIG BOX FOR ELECTRIC SWITCHING ON LEFT SIDE UNDER HOOD BY FIREWALL. IT STOPS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WON'T STAY RUNNING AND MY SONS 81 BRONCO IS DOING THE SAME THING ALSO. THE OIL PRESSURE IS REAL LOW IN TOWN WHEN I STOP AND START. THE TRUCK DIES AND WON'T START FOR A WHILE. I HAVE SPENT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW. RIGHT NOW THEY CAN'T GET MY SONS 81 BRONCO TO STAY RUNNING AND HAVEING TROUBLE GETTING IT TO START. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RECALL AND WHY DID FORD SKIMP ON MY FAVORITE VEHICLE. I NEVER HAD TROUBLE WITH MY 73 AND I DROVE IT FOR 15 YEARS. I WANT SOME ANSWERS. THANK YOU LEONA THOMASON. *AK (TIRESIZE: 16 INCH LT)
