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.

TIRE HAS A BULGE IN ONE-HALF OF THE TREAD APPROXIMATELY 16 INCHES LONG. I NOTICED THE TRUCK STEERING OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE THE TIRE BEFORE IT BURST. I STILL HAVE THE TIRE AND IT HOLDS AIR BUT I INTEND TO REPLACE ALL MY TIRES WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. SINCE IT HASN'T FAILED I THOUGHT IT MAY BE VALUABLE TO YOU FOR CLOSE SCRUTINY. I ALSO HAVE DIGITAL PHOTOS IF YOU LIKE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK BECAUSE THE TIRE WILL BE DISCARDED. THANK YOU.

TIRES
THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY. THE TREAD CAME OFF AND THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE TO REPLACE THE TIRE--THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THE TIME. THE SECOND TIME, 2 WEEKS AGO, THE TIRE TREAD WHIPPED AROUND INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL AND WRECKED MY FENDER AND RUNNING BOARD. I ALMOST GOT RUN OFF THE ROAD AND CAME CLOSE TO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I THEN PURCHASED 4 NEW MICHELIN TIRES FOR SAFETY SAKE. I CALLED FIRESTONE AND THEIR "CUSTOMER SERVICE " SAID THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AS THESE TIRES AREN'T UNDER RECALL!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE TIRES---PEOPLE WILL GET HURT AND/OR KILLED WITH THEM!!!!! THANK YOU. P.S. AFTER REVIEWING THIS, WE TYPED 0 PEOPLE WERE INJURED OR KILLED, BUT YOUR SYSTEM PUTS IN A NUMBER????*AK (TIRESIZE: LT26575R16)

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
ON JANUARY 30, 2001 OUR VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A ONE CAR COLLISION WITH A BRIDGE OVERPASS CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS TO OUR TRUCK. THIS WAS MAINLY A FRONT IMPACT WITH COLLATORAL DAMAGE TO THE REST OF THE TRUCK. MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, OUR SON WAS IN A REAR SEAT AND ALL WERE WEARING OUR SEATBELTS. LUCKILY FOR US THE SEATBELTS DID THEIR JOB AND OUR ONLY INJURIES WERE RELATED TO THE SEAT BELTS HOLDING US IN PLACE. ALTHOUGH THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WAS HEAVILY DAMAGED NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. SINCE THERE WERE NOT SERIOUS INJURIES WE WERE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. MY NAGGING CONCERN WAS WHAT IF WE HAD NEEDED THEM? THAT IS WHY I'VE DECIDED TO REPORT AT THIS TIME PLUS WE RECEIVED NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM FORD THAT THEY ARE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU.
