AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
AIR BAG LIGHT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE PARTS TO FIX THE FRONT AIR BAGS WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE FRONT AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY SINCE THE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ON. *AK THE PART CAME IN AND THE DEALER REPLACED IT YET THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
WHEN USING THE HEADLINER-MOUNTED DVD SYSTEM SCREEN, VISIBILITY THROUGH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS COMPLETELY OBSCURED. WHEN REPORTED TO FORD AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS TOLD VIA MY DEALER THAT THE FORD ENGINEERS SAID TO USE MY SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. THIS SEEMS HIGHLY INADEQUATE WHEN THE VAN IS SOLD BASED ON ITS ENHANCED SAFETY FEATURES. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE WINDSTAR, AND IN MY OPINION, IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS DUE TO INADEQUATE VISIBILITY. *LA
