FORD AIR BAG Complaints

I HAVE A 2002 FORD ESCAPE, MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH 66,000 MILES ON IT. COMING HOME FROM A WEEKEND TRIP THE CLUTCH STUCK AND WOULD HAVE TO BE PULLED UP WITH YOUR FOOT WHEN HAVING TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND CALL FOR ASSISTANCE AND TOWING TO A GARAGE WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD WENT OUT.THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS WAS VERY UNUSUAL FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO A CAR THIS NEW. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THIS?

REPEAT OF A SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. THIS IS THE THIRD FAILURE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS 1996 FORD WINDSTAR (PURCHASED 1999). IT COST ME OVER $400 IN 1999 TO REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER HEAD AND NOW IT IS FAILING IN THE SAME MANNER - THE NEEDLE BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE UNTIL IT JUST PEGS OUT AT THE FAR RIGHT. I SUBMITTED MY LAST COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM IN DECEMBER, 2002 - REF#786265. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERS, PRIVATE REPAIR SHOPS AND EVEN YOUR AGENCY THAT THERE ARE OBVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH FORD SPEEDOMETERS BUT THERE HAS YET BEEN ANY ASSISTANCE OFFERED BY FORD. A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF A VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO WAY I SHOULD BE ON MY THIRD ONE AT 113,000 MILES (WITH A NEW ENGINE AND SUPERB MAINTENANCE RESORDS)! NOTE: IT IS NOT THE AIRBAG SWITCH THAT I HAVE ISSUES WITH AS IT SHOWS IN THE EQUIPMENT SECTION. I COULD NOT FIND THE RIGHT OPTIONS UNDER EQUIPMENT FOR A SPEEDOMETER.

WHEN CHANGING THE REAR TIRE OF MY 2004 F150 ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE JACK GAVE WAY AND PINNED ME UNDER THE REAR AXLE. THIS IS THE FACTORY APPROVED JACK THAT COMES WITH THE TRUCK. MY BROTHERS DID THE SAME THING WHILE CHANGING HIS TIRE AS WELL AS A E150 WE OWNED.

I WENT TO INSURT MY KEY INTO THE STARTED AND MY CAR WOULD NOT TURNOVER AFTER THE WRONG KEY WAS PARTLY INSURTED, I THOUGHT THAT THAT PATS SYSTEM TRIPPED, BUT AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE FURTHER, I REALISED THAT NUMERIOUS PEOPLE AHVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH FORD FOCUSES, THAT THEIR IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THIS PART OF THE CAR, I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY 300 DOLLARS OR MORE TO FIX A KNOWN ISSUE FROM FORD.

ON FEBRUARY 4, 2004, I PARKED MY FORD FOCUS MINI-WAGON IN FORNT OF MY HOME, AT EVENING HOURS A RESIDENT FROM THE BLDG. I RESIDE IN KNOCKED ONMY DOOR TELLING THAT MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE.THE NEIGHBOR CALLED FIRE DEPT FOR ME AS I RAN TO MY CAR THE FIRE DEPT. WAS ALREADY THERE TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES. THE FIRMEN HAD INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, THAT I SHOULD CONSULT WITH THE DEALER. I MADE A POLICE REPORT, I TOOK PHOTOS OF MY CAR, I CALLED THE GOLF MILL FORD DEALER IN NILES ILL. I SPOKE WITH THE SALE MANAGER AND SERVICE MECHANIC, THEY BOTH STATED THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO CONTACT MY CAR INSURANCE. I CONTACTED MY CAR INSURANCE AND THE CONSULTANT INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT I DO NOT NEED TO CONTACT THEM, I NEED TO CONTACT THE DEALER. SO, BASICALLY THEY HAD ME CALLING BACK AND FORTH. ABOUT 6 DAYS LATER THE DEALER HAD TOOKEN MY CAR TO THERE MECHANICS AND THEY HAD REBUILD IT WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW AND THEY SOLD IT. NOW, THEY WANT ME TO CONTINUE PAYING THE PAYMENTS. I WAS FAITHFUL TO THEM IN ALL THE ASPECT OF THE LEASE AND PAYMENTS. BUT THEY COULDN'T BE FAITHFUL TO ME AT ALL. I FEEL THEY HAD DRISCIMINATED ME,THEY DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS, THEY SENT ME A LETTER INFORMING ME THAT THEY APAOLOGIZE FOR WHAT HAPPEN. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL CONSUMER AFFAIRS, I DID EXACTLY THAT, THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO MY CASE EVER SINCE. I WANT MY MONEY RETURN BACK TO ME, I PAID THESE PEOPLE FOR 1 YEAR IN A HALF OF PAYMENTS. I TRIED CALLING SO MANY ATTORNEYS TO HELP ME AND NO ONE WANTS TO HELP ME. IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT CAN, I AM IN DESPERATE IN NEED OF HELP WITH THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED ON 1996 THUNDERBIRD IN 2000. IT IS NOW CRACKED, AND AFTER SPENDING 550.00 TO FIND THAT OUT, THERE IS NOTHING FORD WILL DO EVEN THOUGH IT IS ON CAMPAIGN (97M91). NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CAR.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT RESTRAINT (SHOLDER HARNESS) DOESN'T FUNCTION. 1990 FORD PROBE LX. WAS ISSUE OF A RECALL IN 1996. SUBJECT RESTRAINT HAS FAILED THREE TIMES SINCE PURCHASE OF CAR. FIRST REPAIR WAS UNDER VEHICLE WARRANTY. SECOND REPAIR TOOK PLACE PRIOR TO RECAL AND WAS PAID FOR BY OWNER. THIRD FAILURE HAS OCCURED WITHING THE LAST YEAR AND LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
