STEERING WHEEL WONT LOCK WHEN I TURN OFF THE ENGINE DON'T KNOW IF ITS PART OF A RECALL AND DIDN'T FIX IT RIGHT... BRAKE LIGHT WHEN I STEP HARD ON BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON FOR FEW SECONDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON VEHICLE WHEN OPENING DOOR, TOOK TO PRIVATE SHOP AND DEALER FUTURE FORD OF ROSEVILLE AND BOTH STATES IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. CALLED FORD ON THEIR TOLL FREE NUMBER AND STATED SINCE IT'S NOT A NTSB RECALL THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO FIX. ERROR IS THAT TENSIONER SPRING OR/AND CANISTER IN TENSIONER IS OVER SENSITIVE AND WILL LIKELY FAIL AND CAUSE A HIGH OHM READING TO THE COMPUTER, CAUSING ERROR LIGHT ON, TO BLINK 3-3 FOR DRIVER SIDE OR 3-4 FOR PASSENGER, AND DISABLING AIRBAGS. DEALERSHIP IS BACK LOGGED ON ORDERS FOR NEW SEATBELT ASSEMBLIES, THAT IN SOME CASES MAY TAKE OVER TWO WEEKS FOR ORDER TO CLEAR. ASSEMBLIES ARE FAULTY BY DESIGN. NTSB SHOULD INVESTIGATE FORD AND MAKE A MANDATORY RECALL FOR THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS AND MULTIPLE YEARS THAT USE THIS ASSEMBLY TYPE, SINCE THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY RISK, AND A DESIGN FAULT.
