2001 f150 airbags failed to deploy. *ts
2001 f150 clock spring was repaired. The malfunction prevented the horn and cruise control from working properly. *ts it also caused a disruption of power to the air bag module thus preventing deployment in the event of a crash. The vehicle's warranty was for 60 months/75000 miles. At the time of repair the vehicle only had 60299 miles yet the warranty had expired ten days earlier. A month before the failure the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the ford recall repair of the cruise control. The consumer inquired about the air bag and horn at that time and was told that the problem was unrelated to the recall. The consumer was also told to return with the truck at a later time because they didn't have time to repair that item right then.
Dt*: the contact stated both frontal airbags deployed, without an accident, while pulling slowly out of the driveway at 25mph. Shortly after the deployment the driver side airbag erupted in flames.

The insurance agency determined the deployment was caused by a manufacturing defect. The manufacturer only referred the contact to the insurance company. The airbags were removed by the contact and vehicle is currently being used "as is."

A person pulled out on me from my right. I hit their front drivers side. More than a foot of my frame was sticking out from the front of my truck. Hood folded. Drivers door jammed shut, dash pushed towards me.my airbags never came out. My truck was considered a total loss. The state trooperrs, county constable,ems personel and wrecker drivers all told me I was very fortunate to have not been more severely injured due to the fact that the airbags did not deploy. Thay said with the location of impact, speed (55) and type of impact they definately should have went off. I hit my right shoulder and breast on the steering wheel. It has been three weeks and I still cannot rise my right arm. I have mutiple contusions on my right breast which resuted in a large blood clot forming that will have to be sugically removed.

My husband was driving our 2001 ford f150 supercrew lariat on 4/14/04. He was struck from behind by a dodge neon going approximately 70 MPH. My husband was going 35 MPH. The safety belt did not latch nor did the airbag deploy, resulting in my husbands being thrown forward and hitting his head at great force on the windshield. The force of the crash totalled my truck, cracking and bending the frame. Had either safety feature worked, my husband would not be injured today. Four weeks later he suffers from short term memory loss, extreme anger and mood swings and has soft tissue damage to his neck and vertebrae. I have contacted ford and am waiting for a response. *ak rq04011.

Fluid leak in clutch system, dealer could not find source so he relpaced master cylinder and slave cylinder. Then feb 21 2003 had same problem. Dealer relaced complete cluch assembly including the slave cylinder. Also at this time they noticed that the air bag switch was not functioning prorerly. This switch had been turned off at time of delivery and was never turned on again. How can this switch fail under this condition? This truck is driven over the road and well maintained. I don't feel that I should be having this much trouble when the clutch is not used as much as if it were used for in town or suburan driving. I feel that this model and year has a faulty clutch and air bag system.
