Refer to the federal safety agency campaign 11v107000. Ford recall number 11s18. Vehicle was manufactured at norfolk, va plant. My VIN was not included in the original or expanded recall; however, it is now exhibiting the same problem; airbag warning light flashes twice x five times, then remains on. Possible clockspring jumper wire chafing. Wear could cause electrical short and unexpected airbag inflation while driving. This first occurred about ten days ago, but then the vehicle sat in the driveway for eight days. Current mileage is 115544. Today I called ford customer service and was informed there was no warranty action or active recall that would cover this investigation and repair. I believe the recall should be further expanded to cover this incident. It began with vehicles made at the norfolk va plant.

Im sure of the exact date originally bought my truck in 2004 brand new with 60 miles on it I had it less than a week and they replaced the tires and told me it was because they were egg shaped. And this is why it shook or vibrated at 55/70 MPH it went away for awhile. Then I kept routine oil and tire rotations and balancing on it but the vibration kept coming back. The rear brakes were replace on the truck with less than 30,000 miles cost me a fortune which are supposed to last until 150,000. The shocks, struts, brakes, and rotors and bearings were all replaces twice now first for vibration in 2007/2008 spent thousands didn't work replaced tires and rims went away for about six month then came back again every time we rotate the tires the vibration goes away for like a day or two then comes back in 2010 I had to replace the rear brake and emergency brake and bearings and seals for a second time because they locked up in 2011 I have replaced the brakes, shocks, rotors and struts, because of vibration guess what didn't work now were looking at tires and rims again and ford tells me that my rear seals and bearings need replaced for leakage and the possible shaking is my drive shaft I bought a 30,000 truck that I have put 10,000 grand in just estimating oh and they just fixed the recall for the airbag harness and tell me the airbag light is flashing but it isn't covered in the recall and it wasn't flashing when I dropped it off. I have two fords I have a ford escape I bought at the same dealer in 2005 that they kept a revolving door for in service because of all its problems and everyone tells me it should have been replaced I will never buy another ford again now I know why people joke about the fix or repair daily.
