This is in relation to an existing recall notice for 11s18. I have been trying to get this fixed since I got the recall notice may 9. I have called friendly ford springfield mo every tuesday and am told they do not have the part to fix it. The last time I was told to take it to another dealer farther away because they have it. They also told me to call the ford customer service number which I did and got a recording saying it was temporarily unavailable. What am I supposed to do at this point to get this fixed before a more serious situation arises. Ford and friendly ford doesn't seem to want to fix it regardless of what you say!

The front collision sensor on the 2004-2005 ford f150's are not working. I was at a dealership in vermilion ohio and the dealership stated that they have had several trucks come in where the front collision sensors have gone bad, probably from water getting into the sensors and freezing which in turn has cracked the sensor. Now my airbag switch stays on all the time.

Our 2004 ford f150 4x4 truck was subject to recall 11s18. When we took the truck in for the recall work at the nearest ford dealer service department informed us that they didn't have the parts to complete the recall work on our truck because the service rep said that ford only sends them five of the harness recall parts per day and they have been dealing with over 30 calls per day for this recall work and they have no idea when they will get the part to complete the recall work on our truck but they will call when they get the part. This is unacceptable in a safety recall.

I have a 2004 ford f150. The drivers airbag light flashes intermittently. I found that there is an upcoming recall by ford to fix the problem for 05' and 06' but not 2004. I read in an article that the federal safety agency has recommended that ford include the 2004 models. I contacted my local dealer and they said the did not know of any recalls for the f150 airbag problem. I offered to email them the articles but they said they did not have email. I told them the light was flashing and they told me it would cost 49.95 to look at the problem and I would have to pay for the total repair. I am concerned that the dealer does not have this knowledge and are unwilling to deal with something so obviously dangerous. In one article it said that if the warning light was flashing I should take my truck to the dealer immediately. Is the 2004 model going to be recalled and when??? If I pay for this expensive repair I am concerned I will not be reimbursed once the recall occurs. How long will it take for the federal safety agency to force ford to step up before a fatality occurs?? I have a textbook situation occurring that the federal safety agency has identified and I can not get anything done about it!

I was in a bank drive-up driving my daughter''s 2004 ford 150 truck. When I started to leave the truck lurched and the engine went to full speed. I immediately applied the brakes but they did nothing to slow the truck. I was headed straight for the bank where the tellers were, so I turned sharply to the right. The truck kept going at a high rate of speed with me trying to stop it with the brakes. It shot through the parking lot and across a very busy road where a car hit me. The impact of the other car didn''t even phase the truck. It kept going, over the curb across the street, through a burger king parking lot and rammed into metal stairs on the side of a jewelry store where it finally stopped. I hit the staircase at a tremendous rate of speed yet the airbags didn''t deploy. The car that hit me was totaled and the driver went to the hospital. My daughter''s truck was totaled and I had to go to the hospital with injuries that turned out to be bruises all over my body, especially on my legs. The staircase was destroyed and a car nearby had damage. The insurance was not adequate to cover all the damage. The insurance company sent someone out to do an engineering report on the truck but he could not find the cause. That didn''t surprise me as there was little left to inspect. This was definitely a mechanical failure. I did not have my foot on the gas peddle. I was trying to stop the truck with the brakes and steering to avoid people and other obstacles. Ford needs to look into this as it is an extremely dangerous flaw or defect. I am going to be responsible for a lot of money to repair the damage that the insurance didn''t pay.
