2005 ford mustang passenger's air bag deployed causing injuries to the consumer's back.
This complaint is regarding an air-bag light that comes on when driving my 2005 mustang. The car was purchased new from joe meyers ford in houston. Within the first year, the air-bag light started coming on randomly. It might not come on for days, then decides to come on. The owner's manual says if this light comes on to take it to the dealership, nothing else. The first time I brought it to the service department's attention, I was told if it wasn't on it wasn't a problem. Within my second year of ownership, the air-bag light came on while driving to the dealership for a routine oil change. This time the service again saw the light on. They kept the car, sold me a battery service where they removed the cable and sprayed anti-corrosion stuff on the terminal. This did not change the random light coming on while driving. I brought it back to the dealership for the ford mustang recall to re-program the airbag system. This did not change the random light coming on while driving. Received a call in may 2008 that they had a replacement sensor for my car. Brought it in and was told it was the wrong sensor. The service agent told me to call back later (no specific time line)to see if they had the new sensor. The car's warranty was up in july 2008, the light comes on all the time, and the dealership said they do not have the sensor for my car, but there are 5 dealers in town that have them. I plan to bring the car back this next week for them to fix the sensor, and feel they should honor the warranty. Whether they fix the problem or not remains to be seen.
2005 ford mustang with vehicle safety standard problems. Consumer states that he received a letter to have the restraint control module reprogrammed free of charge. His vehicle is in the netherlands is there a way to get it fixed free of charge.
The air bag light behind the steering wheel comes on at random occasions. After starting the car in cool wet weather, or after the 3rd or 4th stop in a series of errands. It stays on until I turn the ignition off. After turning the ignition on again, sometimes it stays on again, and much of the time it goes off after the initial computer check. Of course the dealer says they cannot do anything unless it is on all of the time. So what does it mean when it decides to stay on? Will it not deploy in the event of an accident?
