Airbag initially displayed a failure code at 460 miles and the dealer replaced the monitor assembly. The airbag has now again reported a failure code (45). The dealer examined the vehicle and found that the internal computer showed 2 failures with codes u2017 and u2018. They did not repair the problem. Ford motor company had provided the dealership with the following advisory: intermittent air bag light dtc u2017/u2018 some 2000/2001 taurus/sables equipped with side air seat bags may exhibit an intermittent air bag lamp on with diagnostic trouble codes (dtc) u2017 and/or u2018 (side crash sensor communications error) stored in memory. Engineering is investigating and plans to release a service procedure mid-first quarter 2001. Please clear codes and release vehicle at this time. If dtc codes are key on engine run or hard fault, perform workshop manual pinpoint tests and service as necessary. The dealer would not assure me that the airbag would function if required or that it would not inflate at an inappropriate time.
While driving 40 MPH had a frontal impact, and driver's /passenger's airbags did not deploy, which did not protect occupants in this crash. No prior problems with airbag system. *ak the autobody repair specialist indicated that the air bag failure to deploy was connected to faulty seat belts.
Within days of purchasing vehicle the air bag light would come on while driving and stay on until the engine was turned off, the vehicle was taken to the dealer on 6 occasions and several components were replaced but the problem still exist. Nlm
While on interstate and coming off an exit ramp consumer lost consciousness and hit a guardrair, and a tree on the front passenger side of vehicle. Upon impact, none of airbags deployed.
The airbag warning light came on. Fords owners manual said the bag would malfunction and possibly deploy. Take the vehicle to the dealer asap. This vehicle has been in the dealers possion since 10/19/00 and I am told that the defective part is on national backorder. How can this be acceptable? I use this vehicle in my work and depend on it. It's been 5 working days & a weekend and it appears that it will be next week before (no promise) the part arrives. What can you do? I do not expect you to get this auto fixed for me however, being of importance of safty, replacement parts for an item should not be tolorated for any reason! Is this a common problem with ford? Your consideration will be appreciated.
I purchased a 2000 model ford taurus lx from marietta ford on 7/10/2000. The VIN # is [xxx]. On 7/27 my wife was involved in a collision while driving this vehicle. Upon investigation and repair the airbag sensors failed, causing the airbags to not deploy. The traction control system malfunctioned, causing the brakes and wheels to lock and making the vehicle unable to stop to avoid a collision. Ford has failed to take responsibility despite repeated attempts to contact them and forwarding them all the appropriate information. In light of the recent spate of defects reported from ford, it appears they now have an additional issue.*ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Airbag had started to come through the center and edge of the steering wheel. Dealer has replaced the steering wheel once, and the proble has reoccurred in the replacement steering wheel.
While driving ABS braking system malfunctioned, causing wheels to lock up in dry conditions, which had a 36 feet long of skid marks,and resulted in a frontal impact. Driver's and passenger's air bags did not deploy, and did not protect the occupants in this crash. Please provide further information.
Air bag warning light keeps illuminating on the control panel. Dealer has been contacted. Dealer claimed to have fixed problem. This has occurred four times.
