I purchased the vehicle on november 10, 2001. The vehicle had been brought from another dealer, and when I picked it up, it was purported to have been examined and everything working. When I got a few miles down the road, I noticed that the air bag light was flashing. I called the dealership and was told to take it to a dealer as soon as possible and have it checked. Since it was saturday, I had to wait until the next week to have it checked. I was told at prestige ford that the air bag sensor module was not the right one for my car. The car was manufactured 3 days after the modules changed for the new cars. They ordered the part, I came back a week later to have it repaired. The computer still showed a problem, and mechanic said that he had replaced the part but would have to contact ford to see what to do about the other problem. A week later he called and said he had not reached ford yet. I said that my air bag worked, though, and he said no. The next day I was struck by another vehicle in a front end crash. We struck at approx. Same angle and both air bags deployed. Mine did not. I stopped when I saw her come over on wrong side of the road. She hit me at approx. 35 MPH. Middle seat in the car came out of the anchors. I hit the steering wheel and was thrown against the door. I was injured, neck, chest, arm, side. I believe the vehicle was defective, I was allowed to drive it without the offer of a loaner, and I feel that the air bag could have diminished my injuries. I am also very concerned about back seat coming loose.
Upon impact both seat belts did not lock, and air bags did not deploy for the driver or the passenger.
During a front vehicle crash of approximately 30-35 MPH, the drivers side airbag failed to deploy, even though the passenger side airbag did deploy as expected.
Recall 00v27000/manufacturer's recall 00s26 concerning air bag assembly failure. Consumer took vehicle to a scheduled appointment. When consumer arrived at dealer he was told in a rude manner that part wasn't in, and to get out.
