While driving the vehicle at the 30 MPH, the right side air bag deployed. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information. Mr
Air bag light kept coming on when consumer was driving. Consumer has had part replaced twice already, but problem still occurs.
Airbag warning light frequently comes on and then stays on all day. Dealer says car is safe except when warning lights are on, but that is unpredictable. Dealer has repeatedly made repairs but after a few months the airbag light comes on again. I made initial filing under lemon law and ford has made final repair but light still stays on. Took sable in again for diagnostic and dealer got very upset when I would not let them work on it after "final repair" typing "customer refuses safety repair" so they must believe it is not just a light problem but a true safety problem. Can you tell me if there have been failures of sable airbags in accidents or injuries or fatalities associated with year 2000, 2001 or 2002 sable airbags? If you do not know, can you advise me or refer me where to find this information?
Consumer states that when vehicle hit a pump slightly, heard a popping noise the driver side airbag came out but didn't deploy.

While parking vehicle suddenly accelerated, resulting in vehicle crashing into a building. Upon impact, driver's front airbag did not deploy, side airbag deployed. $ 7000 damage to vehicle.
The passenger side air bag is malfunctioning. I have taken the car to an authorized ford dealer 8 times: 5/8/00, 5/24/00, 6/9/00, 6/1/01, 6/5/01, 7/11/01, 8/6/01, and 8/25/01. Ford has tightened connections,re-soldered connections, or replace wiring five times. The control module has been replaced twice. On 8/6/01 an authorized ford dealer wrote on the work order "ford tech. Assist hotline is aware of concern & advises no repair is available at this time." I have filed for lemon law, and at ford's request took the car to an authorized ford dealer on 8/25/01. On 8/25/01, ford "repaired a loose connection at fuse box." the problem still exists. I am attempting to schedule a lemon law hearing date. This needs to be investigated. Ford is not working with me to solve the problem. In ford's investigative report to the texas department of transportation, they did not acknowledge that the car had been seen for an air bag problem. I have copies of all eight visits to dealerships for the air bag malfunctions.

While driving on drum avenue in kensington maryland I was going approximately 25mph when I heard a loud bang and then my passenger side air bag deployed. At the time I had my 11year old grandson and one of his friends in the back seat. Apparently my tire blew out and when the rim hit the ground my airbag deployed causing the astronomical expenses. A side air bag should not deploy on a tire blow out and there is no side impact.*ak (tiresize: p215-60 r1)( dot number: tire size: p215-60 r1 )
Consumer was on way to work and hit a small pothole on right side and driver's airbag deployed. Manufacturer sending a technician to look at vehicle.
Airbag and ABS lights on control panel come on intermittently. Happens when consumer uses power windows. When brakes are depressed, all dash lights go dim. Vehicle has not been involved in an accident.
Koons lincoln-mercury service technicians have stated that the emission light stays illuminated because vehicle has a defective fuel vapor transfer system. Air bag light was illuminated due to a defective left front air bag sensor. Brake lights inoperative due to a switch stop lamp and broken wire. This defect almost caused me to get rear-ended in stop and go traffic on baltimore's beltway.
Airbag trouble light x3 (replaced 2nd time with part from "another car"--stayed on again for short trip afterwards); engine trouble light (fixed--so far); worried about my firestone tires--not recalled so far!
Consumer was at traffic stop and vehicle idling, as soon as consumer put foot on accelerator pedal ,consumer heard a loud noise and vehicle took off at high rate speed, crashing into a lamp pole, and causing injuires/ a broken sternum. Seatbelts did not lock up, and frontal airbags did not deploy.
Consumer has a problem with air bag light staying on, during installation at the dealer they had bolted & drilled into wires, which caused problems.
