| I financed my car brand new oct 31, 2009, a week later i took it in to dealer because there was rust covering the whole under side. ford sent me away & said this was normal. around dec 2009 there was a loud noise & felt like the engine had literally dropped to the ground. never happened again. the gas also sometimes pauses to accelerate & suddenly jumps forward skipping a gear & jerks the car. passenger airbag panel is partially open & when i push on it, i hear crinkling & it pops back open. the easy fill gas feature allows gas to leak out causing a ring of gas to form below the opening on the exterior panel. i'm so unhappy with these issues i'm here for help. | |||

| I rear ended a large jacked-up truck that had a steel tube bumper at 50mph. the trucks bumper grazed the top of my front bumper and did extensive damage to my front end where the radiator exploded and the hood is touching the engine. but my airbag did not deploy at 50mph! when i hit the truck my car completely shut off right after the impact, but so did my abs, advancetrac traction control and lights and chimes started to go off. if my car shut down due to the impact at 50mph why didn't my airbags go off? thank goodness no one was injured, but someone else may not be so lucky. with a lot more jacked up trucks and steel pipe bumpers i think ford and other car manufactures need to focus on a new safety feature and not just rely on the bottom section of the bumper getting hit for the airbags to deploy. my entire front end is pushed into the engine, but the bumper is intact except some scrapes on the top. i'm just scared to know that the airbags didn't go off at 50mph with that kind of damage on a 2010 vehicle!! | |||
