| Wife had a collision w/nissen pickup, doing 40 mph, only the passenger side of the front end damage but the whole front end of the nissen pick destroyed. i'm attacking ford for this. my brother-in-law cann't move his neck due to he hit the windsheild, his seat belt did not hold him and neither of the air bags deployed, this could have been worse. | |||

| First problem: car door indicator light will not go off even when the doors or tightly shut. second problem: left turning signal light blinks very fast and the right signal light blinks regularly. third problem: passenger selt belt keeps getting stuck even after pressing the red button to release. fourth problem: the squeaking and shaking vibration when driving a speed of 50 or more mph and you begin pressing the brakes is when the sounds and the vibrations begins. fifth problem: the service light came on and i had it check to the ford place they stated it was a defect in a box the sits on top of the engine ( i want to say it holds the computer chip) is going bad. at that particular time i did not ask them to do a recall list for me. i really need any information you can give me on this vehicle. | |||

| Car was involved in collision and when brakes where applied all wheels locked up and was unable to steer doing about 40 mph but car is equipped with abs system - the brakes have been worked on twice in 2 years both by ford dealers. should this have happened with abs. also neither air bag deployed even though it was the front end that has suffered damage (don't know cost yet) front bumper, hood, head light, driver side front quarter panel and driver door are all damaged. not only did the air bags not deploy, but after accident the air bag light on dash flashed on and off repeatedly, and along with this the shoulder harnesses on seats did tighten, but not enough to hold people back to where one passenger in the back hit their face on the back of the front seat. luckily there were not injuries. *ak | |||

| The rear seat belts do not have the alr system. the manufacturer stated that feature is optional for that year. the owners manual states the vehicle must have alr to properly secure a child safety seat. *ak | |||
