| 1997 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE | NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V323000 WHEN I RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM FORD IT SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR THE AIR BAG MODULE. IT DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT JUST PUTTING A PLASTIC COVERING OVER THE MODULE. THE MODULE IN MY CAR WAS ALREADY SHORTED OUT AND IS NO GOOD. I MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT HIS IN EARLY 2002. I SPOKE WITH AN NHTSA INVESTIGATOR ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND MONTHS LATER IS WHEN THE RECALL HAPPENED. BUT IT NOT EVEN A RECALL FOR A FIX TO THE PROBLEM I ALREADY HAD. KEEPING THE WATER OUT OF A BAD MODULE IS NOT HELPING ME AT ALL. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE MODULE WOULD BE REPLACED. HOW CAN THE DEALER SEE THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE IS SHORTED OUT AND JUST PUT A PLASTIC COVERING ON IT AND GIVE IT BACK TO US WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT STILL ON? *JB |
