| 2010 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | WHILE IN THE PASSING LANE ON INTERSTATE 81, THE THROTTLE BODY CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO ENTER "LIMP MODE". THE ENGINE RPM IMMEDIATELY REDUCED TO IDLE AND I COASTED FROM THE PASSING LANE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO IDLE SO I DROVE TO THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT, ENTERED A SERVICE STATION AND SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT WOULD NOT BE COVERED SINCE THE VEHICLE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *TR |
| 2008 | AIR BAGS | MY CAR WAS SITTING FOR A MONTH IN MY DRIVEWAY. I JUST GOT BACK FROM VACATION. NEXT DAY I WAS GOING TO WORK, MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS NOT SURE IF IT WAS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE TO WORK. RIGHT AWAY I CALLED MY GARAGE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD BRING IT IN TO GET IT INSPECTED. UPON INSPECTION THEY REALIZED THAT THE SENSOR UNDER MY PASSENGERS SEAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THEY GAVE ME THE EXACT NAME OF THE PROBLEM. ITS A B2290 OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM STATUS, FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT DRIVES THAT CAR AND RARELY DOES SOMEBODY SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I M NOT THE FIRST ONE TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY GARAGE FIXED THE PROBLEM. BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE POSTED ON THE RECALLS FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD CONCERN. *TR |
