2002 Ford Escape Air Bags

WHEN CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE FRONT CENTER OF VEHICLE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING MINOR INJURIES TO CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR 4 TIMES FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT. IT KEEPS COMING ON AND WON'T SHUT OFF. THIS VEHICLE IS JUST A YEAR OLD. THE DEALER REPAIR CENTER CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE PROBLEM REPAIRED

WHEN CONSUMER PULLED INTO THE INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE WAS HIT AT THE FRONT WHEEL WELL AREA, AND THE SIDE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY, WHICH CAUSED INJURY TO THE DRIVER. TS *JB

ON 9/27/02 I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE I RAN A STOP SIGN AND "T-BONED" A PASSING CAR THAT WAS TRAVELING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. MY 2002 ESCAPE WAS TOTALED - THE FRONT END COMPLETELY COLLAPSED. EVERY OFFICER, PARAMEDIC, AND FIREMAN WAS AMAZED THAT THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THEY ALL INSTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS MATTER. AS THIS IS MY SECOND ESCAPE (THE FIRST ONE SUCKED A VALVE WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP), I WILL NO LONGER TRUST FORD TO PROVIDE A SAFE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MYSELF OR MY FAMILY MEMBERS.

AFTER NEW SENSOR INSTALLED FOR AIRBAG, ANOTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT HAD AN ERROR. *AK
