I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (11S18) FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY TO DRIVER. I SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR THIS REPAIR AND DROPPED 2006 FORD F150 AT THE DEALER ON SCHEDULED DATE. THE TRUCK REPAIR COULDN'T BE PERFORMED BECAUSE FORD MOTOR COMPANY DID NOT SUPPLY THE PARTS. I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR THE DAY AS IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AS I WORK 20 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD HAVE SUPPLIED THIS PART PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED DATE PROVIDED TO ME. I THINK FORD MOTOR COMPANY OWES ME SOME TIME AND TRANSPORTATION NOW TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR TAKE THE PIECE OF YOU KNOW WHAT BACK. I HAVE NOT HAD A GOOD TO SAY THE LEAST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS FORD TRUCK AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT FEELS THE WAY I DO ABOUT FORD.AND THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE ROAD AND TO THE CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A WET TWO-LANE ROAD. THE TRUCK SLIPPED TO THE RIGHT OFF THE ROADWAY AND CLIPPED SOME DEAD TREES, TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 60 FEET OVER SOME BOULDERS, AND STRUCK A CEDAR TREE APPROXIMATELY SIX INCHES IN DIAMETER, COMING TO REST. THE TRUCK STRUCK THE TREE MIDWAY ON THE FRONT END, COMPRESSING THE HOOD, WITH THE FRONT FENDER WRAPPED AROUND THE TREE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, REQUESTING INFORMATION TO BE GATHERED ON WHY THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE REFERRED ME TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE CALLED ON MY BEHALF AND GAVE PERMISSION FOR FORD TO NON-DESTRUCTIVELY COLLECT DATA AT THE SALVAGE SITE, BUT FORD REFUSED. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT I CAN PROVIDE IF REQUESTED.

THIS PROBLEM FIRST SURFACED ON THE MORNING OF 6/25/2010. I, ALONG WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, WERE RETURNING FROM RUNNING AN ERRAND WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY AND THAT THE 'PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLED' INDICATOR WAS LIT. THE LATER EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL STATE, OFF, BUT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ON INTERMITTENTLY. I DROVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN ON 6/27/2010 WITH THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS: THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENT AND AT THE SAME TIME THE AN WARNING CHIME, AT 1 SECOND INTERVALS, WAS HEARD. THE 'PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLED' INDICATOR REMAINED LIT WITHOUT A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN DRIVEN ON 7/5/2010 WITH THE SAME INDICATIONS. AS A RESULT, I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL I DO MORE RESEARCH OR SPEAK TO A CERTIFIED SERVICE FACILITY. I TRULY FEEL THAT I'D BE AT RISK OF AN INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYEMENT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE , POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURIES TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS, AND OTHER VEHICLES, AND THUS I'M REQUESTING HELP AND ADVICE FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION. *TR
