Three problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 1999 Ford Contour. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a 1999 Ford Contour with a horribly warped dashboard. There was never a recall, only a courtesy call to come to Ford and have it fixed. I brought it into my local dealer, who did not have another dash to replace. They had to order it. When I called back several months later, they told me that time had expired and they sent the dash back to Ford and there was nothing I can do. This warped dash is dangerous, interferes with my field of vision, the defroster won't work properly and now is interfering with the passenger side airbag. I want you to know about this early in case of an accident. This car was bought new in 1999 by me and only has 35k miles on it.
The dealership admited that a technician left a wire loose when they installed a new motor in my car. They were repairing all damage due to the fire. They did not. My son had an accident 4 months later. When the airbags deployed, the passanger side airbag was burnt and melted, therefore never completely deploying.
During vehicle collision neither passenger nor drivers side air bag deployed. Nlm.
