I had an accident on November 30, 2016. I was hit head on on a city street and spun around. I tried to put my foot on the brakes because my car kept going but the airbag was in the way and I couldn't get to the brake. My car kept going and I was headed for an office building. I ran into the building because I couldn't get my foot on the brake due to the airbag in the way. This accident could have been much worse if there were other cars in the area that I needed to avoid or if I was headed for a cliff my car was totaled.

7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2017

Takata recall autonation has sent a letter for recall on takata airbags but has no replacement airbags. There is also a recall for corroded gas tank. I see none of these in your recall database so I assume the recall has been rescinded. I was waiting for airbags to come in to get it repaired together. That never happened. This is a complaint about the process which leaves it unresolved by Ford.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2017

Purchased vehicle in Nov of 2016. In Feb of 2017 I received a message on dashboard that my oil pressure was low. After checking oil we discovered it was 3 quarts low. Though maybe it was not filled all the way by the dealer. On March 27th we brought the vehicle into the dealership because again the oil was 3 qts low. On March 28th the dealer called to say that they had a memo from Ford stating something was wrong with the engine and that they would have to replace the entire engine! (now that's scarry) also received in the mail that there is a compliance recall call 17c02 for airbags. In specific the drivers airbag. Parts for this recall will not be available until late second quarter 2017. I feel this vehicle is a disaster, not safe, afraid to drive and that Ford should just give me a new one!! very disappointed with Ford. We are Ford car buyers and have been for at least 20 yrs.
