Front Air Bag Problems of Ford F-150 - part 1

I recieved 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 couldnot 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 transpertation 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 experiance 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.

Our 2004 Ford f150 4x4 truck was subject to recall 11s18. When we took the truck in for the recall work at the nearest Ford dealer service department informed us that they didnt have the parts to complete the recall work on our truck because the service rep said that Ford only sends them five of the harness recall parts per day and they have been dealing with over 30 calls per day for this recall work and they have no idea when they will get the part to complete the recall work on our truck but they will call when they get the part. This is unacceptable in a safety recall.

I own a 2004 Ford lgt convtnl F-150 truck and I have a constantly illuminated air bag warning lamp on my vehicle since October of 2010.

A 2002 Ford F-150 struck a 1996 chevy blazer in the right rear, there for having damage to the front and front left quarter panel of the F-150. The impact was hard enough to roll the blazer over on to its top. My concern is that the air bags in both vehicles did not deploy the F-150 was traveling at a speed of +40mph at the time of impact, the blazer was at a parked stop.

My right hand including thumb and 1st finger was injured with lacerations. I took pictures and went to Ford dealer while still bleeding and shocked and stunned of what had happened. Dealer wanted me to pay out of pocket 1,300 plus some dollars or to claim on insurance. Insurance wouldn't pay for it because there no collisions.

They then tried to tell my my insurence should fix it. There is no body damage not even a piece of dirt missing. Then they said they would fix it. Wwhen I went up to sign work release the said they want to send the truck back to the factory. But theynever did this. I then told them I do not want it back they can just keep it. Under the lemon law. It was alrready in the shop for over 30 days. They had there legal dept. Call me and tell that it is not a lemon and I must keep this truck. I did not argue. But then out of the blue they agian saying I could come up there and pick out 1 of 2 2005 f150 that were more expensive and did not have options mine had. I would have to pay the cash difference up front to pick 1 up. I did not have that kind of cash so I stuck to my word that I dont want a nother Ford truck.

My husband was driving our 2001 Ford f150 supercrew lariat on 4/14/04. He was struck from behind by a Dodge neon going approximately 70 mph. My husband was going 35 mph. The safety belt did not latch nor did the airbag deploy, resulting in my husbands being thrown forward and hitting his head at great force on the windshield. The force of the crash totalled my truck, cracking and bending the frame. Had either safety feature worked, my husband would not be injured today. Four weeks later he suffers from short term memory loss, extreme anger and mood swings and has soft tissue damage to his neck and vertebrae. I have contacted Ford and am waiting for a response.
