general problems of the 2004 Ford Taurus

Airbags seats and seatbelts useless for 6'8" 375lbs adult man. I sit within 6" of the steering wheel airbag the seatbelt goes across my bicep not my shoulder and the seat itself only goes up to the middle of my back, the head rest is between my shoulders. Why is there no exemption for giants and airbags and seatbelts? by having these "safety features" in my vehicle, my life is put in more danger than other people that are normal sized. If I ever get into an accident and the airbags or seatbelt injure me I will be suing you for forcing me to use these dangerous for me things. One size does not fit all when you are a giant, and your regulations make being in a car more deadly to me.

On June 23, 2024 this 2004 Ford Taurus was in a front end collision at freeway speeds of 60 mph or higher. The driver airbag did not deploy and the driver died as a result of severe trauma to head and chest.

On April 30 2015 I was hit head on by 1999 Dodge dakota I was at a complete stop. The speed limit where 50 mph on that road. The whole front of my car is smashed in from the force of how hard he hit me and my airbags did not go off. My car spun 180. I was facing the way I was coming from. I got a sprained knee and some bumps and bruises.

I was having an issue with a noise coming from my steering column. I took it to byler Ford in louisville ky. Currently I do not have the date. I was told that the clock spring was defective and needs to be replaced. If it was not replaced the airbag may not work or the airbag will go off by itself. I replaced the clock spring at a cost of over $400. 00. The noise has returned. I had a local repair service check to see with was causing the noise. They said the clock spring was defective and would have to be replaced. I returned to the Ford dealership and talked with them about the issue with the clock spring in the 2004 Ford Taurus. They said they are not having a problem with the clock spring and that I would have to pay the $400. 00 to replace it again. I’m currently driving an unsafe car due to the defective clock spring. I should not have to pay the $400. 0 again for a defective safety part.

Owner health would not permit to calling in complaint. Now has new owner.
