2007 Ford Focus complaints

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD STAYS ON ALL OF THE TIME. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT COMES UNBUCKLED SOMETIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I ACQUIRED THE CAR IN 2012.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME AND THE PASSAGER SEAT BELT WILL COME UNLASHED AT TIMES, THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE WITH IN THIS LAST YEAR 2016.

UPDATED 05/30/17*LJ UPDATED 7/9/18*JB *TR

THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM WILL NOT CATCH ALL THE TIME AND REQUIRES SEVERAL TIMES SHUTTING THE DOOR BEFORE IT WILL CATCH. ALSO, OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR WILL BECOME UNLATCHED AND OPEN ON ITS OWN. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON OTHER YEARS WITH THE SAME PART BUT NOT ON THE 2007 FOCUS. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS OR FIX THIS OUR SELVES TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE ONLY AFTERMARKET PARTS ON MY CAR OUR THE TIRES AND ALL OF THE MOUNTS. FOR THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURED MOUNTS FAILED AND BROKE.

ON 5/31/16 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 13 VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, BRAKES PEDAL WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND COULD NOT BE DEPRESS TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN, SHIFTING GEARS CAUSE THE ENGINE TO RACE, PULLING EMERGENCY BRAKE DID NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN..

REAR PASSENGER DOOR NO LONGER LOCKS, EITHER AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY ATTEMPTING TO PRESS THE LOCK LATCH. ISSUE IS THE SAME WITH CHILD LOCK ENGAGED OR DISENGAGED. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

"TAKATA RECALL" I'M HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY FORD FOCUS WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY IN THE HIGHER GEARS, 3RD AND 4TH I HAD IT CHECKED AT A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO VERIFYED THAT THE COMPUTER TOLD THEM THAT THE HIGHER GEARS WERE AT FAULT. I WOULD LIKE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WITH THIS PROBLEM.

I TOOK AN EXIT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN. WHEN I TURNED LEFT AT ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH, I STRAIGHTENED OUT MY VEHICLE, AND AT BETWEEN 25-30 MPH, MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED OUT OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT WITHOUT ANY REASON.I DID NOT CRASH INTO ANYTHING NOR DID ANYTHING CRASH INTO ME. THE WEATHER WAS SUNNY, WITH NO PRECIPITATION, AND THE ROADS WERE CLEAR WITH NO ICE OR SNOW. AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE MILEAGE WAS 109,812. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD FIND NO REASON WHY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THEY WANTED ME TO REPLACE MODULES AND SENSORS, TOTALING $2,800. BECAUSE THERE WAS NO COLLISION, MY INSURANCE REFUSED TO HELP. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS PAST THE DATE OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

PROBLEMS WITH CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, WHEN DRIVING, IT PICKS UP SPEED, RPMS INCREASE AND CONTINUES EVEN WITH FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. HAVE TO HOLD DOWN ON BRAKES AS HARD AS POSSIBLE, WHILE CAR IS STILL ACCELERATING AT SAME TIME SO I WILL NOT CAUSE ACCIDENT. HAVE TO PUT IN PARK- BUT THEN ENGINE REVS UP TO OVER 6RPMS. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP TWICE WITHIN FIRST FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE. THEY STATED THEY CLEANED AND ADJUSTED THE THROTTLE BODY AND SECOND TIME, THEY STATED THEY TOOK THE COMPLETE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY APART. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS I WAS HAVING SAME ISSUES. WHEN I EXPLAINED HOW UNSAFE I FELT DRIVING THIS CAR, THEY JUST SAID "WELL DONT DRIVE IT". THEY SAID THAT I COULD BRING IT IN AGAIN, BUT WOULD BE CHARGED FOR ANY REPAIRS. IAM NOW FEARFUL EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS CAR NOW. I NO LONGER DRIVE THE INTERSTATES, STAY ON CITY STREETS, DRIVING SLOWER. AT THIS POINT, I AM READY TO JUST DROP CAR BACK AT LOT AND TAKE MY CHANCES WITH REPERCUSSIONS OF BREAKING A CONTRACT; ITS BETTER THAN RISKING MY LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE USED CAR I JUST BOUGHT WITH IN THE LAST WEEK IS SHUDDERING, JERKING, AND SLIP OUT OF GEAR. IT ONLY HAD ONE OWNER, AND A LITTLE OVER 56,000 MILES. NOW I HAVE ONLY PUT 125 MILES ON IT, AND IT DOES THIS. SINCE IT SLOWS DOWN QUICKLY WITH A FIERCE JERK OF THE CAR, I WAS LUCKY AND DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, AND OTHER CARS BEHIND ME SLAMMING ON THERE BRAKES.

THERE IS A NON-ISOLATED SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING THE SEATS USED IN THE 2007 FORD FOCUS. THERE ARE COUNTLESS FORUM THREADS REGARDING THE POOR BUILD QUALITY OF THE SEATS USED IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF FORD. THE BACK OF THE SEAT FRAME BENDS WITH LITTLE TO NO PRESSURE AND THE CONDITION OF THE SEAT BACK SLOWLY BUT PROGRESSIVELY DETERIORATES. THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, PARTICULARLY IN AN INCIDENT WHERE MY VEHICLE IS REAR ENDED. NOT ONLY WOULD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, BUT THE DRIVER WOULD NOT BE PROPERLY PROTECTED IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. I SUFFER FROM SEVERE BACK PAIN JUST BY DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, LET ALONE IN THE AFTERMATH OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO COST EFFECTIVE WAY AND LEGAL WAY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SELLS THE OEM SEATS (WHICH ARE ALL PRONE TO SEATBACK FAILURE REGARDLESS) FOR $3,000. THE ONLY OTHER OPTION AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS IS TO PURCHASE AFTERMARKET SEATS. HOWEVER, IN STATES WHICH REQUIRE ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTION STICKERS, THERE IS NO LEGAL WAY TO INSTALL AFTERMARKET SEATS BECAUSE BY DOING SO, AN AIRBAG ERROR LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE DASH, THEREBY AUTOMATICALLY FAILING THE CAR'S INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. WHILE SPEAKING TO A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FORD MOTOR VEHICLE COMPANY, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS "REGRETFULLY, NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME FOR THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING" AND "THAT THERE IS NO CREDIBLE SAFETY DEFECT INVOLVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT WAS FRACTURED AND LEANED TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,500.

WE TOOK MY WIFE'S 2007 FORD FOCUS IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT TIRES NEED TO BE ROTATED ON THE FORD FOCUS'S AT EVERY OIL CHANGE TO HELP WITH THE LIFE BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR WEARING AN RUINING TIRES. SO WHAT IS THE DEAL DO WE HAVE TO HAVE DEEP POCKETS OR BE SITTING ON A PILE OF MONEY TO KEEP REPLACING TIRES OR CAN FORD BE MADE TO HELP COMPENSATE THE CONSUMER'S FOR A PROBLEM THEY CREATED AND ARE JUST LETTING IT GO.

MY CAR IS HAVING SOME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO A HIGHER SPEED AND WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE OVERDRIVE OFF LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING EVEN THOUGH I TURNED MY OVERDRIVE ON AND MY CAR ISN'T THAT HIGH IN MILEAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE BECAME UNSTABLE AND WAS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG SENSOR AND OVERDRIVE SENSOR LIGHTS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000. UPDATED 02/18/16*LJ

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN WHEN THE INTERNAL LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE RADIO SHUTTING OFF, HEADLIGHTS DIMMING BEFORE TURNING OFF, AND WIPER BLADES FAILING. THIS WAS QUITE DANGEROUS AS IT WAS DARK OUT AND RAINING, AND I HAD NO WIPERS OR HEADLIGHTS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE ROAD BEFORE THE CAR FAILED ENTIRELY. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART, AND I HAD TO GET TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY ALTERNATOR, WHICH ALSO CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL. THE MECHANIC REPLACED BOTH COMPONENTS FOR $630.80.

REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED, CAUSING DOOR TO POP OPEN - THE LATCH HAS A RECALL, BUT ONLY THROUGH 2005 - SAME LATCH IS USED. THE DOOR WILL NOW NOT CLOSE AT ALL. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON MY 2003 FOCUS. CAR HAS LESS THAN 70000 MILES ON IT. IF THERE WAS EVER A SAFETY ISSUE NEEDING A RECALL, IT IS DOORS POPPING OPEN ON THEIR OWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO VEER TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE DOORS BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LOST CONSCIOUSNESS FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURES TO THE BRAIN, NECK, AND BACK MUSCLES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE COUNTY DEPUTY DETERMINED THAT THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY HAD COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND FILED A REPORT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY BREAKS FEEL VERY MUSHY. I HAVE TO PUMP MY BREAKS IN ORDER FOR ME TO STOP. I COULD BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEED TO SLOW DOWN OR COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN MY BREAKS DON'T RESPOND NORMALLY. WHILE ON HIGHWAY IF I DON'T PUMP BREAKS THE PEDAL JUST GOES TO THE FLOOR. WHEN COMING TO A STOP I HAVE TO PUMP BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AND HAVE THE PEDAL TO FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP. IF I COME OFF THE FLOOR JUST SLIGTLY WITH PEDAL THE CAR WILL ROLL FORWARD. VERY SCARY MAY I AD. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY AFTER PURCHASE. I HAD THE BREAK PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DAILY PROBLEM.

MY AIR BAG LIGHTS COMES ON AND OFF. CAR HASNT BEEN WRECKED BUT WHEN LIGHT COMES ON IT WILL STAY ON FOR HALF AND DAY. THESE TWO LIGHTS PASSENGER AND DRIVER WILL COME ON WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION GOING DOWN HIGHWAY.

WAS LEAVING WORK PUT THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR AND THE SHIFTER CAME APART IN MY HAND AFTER IT WAS PUT INTO GEAR. WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR TAKE THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION.WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THEY WERE RECEIVING A VEHICLE STRUCTURE ERROR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECREASED IN SPEED TO 30 MPH WITHOUT WARNING.

RAN INTO A GUARD RAIL FRONT ON. AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF

THE HATCHBATCH DOOR WORKED WELL THEN A FEW MINUETS LATER I OPENED IT, IT WILL NOT STAY UP AND SLAMS DOWN THERE WAS NOT INCIDENT OF INJURY IT BUT IS A DANGER IT WILL NOT STAY OPEN.

OUT OF NO WHERE MY BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED TO GET GAS AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE CAR CUT OFF AND THE CAR DIED. I HAD SOMEONE JUMP ME AND I MADE IT TO MY HOUSE AND IN THE PARKING SPOT AND AS SOON AS I PARKED MY CAR IT DIED AGAIN. I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY ON 6/11/2015 TODAY IS 7/28/2015 AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED A SECOND TIME AND HAD THE CAR TESTED AND FOUND OUT THE ALTERNATOR IS FAILING. I HAVE FOUND MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ALTERNATOR FAILING AND BELIEVE THIS HAS BECOME A HUGE ISSUE. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WILL REPLACE THE UNIT BUT I HAVE SEEN WHERE MANY PEOPLE REPLACED IT MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN A 2 YEAR SPAN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONING ON TO LEVELS 3 & 4 AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR WOULD NOT BLOW. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ONE OTHER OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PIGTAIL AND THE SWITCH MELTED TOGETHER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

FOR SOME REASON, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN MAY GO OFF FOR A DAY BEFORE COMING BACK ON. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHEY THIS IS HAPPENING. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT AN AIRBAG SENSOR ISSUE OR SOMETHING RELATED TO THE RECALL ISSUES WITH TAKATA. THANKS YOU AND PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH WHICH IS PRESENTLY LIT UP SINCE 2012. I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT SINCE IT IS NOT ON THE LIST. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK AND MAKE SURE TAKATA HAS NOT EXTENDED TO FORD FOCUS 2007 FOR ME? THANK YOU, SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRAVELING AT 45 MPH, VEHICLE PULLS OUT IN FRONT OF MINE AND MY CAR IMPACTED THE FRONT END OF THEIR VEHICLE. FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY DAMAGED AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD FIXED. SIX MONTHS LATER THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS CAME ON AND STAYS ON. MY MOMS FORD FOCUS HAS NOT BEEN WRECKED OR INVOLVED IN ANY CRASH AND HER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WONT GOT OFF.

WE WERE DRIVING NORTH AT 50 MPH, MAN GOING EAST ROLLED THROUGH STOP SIGN. HE T-BONED US SQUARE IN BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS, ROLLING US OVER TWICE, LANDING BACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. OUT OF 7 AIRBAGS ONLY ONE DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED WAS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF WHERE THE IMPACT OCCURRED. I HAVE THE CAR, IT HAS BEEN UNTOUCHED OTHER THAN TOW TRUCK COMPANY AND IS LOCKED IN MY PARENTS GARAGE, AS WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT OR NEXT. WE HAVE TONS OF PICTURES. PICTURES OF THE CAR, THE SCENE, WE HAVE IT ALL. THANK YOU RW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES BECAME INOPERABLE IN WARM CLIMATES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I WRECKED MY CAR AND IN THE ACCIDENT NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. LATER AFTER THE LOCAL MECHANIC FIXED THE DAMAGE HE RETURNED THE CAR TO ME AND WITHIN 24 HOURS THE COMPUTER RESET ITSELF AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING A PROBLEM. THE LIGHT HAS NEVER TURNED OFF EXCEPT WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND THE AIRBAGS NEVER HAVE COME OUT.

1) THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL YEARS AGO ( APPROX. DECEMBER, 2011 - MILEAGE WAS APPROX. 45,000) WHEN THE CAR COLLIDED WITH AN ONCOMING CAR AND WAS DAMAGED ON THE FRONT END AND DRIVER'S SIDE. NO ONE WAS INJURED. DURING THE PAST 2 OR 3 YEARS, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR DAYS AT A TIME. IT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED BY HEAT AND HUMIDITY. IT SEEMS TO GO ON WHEN THE WEATHER IS HUMID AND OFF WHEN THE AIR IS DRY, AT ALL TIMES OF THE YEAR. I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY WHEN IT IS NECESSARY. 2) DURING THE PAST YEAR, THE POWER STEERING HAS MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT. A MECHANIC WHO WORKED ON IT SAID HE PUT A CLAMP ON IT AND REFILLED THE STEERING FLUID, WHICH HELPED FOR A FEW WEEKS, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. SO FAR THE STEERING HAS WORKED WELL, BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT POWER STEERING IS DEFECTIVE AND WEARING OUT TOO SOON.THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH IN THE LANE 2. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS DRIVING NORTH IN THE FIRST LANE. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN SHE COULD NOT SEE PAST TRAFFIC IN THE SOUTH FIRST LANE SO SHE CONTINUED TO TURN. I THEN T-BONED THE OTHER DRIVE. SHE WAS CITED AT FAULT FOR FAILING TO YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY. MY AIR BAGS ATTEMPTED TO DEPLOY BUT THEY DID NOT

SPRING BROKE ON AIR BAG FOR NO REASON. LIGHT DID COME ON AND OFF IN THE DASH BOARD. I' M WRITING THIS TO INFORM THE BOARD THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM WITH THESE AIRBAGS. FURTHERMORE I FEEL IT SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR FOR THE AMOUNT OF FOUR HUNDRED A D FIFTY DOLLARS.. *TR

MY GAS PEDAL IS STICKING. I NOTICE THIS IN 2014 WHEN IT GOT COULD AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING NOW , EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT COLD. *TR

ANYTIME THE TEMPERATURE BECOMES COLD OUT, THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT BUDGE; NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU STOMP ON IT. MY REMEDY HAS BEEN TO TURN THE FLOOR BOARD HEATER ON FULL BLAST FOR ABOUT 20 MINS.; IF I AM LUCKY, THIS WILL RELEASE THE PEDAL AND I AM ABLE TO PUSH IT DOWN TO ACCELERATE. (THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS COLD OUT SIDE, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT DURING THE WARM MONTHS; AS OF YET.) I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AT MARSHAL MIZE FORD, HIXSON, TN, SO I PHONED THEM REGARDING THE ISSUE AFTER I READ THE NC CONSUMER.ORG REPORT AND GAVE THEM THE CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 INFORMATION. THE REPLY I RECEIVED WAS, "THERE IS NO RECALL ON YOUR VEHICLE. HOWEVER; IF YOU BRING IT IN, WE COULD FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT YOU WILL BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. IF THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM, IT WILL BE AROUND $304 PLUS LABOR." *TR
