PE00020 ; airbag module light came on the dashboard intermittently. Throttle was stuck, and vehicle suddenly accelerated/T hood latch bolts were defective, and and the Firestone #ATX P23575 R15 dot vdul tire tread separated. Has contacted Firestone, and they put on a waiting list.
When turning on the ignition, warning lights are supposed to come on and go off. However, airbag warning light stays on. Consumer feels this is unsafe, and there may be a problem with the air bag system. Also, automatic doors locks do not lock when vehicle is put into drive, but after the vehicle has traveled 2-3 miles down the road.
Consumer has noticed the air bag light illiuminated on the dash. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer was unable to determine the cause of the problem. Vehicle has been at the dealer on a number of occasions due tothe same problem.
This truck has overdrive problems. When you put it in rev and then drive most times it will cut the overdrive off, but not all the time. Rear passenger door will not open from inside. Airbag light goes on and starts blinking then goes off for a while then back on. The power steering makes noise on a hard right or left turn.
The main computer was shut down due to a faulty ignition switch. This failure may be the cause of other electrical components to fail. The airbag connectors were cracked under passenger seat causing failure. Vehicle has been taken to dealer 4-5 times.
Air bag light flashed codes and then stayed on. Dealer replaced module. Waited two weeks for part. Same problem reoccured two weeks later and as of 9/25/99 has not been resolved.
In Jan, 1999 I received authorization for installation of an on-off switch for the driver airbag. I found an auto shop who will install the switch, yet Ford refuses to provide the shop with the switch. Since Jan, 1999 they have said there is a three week backup on parts, and they have been stalling for eight months. Since Ford created a life-threatening situation by intalling air-bags without the switches they are obliged to now provide consumers with the necessary equipment to rectify the situation. Ford's reckless delay tactic is criminal.
