There is an "advanced" recall on the clockspring contamination on my vehicle. The local ford dealership is stating that they do not have access to the parts to fix this issue, as it's an advanced warning. The issue is that the truck is having the malfunction. The buttons on the steering wheel do not work, which is now causing me to not be able to see the display b/c it's blocked by a warning, the airbag light is on which is an indication that it does not work. Ford won't look at it without charging $200 for diagnostics and then I will be responsible for paying for the repairs, even if it has to do with the recall. They aren't even sure if the truck can be repaired because they don't have the parts for the repair?????? This is a safety issue, and is basically forcing me to find another vehicle to drive since the airbags are showing they won't work. I also can't use the handsfree phone options since the buttons don't work on the steering wheel. Need to know when the parts are going to actually be available.

REFERENCED FORD HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOY WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A HEATED GARAGE OVERNIGHT. THERE WAS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. WE DO NOT HAVE A TIME FRAME FOR HOW LONG IT WAS PARKED BEFORE DEPLOYMENT. AFTER THIS DEPLOYMENT FOUND THAT THE TRUCK NO LONGER HAD POWER TO START THE VEHICLE OR ANY DASHBOARD INDICATORS/GAUGES WORKING. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON/OFF RANDOMLY TILL BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE PARKED AND SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE UP TO 6 MONTHS TO REPAIR. I DECIDED TO SEE IF I WAS ABLE TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBLEM MYSELF. WHILE WORKING ON THE TRUCK MY DOG HAPPENED TO JUMP INTO THE TRUCK AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I TOLD HIM TO GET OUT AND AS HE WAS GETTING DOWN HE MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOOT WELL COVER AND ALL THE LIGHTS WENT BACK OUT. UPON REMOVING THE FOOT WELL COVER I IMMEDIATELY FOUND BROKEN AND CHARRED WIRING TO INCLUDE THE AIRBAG WIRES BEING COMPROMISED. THE AREA OF CONCERN IS WHERE THE FOOT WELL COVER AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE KICK WELL PANEL COME TOGETHER JUST BELOW AND TO THE LEFT OF THE PARKING BRAKE. THEY USE THE OPEN SPACE BELOW THE FOOT WELL COVER TO RUN THE WIRES TO VARIOUS DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. SPEAKING WITH KENDALL FORD DEALERSHIP IN WASILLA ALASKA, HE INFORMED ME THAT THE WIRE BEING CHAFFED/BROKEN AND CHARRED WAS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR PART AND THAT FORD WOULD NOT REPAIR IT OR REPLACE THE AIRBAG. REALLY FELT LIKE THEY DID NOT WANT TO EVEN TALK TO ME.
