2007 FORD FOCUS BOUGHT NEW JULY 2007 ALSO BOUGH FULL WARRANT AND GAP INSURANCE IN FEB 2008 DRIVING 65 DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITH NOW REASON. 4 BOYS IN THE CAR. FORD SAID TAKE IT TO YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY ALSO WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE CD PLAYER ONE MONTH BEFORE THIS SO THE INSURANCE COMP. SENT IT TO THERE REPAIR SHOP THEY TOOK EXTENSIVE PICTURES TO SHOW NO BODY DAMAGE OR IMPACT TO CAUSE THIS, THEY REPLACED THE SEAT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OF SO IT INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A PERSON IN THE SEAT SO, THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD FORD TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE COMPANY FIXING IT HAD ALREADY CHANGED ALL THE SENSORS AND THE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. WE HAD TO PAY 500.00 DEDUCTIBLE AND THE INSURANCE PAID 1658.00 WE DO NOT KNOW IF OUR INSURANCE WILL GO UP BECAUSE FORD HAS NOT EXCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY YET AND IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS AND I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMM. THE NEWS ECT.. I DO NOT WANT MY CHILD DRIVING THIS CAR AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK (PLUS SOME) AND THE COMPUTER READS A COLLISION SO WE HAVE LOST ALOT OF VALUE I AM JUST MAD AND I HAVE HEARD ALOT OF STORIES ABOUT FORD AIR BAGS AND NOTHING IS DONE I AM ONLY A SPECK TO THEM THEY WILL PROBABLY DROP THE CASE AND THAT WILL BE THAT ATLEAST NOBODY WAS KILLED YET MAYBE THAT IS WHY THEY SELL GAP INSURANCE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS RECENTLY IN A HORRIFIC CAR CRASH IN HER BRAND NEW 2007 FORD FOCUS. THE CAR FLIPPED, HIT A TELEPHONE POLE (REAR END) LANDED ON THE TOP AND ROLLED. THE AIRBAGS (FRONT AND SIDE) NEVER DEPLOYED. MY DAUGHTER SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES AND CUTS, SCRAPES & BRUISES - BUT THANK GOD SURVIVED. ARE THERE ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAGS ON THE 2007 FOCUS? *TR

I OWN A 2007 FORD FOCUS. I PURCHASED THE SE MODEL NEW BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS. MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON 4/5/08 WHERE A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER. HER FOCUS HIT THE CAR DEAD CENTER BETWEEN THE DRIVERS CAR DOOR AND THE PASSENGER CAR DOOR. THE IMPACT WAS ALMOST A PERFECT FRONTAL IMPACT WHICH DESTROYED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE FOCUS. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND MY DAUGHTER SUFFERED A BRUISED CHEST, NECK AND BACK PAIN FROM THE SEAT BELT. I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NON-DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS ON THE FORD FOCUS ON FRONTAL IMPACTS. I BELIEVE IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC THAT THIS BE INVESTIGATED. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO NICHOLS FORD IN FORT WORTH, TX. I HAVE ALSO NOTIFIED THE CONSUMER DEPARTMENT OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF THE COMPLAINT. *TR

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH A FRIEND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH WE HIT NOTHING THANK GOD IT WAS NOT THE DRIVERS AIR BAG THE CAR IS ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD WE HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT AND TOLD US TO GO TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. WE HAD TO PAY A 500.00 THEY FOUND THAT THE COMPUTER RECORDED A HEAD ON ACCIDENT WHICH WILL NOT BE ERASED SO THE CAR VALUE IS NOW LOST THEY TOOK PICTURES OF EVERYTHING SHOWING NO ACCIDENT AT ALL THE INSURANCE COMPANY CHANGED ALL THE SENSORS AND THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF IT INDICATED A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT SO THE SENT IT TO THOROUGHBRED FORD AND SAID THEY DID NOT CARE WHAT THEY HAD TO DO BUT FIX THE CAR SO THE DID. IT COST ME 500.00 DEDUCTIBLE AND THE INSURANCE CO 1,800.00 SO NOW THE ARE WAITING FOR FORD TO EXCEPT LIABILITY. WE NO NOT FEEL OUR SON IS SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR I FEEL MOST ACCIDENTS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS WHICH HAPPENED FIRST AN ACCIDENT OR THE AIR BAG. WE COULD HAVE LOST FOUR YOUNG MEN BECAUSE OF THIS I AM VERY ANGRY WITH THIS TOTAL PROCESS IT TOOK 3 WEEKS TO GET THE CAR BACK THIS ALSO INVOLVED MISSING WORK CLASSES AND ALOT OF TROUBLE WITH TRANSPORTATION I WISH THEY WOULD TAKE THIS CAR OFF THE ROAD SO IF AND WHEN IT IS SOLD I DO NOT HAVE THAT BURDEN OF SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE ON MY HEAD AND HEART. *TR
