Consumer Description

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON FLASHING 4-2. THIS INDICATES A FAILURE IN THE FRONT LEFT CRASH SENSOR. UNDER RECALL 99V243000 (FORD # 99S23) THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED. FORD INDICATED THAT THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED ON FEB. 28TH, 2000. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON FEB 29TH, 2000. IF THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED, IT LASTED LESS THAN 4 YEARS. FORD STATED TO TAKE IT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER, BUT NO FURTHER RECALL WAS PLANNED. A RECALL FIX SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 4 YEARS, ESPECIALLY ON A SAFETY SYSTEM. *LA
