NHTSA Complaint #10082702 — 1994 FORD F-150

MY 1994 FORD F-150 LIGHTNING SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS REPORTED BY OTHERS IN THE COMPLAINT DATABASE ON THIS SITE. I HAVE THE INTERMITENT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT, LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL, AND LOSS OF HORN. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE AIRBAG IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL DUE TO THIS. THERE ARE MANY ENTREES WITH THE SAME BROCKEN CLOCKSPRING AT FAULT. IT WOULD SEEM THAT FORD HAS A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT CAN COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT FORD SOCKING EVERY OWNER WITH A $250.00 CHARGE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I ALSO HAVE THE BROCKEN PLASTIC DASH MOUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH CAUSES EXTREME DASH BOUNCING AT THE SLIGHTES BUMP. I HAVE LOOKED ON LATER MODEL TRUCKS WITH THE SAME DASH AND THE MOUNTING BRACKET IS DIFFERENT, IT WOULD SEEM FORD DIAGNOSED THIS PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX IT IN PREVIOUS MODELS. I HOPE THAT THIS INFORMATION WILL BE FOLLOWED UP WITH THE MANUFACTURE AND MIGHT CAUSE SOME GOOD.*AK
