NHTSA Complaint #10157928 — 2000 FORD FOCUS

I PURCHASED A FORD FOCUS 2003, THE CAR HAD 18,000 MILES. I PAID PACIFIC COAST FORD SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS CASH FOR THE CAR, TWO DAY LATER I BROUGHT IT BACK BECAUSE THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THEY RAN TESTS TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER IT WAS BACK FOR THE SAME REASON. ULTIMATELY I HAD TO BRING IT TO LAKEWOOD TRANSMISSION WHERE AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS IT WAS FINALLY FIXED IT. I'VE HAD TO GET MY IGNITION DONE TWO TIMES AND IS READY FOR A THIRD. MALLIONN FORD FIXED THAT FOR ME. NOW THREE WEEKS AGO I ROLL INTO A LADY DOING 5-10 MILES AN HOUR. THE POLICE ARE CALLED BUT SINCE THERE IS NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO EITHER PARTIES THE POLICE SAY THEY WON'T COME. NO POLICE REPORT. IM DRIVING HOME AND MY AIR BAGS DEPLOY SMASHING OUT MY WINDSHIELD . A LITTLE ATE YOU THINK. I CUT ONE AIR BAG OUT AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE HOME. MY CAR NEVER SHUT DOWN, THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENED IS THE SEAT BELT LOCKED. I CAME HOME AND TOOK PIC OF THE CAR NOT A SCRATCH ON MY CAR ONE AIR BAG STILL DEPLOYED THE OTHER YOU CAN SEE I CUT IT OUT AND OF COARSE THE SMASHED WINDSHIELD . I CONTACTED FORD THEY SAID IT WAS AN INSURANCE PROBLEM NOT THEIRS, HOW COULD IT BE THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT MY CAR MALFUNCTIONED. *NM
