Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2000 MODEL FORD TAURUS LX FROM MARIETTA FORD ON 7/10/2000. THE VIN # IS [XXX]. ON 7/27 MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. UPON INVESTIGATION AND REPAIR THE AIRBAG SENSORS FAILED, CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING THE BRAKES AND WHEELS TO LOCK AND MAKING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO STOP TO AVOID A COLLISION. FORD HAS FAILED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM AND FORWARDING THEM ALL THE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION. IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT SPATE OF DEFECTS REPORTED FROM FORD, IT APPEARS THEY NOW HAVE AN ADDITIONAL ISSUE.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
