NHTSA Complaint #748435 — 1995 MERCURY MYSTIQUE

AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT ON DASH STARTED BLINKING ON APRIL 10, 2001 WHEN VEHICLE HAD 105,000 MILES. TOOK TO DEALER LISTED ABOVE TO FIX A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES AND PAID $559.72 IN TOTAL FOR REPAIRS BUT AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING SHORTLY AFTER THIRD REPAIR ATTEMPT. THIS MEANS THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALSO PREVENTS ME FROM SELLING VEHICLE. WAS ALSO CHARGED FOR FAN MOTOR SWITCH REPAIR THAT FORD HAD ISSUED TWO RECALL/SERVICE BULLETINS ON. WROTE FORD MOTOR COMPANY "CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER" ON JUNE 19, 2001 BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM. CAR NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED SO AIR BAG IS FUNCTIONAL AND SO IT CAN BE SOLD. ALSO FEEL EITHER FORD OR DEALER SHOULD REIMBURSE $559.72 SINCE CAR WAS NOT FIXED -- AND NOW CANNOT BE SOLD UNTIL IT IS!*AK
