Description of the problem | June 24, 2012 dear ford motor company, i own a 2005 ford f150 4x4 crew cab truck, which i have had since 2005, and which you have excluded from your present recall of 2005-2006 ford f150's. However, it has presented an illuminated air bag light every time it has been started now for over 2 years. This i have learned is the single warning sign capable of warning of its faulty air bag system. I am aware that nhtsa wanted ford to recall 1. 2+ million trucks and that ford has avoided such a wide-spread recall saying they had made production changes that minimized the number of affected trucks, and that nhtsa sent another letter warning ford that if they didn't agree to a complete recall, the agency could convene a formal public hearing to compel a recall, and that now ford has agreed to recall 2004 through 2006 f-150 vehicles, approximately 1. 2 million more trucks. Yet still my truck is a 2005, the very year model included in your original recall, yet for whatever reason my 2005 ford f150 is excluded, leaving me to chance the safety of my family's life every time any of us get in my truck (which only likes 2 payments being paid for). By the way, i am a mother of 3, daughter of 2, sister to 1 and the girlfriend of a mean biker, should i parish my children would be orphans, but more importantly to ford motor company, should any of my children be so much as harmed due to this well depicted issue, ford motor company is going to wish my children were orphaned! [xxx] p. S. I also come from a family of ford enthusiasts, thus i have great faith in your loyalty and therefore will allow you a minimal amount of time to include my 2005 ford f-150 in your recall (and notify me of it), before i forward this correspondence to the nhtsa and everywhere else additional research instructs me to. |
