MY QUESTION IS WHY DID THE AIR BAG NOT DEPLOY? THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED ON THIS FORM REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING ON THE AIRBAG MAYBE 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR AGO. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY UNLESS ACCIDENT WAS AT 28 MPH AND LIKE HITTING A STONE WALL WITHOUT BREAKING. MY SON REAR ENDED A NEON HITTING DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE TRUCK BUMPER CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE TRUNK OF THE NEON. THE TRUCK DAMAGE IS THAT THE BUMPER MUST BE REPLACED AS IT BENT AND CRACKED ALONG WITH BENDING THE 1/4" BRACKESTS THAT ATTACH IT TO THE FRAME. THE GRILL ALSO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP COMMENTED THAT IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT ON ITS OPERATING CORRECTLY ALONG WITH 28 MPH COMMENT. WHO'S TO SAY THE BULB IS NOT OUT OR THEY CONNECTED THE WIRES WHEN THE WORK WAS DONE OR IT'S JUST NOT OPERABLE. BEING A LIFE SAVING DEVISE I'M A BIT SHAKEN BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A GOOD FEELING THAT IT WOULD DEPLOY. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CLARIFY IF WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IS CORRECT THAT IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY UNLESS ACCIDENT WAS AT OR ABOVE 28 MPH? THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT GIVE ME THE IMPRESSION THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT EITHER UNLESS OF COURSE I WAS BILLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.*AK

FRONT FUEL TANK LEAKS JUST ABOVE SEAM LINE APPROX 1AND1/2 INCHES ABOVE SEAM. THE SEAM IS AT AN ANGLE.THE FRONT OF THE TANK IS PITTED. THERE IS A PROTECTIVE COVER ON THE FRONT THAT IS MOLDED TO THE SHAPE OF THE TANK .THERE ARE NO DRAIN HOLES IN THE COVER. IF THE COVER IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE SEAM THE WATER WILL STAY ABOVE THE SEAM. THE DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW MOISTURE TO RUN OFF IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A FOWARD PITCH AS MINE IS AT MY HOME.ALSO IF YOU LOOK IN BETWEEN THE BED AND THE CAB , AT THAT POINT YOU SEE THAT THE TANK SLOPES FOWARD TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO AT THAT POINT YOU SEE THE PROTECTIVE COVER JUST AT THE CAB LINE. HAD THE COVER GONE PAST THE BEDLINE MORE THAN LIKELY THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN. I HAVE PATCHED THE FRONT TANK BECAUSE OF THE FUMES,BUT I DO NOT USE IT.

FRONT BUMPER BOLTS MISSING. FOUND RECALL 94S79 WHICH ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM. LOWER RIGHT BUMPER RETENTION CLIP IS BROKEN. CONTACTED VALLEY FORD. OASIS DID NOT LIST ACTIVE RECALL AGAINST MY VEHICLE. NO GREEN PAINT ON BUMPER TO INDICATE FACTORY CORRECTION. VALLEY FORD SERVICE MANAGER (VERY NICE LADY) INFORMED ME THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL. SHE ASKED ME "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?". I TOLD HER "NEVER MIND I'LL FIX IT MYSELF". CHECKED ON PARTS AVAILABILITY WITH PARTS DEPARTMENT. PARTS AVAILABLE COST $1.03. PARTS MAN AND I BOTH COMMENT ON LOW COST. FORD USUALLY CHARGES AT LEAST $3/BOLT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT OASIS DID NOT LIST THIS VEHICLE IN RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE FAILURE IS EXACTLY AS DETAILED IN THE RECALL. *AK
