STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE, FEELS LIKE IT COULD COME. AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, CRUISE CONTROLNOT WORKING CORRECTLY. ALL THESE THINGS ARE SAFETY RELATED AND SHOULD BE FIXED. I THINK STEERING WHEEL SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE, SINCE IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 FORD CROWN VICTORIA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE CARPORT, THE MIDDLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL MELTED FROM THE AIR BAG MODULE INSIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. AS A RESULT, THE AIR BAG IS HANGING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND THERE IS A STRONG SMELL PRESENT FROM THE AIR BAG MELTING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL, HOWEVER, THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER AND POWERTRAIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 147,000.
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED, INDICATING A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE SYSTEM. DEALER REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *AK
I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THIS VEHICLE WAS USED AS A TAXI/POLICE VEHICLE AND IF ANY RECALL SERVICES WERE PERFORMED ON IT. HYANNIS FORD INC. STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT I SAW MANY LISTED ON THIS SITE, I HAVE QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THE SUSPENSION/AIRBAGS/TORQUE CONVERTER,ETC. COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN FIND OUT IF THIS VEHICLE HAS RECALLS ON IT AND IF I CAN GET THE WORK DONE. I HAD IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND I DON'T THINK THE DEALER WILL GIVE ME STRAIGHT ANSWERS. THANKS FOR ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME. *AK
