LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT RIGHT SIDE DOES NOT WORK.

AS I WAS DRIVING. 35MPH MY FRONT WHEEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAD SNAPPED OFF CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. LONG STORY SHORT. I'M GOING THRU A FINANCIAL CRISIS. MY CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA TO MY HOUSE. I NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. WHY DID THE POLICE TOW MY CAR AWAY FROM MY HOUSE? SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T. TRANSPORTATION IS ESSENTIAL TO ME. PLEASE I NEED HELP. *TR

THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WHILE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE DEPRESSED. ONCE IN A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR A SPOT TO CLEAR.THE SECOND TIME WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I HELD THE BRAKE DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD WHILE THE CAR DID A BURN OUT AND I NOTICED THE TRACTION LIGHT COME ON. IT THEN JUST WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. SOMEONE IN FRONT OF THE CAR (ANOTHER DRIVER OR PEDESTRIAN) CAN SERIOUSLY GET HURT OR KILLED.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS CODE 3 3 THEN DINGS AN ALARM 5 DINGS X 5 TIMES EVERY 30 MINUTES, LIGHT STAYS ON. I UNDERSTAND CODE 33 OR 34 ARE SEAT BELT PRETENTIONERS THAT ARE KNOWN TO FAIL ON MID 2000'S FORD VEHICLES. MINE IS 2006 GRAND MARQUIS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN MATERIALS CAUSING A SAFTEY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND PASSENGERS. THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED UNTIL REPAIRED AND THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A DRIVER SIDE PRETENTIONER HIGH RESISTANCE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THEY REPLACE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SINCE THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL MOST LIKELY ALSO FAIL SOON ACCORDING TO HIS EXPERIANCE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE PRETENSIONERS REPLACED SINCE IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND SAFETY HAZARD CAUSED BY FORD PARTS.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND HAS A DINGING NOISE THAT GOES THROUGH A CYCLE OF DINGING 5 TIMES THEN HAS BREAK OF APPROXIMATELY 15 MIN THEN DOES IT AGAIN. HAS NOT BEEN IN ACCIDENT AND SHOWS NO SIGN OF PROBLEM WITH ACTUAL PARTS.

LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT, AFTER HITTING THE BRAKE AND THE OFF BUTTON FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL, TO NO EFFECT, I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND TURN THE CAR OFF.

DEALERSHIP IS BACK LOGGED ON ORDERS FOR NEW SEATBELT ASSEMBLIES, THAT IN SOME CASES MAY TAKE OVER TWO WEEKS FOR ORDER TO CLEAR. ASSEMBLIES ARE FAULTY BY DESIGN. NTSB SHOULD INVESTIGATE FORD AND MAKE A MANDATORY RECALL FOR THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS AND MULTIPLE YEARS THAT USE THIS ASSEMBLY TYPE, SINCE THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY RISK, AND A DESIGN FAULT.
