I agree with this...I understand that our warranty had expired...but it's not like my radio stopped working or the the power window broke, the air bag popped in her face. It's not like the part was worn down from use. Imagine if she was driving and it popped. What if she got into an accident because of it. And yes I think she shit her pants too. She said she thought that someone shot her...

If they don't cover it, see a lawyer.

If they don't cover it, I'm gonna see someone that's for sure. BTW...their estimating it to be around 600.00 if we have to pay for it.

Damn imagine if she were driving down the freeway and that happened! They should fix it but you'll probably have to fight them for it.

Your warranty is up. No, if it happened when driving, coulda happened here, there, etc. Warranty is up. If your air bag light was flashing as you said it was prior, you should have looked into it right away. Something was wrong and you ignored it.

I'd guess that Ford will "work with you" on the price but don't think they should/would cover all of it.

Goodluck either way

If youre 5,000 miles out of your warranty and this happened, which shouldnt have and never really does, the dealer should cover it as goodwill to the customer. Try talking to the service manager, if that dosent work take it to another dealer.

Thanks Marc...

So far the service guys at two different dealerships say that they've never seen something like this happen.

Be extremely nice and respectful and hopefully they will help, but if you go in there with an attitude they can resort to the "black n white" of the warranty.

That is good advice. And if they deny you, start screaming. Make sure everyone hears you and make sure everyone (Customers) in there knows what happened.

i have been a service manager for several years and this will be covered due to a safety issue and they should use your vehicle to inspect it and see if a recall needs to be put out. this will be fixed with no out of pocket expense due to safety issue. just press the safety issue

I'll definately be nice and courteous when I go in later today as I always am. But if they don't help out in any way, I'll be sure to let everyone know what I think...


Thanks 1fast89gt...I hope their thoughts are the same.

I needed that truck to tow my stang tomorrow too.

thats gay i understand that the warranty is up, but there is no way that sht should just go off like that, i dont give a fuck if the light was blinking or not. so what if she was on her way to ford and that shit went off on the freeway

Posted by SmokinLX (Member # 1684) on :
 
Yeah if the cvar has'nt ever been in an accident then they should suck it up. I bet this has happend more than once over the year's.
 

---

Posted by Avengeance (Member # 5163) on :
 
Shit.. I just realized that my Moms Eddie Bauer Expedition is the same year.

Ill have to let her know about this... to watch the fuck out if that light comes on.

The car is has never had any electrical work done on it including stereo stuff.

I was thinking that they would have ended up being responsible in the long run if that air bag popped while she was driving and she cause an accident... Just like the Firestone tires that kept blowing a while back. The thing that sucks is that this seems to be the first case.

I think the guys at Future might actually help up out.

Thanks guys...
