Description of the problem | On 7/31/14, my ford focus hatchback accelerated while parking and crashed into a high chain-link fence. Significant front end damage to the vehicle was repaired. The airbags never deployed when i hit the fence and small tree and i was lucky that no one was near the car when it malfunctioned. Subsequently, the car has been parked! I have tried to communicate with ford motor co. By fax, letter and phone over the last 2 months. The dealership wants nothing to do with this car. We are reluctant to sell and want this car off the market. We have no voice. I continue to read all complaints on your site. When are you going to do anything about it! I can't put my grandkids in this car and i don't want anyone's child in this car. Please call me. We need to get this car off the market before someone is injured or worse! |
