Focus 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 53,000 miles
: the contact stated while driving 60 mph on normal road conditions the driver side air bag deployed. There was no impact, potholes nor bumps in the road. There were no injuries, however the driver seat was damaged. The vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined the sensor was too sensitive. When the manufacturer was alerted the dealers determination was confirmed. The manufacturer was not willing to take responsibility. Updated 07/26/06.
