FORD ESCORT 1997 car safety problem was reported on .FORD ESCORT 1997, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with AIR BAGS . my wife hit a deer on interstate 90 near albert lea, mn. relatively minor damage to the car but sufficient to deploy both air bags. the deployment resulted in a fracture to the dash and windshield that required replacement of those plus all air bag components. the majority of damage to the vehicle was because of air bag deployment. according to information supplied by the dealer, one air bag sensor is unique in this particular vehicle and not readily available. we have waited a number of weeks to get the sensor, otherwise the vehicle has been repaired. the dealer will not release the vehicle as long as a safety component is inoperative. ford says that this is a problem for the dealer to resolve. the dealer says that they have had this part on priority shipment for over three weeks and it still is not available. i believe that the damage may have been sufficient to deploy the air bags though it was unnecessary in this particular crash. however it is unexcuseable that this part causes the majority of damage to the vehicle, plus we are unable to use the vehicle, we lose not only use, we lose warranty, and we do not have a very secure feeling about a part that is so important, yet so rare that it only exists in a few production models. we are grateful for safety devices, we are grateful no one was injured, we would be more grateful to get our car back. why would ford put a safety component on such limited supply? please identify if this is a safety concern for more vehicle owners. thank you, curt kephart should not the entire system be replaced with something more standard?.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3FALP15P4VR.

FORD ESCORT 1997 car safety problem was reported on Apr 17, 2002.FORD ESCORT 1997, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . on april 17 my 1997 ford escort was involved with flying road debris on the interstate. a piece of tire was thrown by the vehicle ahead of me into my bumper cover. what would have started out as a minor scratch in the bumper turned into a broken windshield and two blown airbags, which assisted in no way. they caused burns on the arms and created a driving hazard on the road in which i ended up in the median trying to take evasive action. i feel these airbags should not have exploded in this incident. no contact was made with another vehicle to create such conditions for the airbags to deploy. the airbag deployment was too sensitive. could you please investigate whether other incidents of this nature have occurred? has any type of recall been warranted with premature airbag deployment? potential for injuries were tremendous in this incident. i appreciate any assistance in this matter.*ak.1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FALP13P8VW.

FORD ESCORT 1997 car safety problem was reported on Apr 24, 2002.FORD ESCORT 1997, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER . ford brake engineers designed to brake effort proportioning the master cylinder to allocate 85-90% of the braking to the front wheels and only 10 to 15%to the rear wheels. this proportion is incorrect and results in the inability to stop the car under emergency braking situations. it is not possibly to lockup the rear wheels even with the brake pedal to the floor. when the front wheel break traction on slipery surfaces the car looses its ability to stop in a reasonable length. this miss allocation of braking effort resulted in a near rear end accident in 1997 and resulted recently in totalling the vehicle this april. this braking system should have been recalled years ago to correct the embalance of the braking action. i tried to bring this design problem to the attention of ford motor company in 1995 but it fell on deaf ears. this is a real dangerous safety problem that should have been addressed.*ak.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3FALP15P2VR.

FORD ESCORT 1997 car safety problem was reported on June 02, 2002.FORD ESCORT 1997, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with AIR BAGS . 97 escort was actually purchased for my daughter in 1998, with about 38000 miles on it. my son bought it from her in dec. 01 after he wrecked his ranger. he told me that his air bag indicator light on the dash had come on and wouldn't go off. i am in sales at a ford dealership and asked a couple of service advisors and mechanics about the light and they said that 99% of the time it was usually just a clock spring. figuring no big deal, i told my son to keep driving the car (this was about may,02). later he told me that he kept smelling something burning periodically; i could smell it but thought the odor was almost negligible. next thing i know, he told me the under side of the dash, behind the radio and on passenger side of the vehicle (inside the car) had caught fire and he used the kitchen fire extenguisher to put it out. i told him to also disconnect the battery. i have been selling fords for 11 years and did some digging. there was a technical service bulletin article no. 98-15-20 (supercedes article no. 98-14-3) which addresses this problem and tells the service dept. to replace the module and install a watershield to keep this from recurring. this is eligible under bumper to bumper warranty coverage and safety restraint warranty coverage. since my car has about 98000 miles on and was still running fine before this happened, am i out of luck at getting this car running again. preliminary estimate from a mechanic was about $1100 in parts and who knows how much in labor. would appreciate hearing your current case status with ford motor co. on this. thanks. *ak.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FALP13P8VW.

FORD ESCORT 1997 car safety problem was reported on Dec 09, 2003.FORD ESCORT 1997, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS . we have a 1997 ford escort, and the plastic lens that covers the headlights is extremely frosted. this means when driving at night, the amount of light output by the headlights is reduced, limiting the visibility of the road in front of the vehicle which could be hazardous. when the bright lights are turned on, the additional light output is small, once again due to the frosted lens on both headlights. i have noticed this on another escort, and no doubt it exists on others. a local auto repair shop says it is a defect. the plastic lens should remain clear. i believe ford should replace them. they should remain free of any haze for the life of the vehicle. i checked and to replace both, it would cost i believe something like $250 or $300 dollars! *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FALP13P0VW.
