Replying to: lostwrench (Feb 16, 2005 4:10 pm) That's ridiculous -- I know of a lot of people who have bought those caps at a Ford parts counter with no problems. You should try a different dealer, or try telling them you need caps for a '98 Ranger with steel rims -- they are the exact same caps. You can also try eBay.   -Andrew L Replies to this message: geekchic (Feb 20, 2005 8:31 pm) lostwrench (Feb 22, 2005 7:04 pm)
#2445 of 3244 Failure of 2002 Crown Victoria Airbags by geekchic Feb 20, 2005 (8:31 pm)
Replying to: a_l_hubcaps (Feb 16, 2005 5:39 pm) On February 4, 2005, I was involved in an accident. A driver in a Nissan ran a stop sign and I tried to miss the car but ended up striking the car while I was going about 45 mph. I struck the Nissan with the right front center and corner of my car directly in front of the drivers side of the Nissan. Both cars were totaled and we both went to the hospital with injuries. Now, my problem, the airbag on the passenger side of my car deployed...the driver's side airbag did NOT deploy. My doctor's said that my injuries are consistent with those that result from hitting the steering wheel...but I don't remember if I did or not. The question...should't the driver's side airbag have deployed? Any one else had this problem? We are in the process of looking for another car now but still have concerns about why the airbag didn't deploy. I have filed a complaint with Nhsta but haven't heard anything from them...

Replying to: a_l_hubcaps (Feb 16, 2005 5:39 pm) Thanks Andrew. After watching the Daytona 500 last Sunday, the set-up I have now is my current favorite. Wheel covers off. Wheels painted gloss black. Clean and bright thin white-walls.

airbag deployment depends on the actual point of impact on the front of your car...often hitting an object (tree, pole, another car) at an angle may cause one, both, or no bag to deploy...you state the right front and center struck the other car...if the driver impact sensor was not impacted directly, driver's bag may not deploy...we have been led ot believe that ANY frontal impact will cause bags to deploy, but it just ain't so...that misinformation has caused more folks than I can count to believe that their airbags are defective and they have a product liability (defective product) suit against the maker...usually ain't so...That does not mean you may not have a defect, just that the impact usually must be fairly specific in the front to cause both bags to deploy...

I will second what marsha7 said. I had a t-bone accident like you but at a slower speed (30mph). The other driver ran a stop sign. My vehicle sustained over $4000 in damage, I believe. However, my airbags did not deploy. I was told by the body shop that the impact wasn't severe enough and that it did not set off the airbag sensors. I was not hurt.   Ward N.

Why doesn't the Ford Motor Company install the new 4.6, 300 hp V-8 from the 2005 Mustang GT into the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis?   It couldn't hurt. Plus, the 05 Mustang GT's V-8 has an aluminum block which weighs 75 pounds less than the 04 Mustang GT's iron block. It also pollutes less.

I was driving my 1993 Crown Vi , I heard A chirp sound then my car died. I have checked the battery & starter both are ok. When I try to turn it over I get a single click then nothing.
#2453 of 3244 All content? by lostwrench Mar 10, 2005 (3:46 pm)
No posts in 10 days. All drivers must be content with their Crown Vics and Grand Marquis'. I am. But then, maybe everyone got rid of them. Hmmmmmm.
