Not sure if you have looked in the manual Greeny, but it just says to get it checked by Ford basically... Could be a loose connection under one of the seats, but be careful if you decide to check it out as airbags are !Removed! dangerous things and it will cost a fortune if one goes off (as you probably know). imo, take it down to ford asap and get it sorted, almost definitely a warranty job so should be free. Hopefully they aint busy so you can get it sorted quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 booked in with ford tomorrow, they need the car all day and i don't get a courtesy car :( boohoo hopefully it gets sorted though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Got my car back yesterday after being in the garage all day......All passenger side airbags have failed :( they need the car back for 3 days next week to take the whole inside apart and sort it out. Worst thing is if one fails then they are all switched off so i only have the seat belt currently. il update with what courtesy car i get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny87 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 WHAT THE HELL!?!?!? ALL passenger side airbags failed, just like that? One minute they're fine and then the next minute woosh and they've ALL gone... That really aint good Greeny. I really hope this is an isolated incident, coz that would be a mega expensive thing to fix out of warranty... Anyway good luck with this - I hope they do a good job sorting this out for you Do you know if the Fiesta has seatbelt pretensioners? Also does anybody know what the Fiestas "active head restraint" does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewL Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 A 207! For the love of God, won't somebody please think of the children! Still at least its not a Chevrolet Matiz. ;) Hopefully they'll sort your Fez out quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMC Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'd point-blank refuse a 207, simple as that. If they tried to insist i'd be straight on the phone to Ford Credit cancelling my agreement stating i'm paying for a Fiesta, not a shoddy Pug! Either that or i'd take it, drive it like i'd nicked it, and take it back looking like that rent-a-car-been-banger-racing from the Jackass movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 i would drive it like that if i could be the roads around me are just black ice today after freezing rain last night. i saw 2 ZS's parked outside so i thought id be lucky and get one of those but no luck for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMC Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Best way to practice your driving skills in in someone else's car :P And let's face it, we could all do with honing our ice driving skills, so enjoy some worry-free motoring in the (dis)courtesy car ;) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenymk7 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well again i have got the car back and its still not fixed. currently i have new new airbags on the passenger side and a new airbag sensor, none of these have worked so far. Next order is for a complete new wiring loom for which they will need the car for 3 days. if anyone else has the problem your in for a long haul hopefully its sorted soon :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
