WHEN I COLLIDED WITH A FORD TRUCK ALL MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AS THEY SHOULD, I COULD NOT MOVE WITHOUT INTENSE PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK SO I SAT IN PLACE UNTIL REMOVED BY EMS. AFTER PARTIAL RECOVERY I EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND SAW THAT THE SEAT BELT ANCHOR BOLT OVER MY SHOULDER HAD BULLED OUT OF THE PILLAR BEHIND MY SEAT (NOT THE FLOOR). I WAS ON A CITY STREET MOVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH. A TRUCK TURNED IN FRONT OF ME AND WE COLLIDED HEAD TO HEAD. DAMAGE ON MY VEHICLE WAS PRIMARILY ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE.

IF YOU OPENED EITHER FRONT WINDOW WHILE DRIVING, HOT AIR WOULD BLOW FROM UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AT A HIGH VOLUME ON THE BACK OF THE FRONT PASSENGERS LEGS. THE VAN WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT SAID THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND SAW A @3"X 4" OVAL HOLE IN THE FLOOR AND I COULD SEE THE GROUND. FORD HAD NOT INSTALLED THE PLUG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THAT HOLE. THAT HOLE IS DIRECTLY ABOVE A HEAT SHIELD AND THE EXHAUST PIPE AND THERE IS ALSO A CONNECTION AT THAT LOCATION ON THE PIPE. AFTER I DISCOVERED THE HOLE, I RETURNED TO THE DEALER, WHO SAID THAT THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PLUG INSTALLED THERE, AND THEY ORDERED THE PART(S). AFTER A RECENT 12 HOUR TRIP IN THIS VEHICLE FAMILY MEMBERS HAD COMPLAINED OF HEADACHES, AND A COUPLE COMPLAINED OF NAUSEA AND VOMITED. ALTHOUGH ON THAT TRIP WE HAD THE WINDOWS CLOSED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING ON, I WONDER IF WE WERE ACTUALLY SUFFERING FROM BEING EXPOSED TO EXHAUST FUMES.
