In August 2001the air conditioner started making a noise and then the air bag light and chime started. We took the car to the brandon Ford dealership. They fixed the air conditioner. But they said it would be at least $1000 to just look at the air bag. We do not have that kind of money to waste on air bags. I was eight months pregnant at the time and we asked the dealership if the air bags would deploy. They said the air bags would not deploy. Now I read an article stating that the air bags in the same type of vehicle have deployed for no reason. So, my husband, my unborn child and myself were at risk and we were under the impression everything was fine. A year later the air conditioner stops working and my husband looked under the dash to see if he could figure out why it stopped working. He found the wires connecting to the air conditioner were all melted. This could have started a fire and again my husband, my son and myself were at risk because the real problem was never really fixed. I read in the article that fires also had occurred for no reason. I would like to know how we will be protected from these failures that have occurred. Thank you for your time.
