Air Bag Light On problems of the 2010 Ford Flex

Got in my car and when I started the vehicle the air bag light along with the traction control indicator light came on, took it to a dealer to see what the issue was and was told it is the restaint control module and to replace it will cost 900. 00. This is obviously a faulty part and should be covered as it directly controls the sir bags and the seat belts. So because I do not have 900. 00 laying around I g=have to hope I am not in a collision until I can come up with the ridiculous amount of money to replace a plug in module that costs less than 100. 00 to manufacture.

After work on the vehicle at two Ford authorized dealership facilities for issues not related to the air bags, the air bag light in the instrument cluster came on and has stayed on since. I had the code read since then and it comes back as an open circuit in the rh front air bag. I realize that the subject vehicle is out of warranty but as a former vehicle electrical engineer a Ford I presume that an inoperative rh front air bag system is dangerous to the driving of the vehicle going forward and would hope that NHTSA would protect me from the fact that Ford's own recall site is telling me there is no issue. The vehicle has never been in an accident, and any issue with the air bag system must be with the design and/or the manufacturing of the respective parts.
