Takata recall - at the time I bought a brand new car. Then at 40,000 miles the airbag light came on when I was driving. I had it checked and they said there was defective airbags that needed to be replaced. Then later they had 2 safety airbags recalls. After I had them replaced the Ford dealership informed me none of my air bags would not work as there was a defected drivers side seat air bag that was defective that needed to be replaced and I would have to pay for that as it wasn't on the recall list and it would cost anywhere from$1,500. 00 to $3,000. 00 it could cost more or less they wouldn't know till they got to the air bag. I refused to pay to have it fixed as it's not my fault. It is Ford who built the car. They should have to fix it!!!! this is a safety issue and my life is at risk!!!!.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Mustang. The contact stated the frontal air bag light illuminated constantly. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who performed a diagnostic test which informed the contact that the drivers seat module was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired since the Ford dealer was no longer in the area. The manufacturer was contacted and informed her to take the vehicle to another dealer for the repairs. The vehicle warranty was valid; however, the dealer was 900 miles from her residence and she would be responsible for the repair cost. It would be too costly to take the vehicle to a dealer in another city. The failure mileage was 16,000.

I have call Ford in altoona PA and they keep telling me they do not have the parts to fix it but they also told me that if my airbag light is on they will fix it right now. I just want the problem fixed. I drive this car everyday it needs fixed now.
