1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2013

Air bag light will not go off. Was told by dealer caused by a defective clockspring. More than likely this cause air bag not to be deployed if needed. . I feel this is a safety issue and Ford should address this problem. From other sources on line this appears to be a major problem with this make and model. Ford refuses to accept responsibility and leaves it up to the owner to have repaired $700. 00.
