During inspection inspecter 38573 reported a diagnostic fault as airbag control module. After failed inspection. I looked for part with the avail. Current part on vechile is 1f2a-14b321-ee. I cannot find a part number matching. I took it to a second mechanic to verify if he infact was right. And I looked at the dagnostic and the airbag did not show up however what did show up after airbag light came on after a full memory clear was code b234 which points to driver safety belt buckle switch short circuit to ground. Or in lames terms saftey belt buckle switch. This should never in a cars life ever happen. If this happened before a accident this could cause death to the consumer. Im the second owner of this vechile I believe so im not sure if theres a recall for this particular issue as I do know theres one similar. My reinspection is due within 6 days. I feel I shouldn't have to pay for a repair for a part on something that should never need to replaced. Especilly when lives are at stake.

Nov 9, 2002, is when we purchased the red Windstar van we were told that the dealership had used it as a promotional car for the owners and their wives. February a complaint officer at Ford told me they were just putting the car in our name it was listed under enterprise still. I called to asked why we were just getting the recall notice for the seat when I had called them 5 times with the call I made 2-7-07 and why had they not sent a notice for the sliding doors.
The vehicle was involved in an accident which caused the middle row seat to come off track and threw the seat into the air. Dealer notified.
