Warning Light On Problems of Mercury Sable

The airbag warning light has started coming on intermittently while the car is running on a city street. I don't know why but it appears to be a critical safety problem. The car has never been in an accident and only has 78,000 miles , very low for a 2004 vehicle. Ford motor dealer says there is no recall of any kind on this car. I am a retired senior citizen and this is my only form of transportation.

Airbag warning light frequently comes on and then stays on all day. Dealer says car is safe except when warning lights are on, but that is unpredictable. Dealer has repeatedly made repairs but after a few months the airbag light comes on again. I made initial filing under lemon law and Ford has made final repair but light still stays on. Took Sable in again for diagnostic and dealer got very upset when I would not let them work on it after "final repair" typing "customer refuses safety repair" so they must believe it is not just a light problem but a true safety problem. Can you tell me if there have been failures of Sable airbags in accidents or injuries or fatalities associated with year 2000, 2001 or 2002 Sable airbags? if you do not know, can you advise me or refer me where to find this information?.

While driving both air bags deployed without impact which caused driver to form a violent maneuver in the road, crashing into the vehicle ahead. On several occasions, before the air bag deployment, driver noticed the air bag warning light would flicker whenever going over any kind of bump in the road. The vehicle was rented from hertz rental car company.
