AIR BAGS
1ST. TIME FORD TOOK A WEEK AND A HALF TO SEND A SENSOR, 2ND TIME THEY SENT A (RCM) COMPUTOR MODULE, 3RD TIME STILL WAITING AFTER 3 WEEKS FOR FORDS VENDER TO SEND ANOTHER SENSOR. I HAVE KNOW IDEA IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IF WE ARE IN ACCIDENT OR IF IT WILL SUDDENLY DEPLOY BY ITSELF. SINCE THE SAME PART KEEPS GETTING REPLACED AN THE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON I DON'T THINK FORD IS SURE THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. PLUS I THINK WAITING FOR 3 WEEKS FOR THIS PART IS CRAZY.
