2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND FLASHES THE CODE 34. IT THEN STAYS ON AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING. THE CODE MENTIONED ABOVE IS FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT PRE-TENSIONER. SINCE THIS IS PART OF THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT (BELTS MAY NOT LOCK DURING A COLLISION), I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ITEM THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. THE DEALER QUOTED $700 TO REPLACE THE UNIT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.
