FORD ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST $1,400.00. OEM PART NUMBERS SUPERSEDED BY REPLACEMENT NUMBERS. SHOULD BE RECALLED!!!

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN STARTING CAR, GET 3 DINGS TWICE, PAUSE, REPEAT ... I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A LOCAL DEALER IT WILL COST $600-$1200 TO FIX. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHY HAS NHTSA NOT REQUIRED A RECALL? SINCE I CANNOT AFFORD THE COST, I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT AS I AM SURE MANY OTHERS ARE DOING.

I NOV 2014 I TOOK MY GRAND MARQUIS IN FOR A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE LCM (LIGHT CONTROL MODULE),. WHILE THERE, THEY ALSO REPLACED THE LOWER STEER SHAFT FOR A SECOND RECALL THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF (RECALL 13S08). I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP AT LOW SPEEDS, SO I HAD THE FORD DEALERSHIP CHECK IT. THE SHOWED ME THE LOWER SHAFT THAT HAD BEEN REPLACE UNDER THE RECALL (BY THEM) AND SHOWED ME THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT THAT NOW NEEDS REPLACE DUE TO BEING FROZEN FROM CORROSION. THAT PART WAS ALSO PART OF THE RECALL 13S08, BUT WAS NOT REPLACED. THERE WAS A SECOND RECALL ISSUED ALSO 13R01. NOW FORD IS TELLING ME THERE IS NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT DUE TO AGE AND MILEAGE IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, IT IS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE, THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY FIXED THE FIRST TIME. FORD NOW WANTS TO CHARGE ME $600 FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR A REPAIR THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL.
