Consumer Description

THE DASH "CHECK AIR BAG" LIGHT IS ON. ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WHILE THE "CHECK AIR BAG" LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. OUT OF REGULAR WARRANTY, DO HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN FROM FORD, BUT I DON'T THINK I SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR DEDUCTIBLE.
