NHTSA Complaint #10899708 — 2012 FORD EDGE

EARLIER THIS MONTH (AUGUST 2016) THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED LIT ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE. BROUGHT TO STEVENS FORD IN MILFORD CT. TOLD IT THAT THE SENSOR WIRE/DEVICE WAS "FRAYED" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR PERSON SAID THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE SEAT MOVING BACK/FORTH. WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. COST TO FIX WAS OVER $400. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS BARELY USED. THE SENSOR/WIRE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN "FRAYED" BY MINIMAL USE. WAS TOLD IF I DIDN'T FIX THAT THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. THERE IS A FLAW IN THEIR DESIGN IF THIS SENSOR IS IN AN AREA WHERE IT CAN BE DAMAGED EASILY.
