Consumer Description

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. FORDS OWNERS MANUAL SAID THE BAG WOULD MALFUNCTION AND POSSIBLY DEPLOY. TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ASAP. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERS POSSION SINCE 10/19/00 AND I AM TOLD THAT THE DEFECTIVE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. HOW CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE? I USE THIS VEHICLE IN MY WORK AND DEPEND ON IT. IT'S BEEN 5 WORKING DAYS & A WEEKEND AND IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL BE NEXT WEEK BEFORE (NO PROMISE) THE PART ARRIVES. WHAT CAN YOU DO? I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO GET THIS AUTO FIXED FOR ME HOWEVER, BEING OF IMPORTANCE OF SAFTY, REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR AN ITEM SHOULD NOT BE TOLORATED FOR ANY REASON! IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD? YOUR CONSIDERATION WILL BE APPRECIATED.*AK
