After a rear-end collision, my passenger front air bag light comes on intermittently. Because of this, I don't know if the air bag was compromised or if the collision caused a faulty sensor. I can't get an answer from Ford.

"takata recall" I was informed of the recall of the airbags on my vehicle, by letter, july, 2016. Since that time, I have contacted my local dealership for a replacement part, to no avail. There are no parts that have been made to replace the defective ones in my vehicle, and the company, as you know, is bankrupt.

The air bag warning light will come on, will stay on until you cut the car off, but then it may not come back on next time. It's inconsistent. Sometimes it stays on while the car is running, sometimes it goes off a few seconds after cranking like it is supposed to do
