| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had an after market radio installed in my car. once i picked up my car i noticied that the air bag light was on. i took the vehicle to ocala lincoln-mercury in ocala florida. the dealer stated that the air bag module went through the radio. the dealer stated that the air bags no longer work. the cost to repair this issue would be about 800.00 dollars. i called ford and they told me that they have no control over a design feature. i f i had to replacethe radio even if it does not work i could not do the replacement i would have to find an original radio or live without one. my issue is the stupid design of placing an air bag module in the radio and that i do not have air bags now. ford told me that since i replaced the radio it is on me. |
