Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The air bag light came on in our 2003 ford escape. we have taken it to a ford dealership who informed us that the sensor has failed for no apparent reason and that if we are in an accident, the air bags will not deploy. the cost for this repair is quoted at approximately $500.00. at this point we are not in a financial position to make this repair and we are forced to drive the vehicle and hope that we will not have an accident. this is clearly a safety issue. there has been no prior warning nor any accident that would cause this failure. *tr
