Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Air bag light started blinking when i started vehicle blinked for about 30 sec then went solid, took escape to ford dealer and the got a code from the air bag system and informed me i had faulty wiring on the seat belt connector and there was a replacement wiring harness i needed to install . told then to order it and was informed that air bags were functioning ok even though light was still on. the said i just missed the warranty by 4 days so i had to pay the $200.00 for parts and labor. you would think ford would give a little leeway since this is a faulty part first installed on production line. please advice ford of this thank you. *jb
