    Front drivers airbag light on. Called ford to get it fixed and was told by both dealership and the warranty department that i would have to pay $150 to have it tested. Depending on what the test showed i would be given the cost to repair. Have extended warranty with ford too. They all stated that it probably would not be covered which can run me up to an additional $300. I have paid to have an extended warrant as…

    2011 ford mustang v-6 after owning for about 2 months, we noticed that on occasion the "pass air bag' light in the overhead would flicker on indication that the passenger airbag system is disabled. After a few weeks, the light became more consistent to the point that it would remain on for the majority of the duration of any trip. Made a trip to the shop and the system was "re-zeroed". No issues for a few weeks and…
