Air bags are rendered inoperative by failure of a sensor in the driver's side seat belt pretensioner. Flashes code 3-4. part in question is oem number 2W7Z54611B09aaa. Ford advises that part is discontinued, no replacement parts available. No other explanation. This leaves two choices: Drive without airbag protection or replace vehicle. This car has less than 16,000 miles on it and need not be replaced. How can a safety critical item be discontinued in less than 6 years. This part is required to be replaced in the event of an airbag deployment and, as in my case, when the sensor failed.
