Takata recall waiting on parts

- Great Bend, KS, USA

Air bag light came on at erratic times. Took it to Ford dealer, it turns out the internal fault with restraint control module. This repair will cost almost $900 to repair a safety item that is not a worn part but a electrical module that deploys the airbag. I find it difficult to believe that such an item is the owners responsibility. If it is an item that wears, yes, mechanical, yes but this is a module that is designed for the emergency deployment of the safety airbags and Ford holds no responsibility for the failure. Mileage and age should not come into play on this issue. I pray my family remains safe, I cannot afford this cost.
