At 200k miles I got an air bag light on my guage cluster. The blinking code corresponded to a bad connection at the CLOCKSPRING. I also noticed my cruise control and horn were also inoperable, also an indicator of a bad CLOCKSPRING. Ford part number 1l5z-14a664-ab is the replacement part and is currently unavailable, for the last 6 months. This part covers a few different models and has been exhausted by the dealers when correcting the Airbag recall. The dealer can not give me a date on a replacement part.
The passenger side module - air bag was replaced twice first 3/17/ 2017 and 8/23/2018 and the 2nd time they replaced it with outdated parts. Report recall part 573 safety - 21V-081. The replacement has not started yet but I think there should be a lawsuit also because they did the replacement anyway to satisfy the goverment and they put our lifes at risk
I had the air bags replaced, after new airbags were installed. Air bag warning light was flashing, code 27, which means passenger air bag bypass module # F81B-14bz68-ad. Module had a bad indicator lamp which in turns disables the entire air bag system. So in my opinion Ford should repair this so that I can have air bags to protect me. With this lamp not fixed I have no air bags, so the recall was useless. I need this fixed and think it should be considered a safety issue along with the air bag recall. I spoke to Ford and they informed me that it was or maybe is an issue, no commitment there. I cannot afford the inspection costs but you tube gave me all the information I need to know, the $89 for inspection and $125. For parts and installation are way out of my budget. This is a safety matter that needs to be addressed. Yes this is a constant condition to the Ford Ranger as it sites now. The you tube site I used is: Www, youtube.com/watch?V=U5mayzjctm, so anyone can diagnosis my truck. Don't need $89

I received a letter from Ford for safety recall notice 17S42/NHTSA recall 17V787 &17V788 for my 2005 Ford Ranger in early August 2018. I immediately called my local Ford dealer, matthews Ford in norwich, N.Y 13815, to schedule an appt. For repair. On 8/20 I received another letter from motor vehicle dept. Stating not to drive my vehicle until repaired, I called matthews Ford again on 8/23 to check on when parts would be in to make an appt. And I was told they do not know how long it would be. It has been over a month since I received my first notification and I have had to drive my vehicle. I don't know what else I can do except wait for the Ford dealer to get the parts necessary for repair. I asked the Ford service manager about a loaner vehicle and was told I would have to check with Ford and they would send me to a rental Agency such as hertz. I have not contacted anyone else at this time, I hope you will be able to help me with this situation.
