The problem was identified from the ford dealership as a seat belt pretensioner issue. i am not sure what that device does for the air bags assembly, but i feel that ford should have replace this free of charge; regardless of the year of the truck or the miles on the truck. the price was also extreme for that part. $372.18 just for the parts. i paid an total of $631,.65 for this issue. ford case number# cas-16048449-g3b4mi
We were driving on a fm road it was pitch black that night and came up a hill and in the middle of the road was a big black cow, i swereved to try and miss it and not hit it head on but clipped its behind on the right front quarter panel, the next thing i know the cab is full of smoke and smelled like wires burning, so i go to the side of the road and killed it made sure everyone was ok and went to the er to get my children checked out, unknown why they failed to deploy
