Door lock keeps door from closing shifter cable broken air bag light keeps coming on

Filed Oct 15, 2019 · Airbags · 63,000 miles · MD

Airbag light came on. Asked dealer to check. They said it looked like a wire had been cut. So they said wouldn't fall under warranty. This makes no sense. It should be covered. I have only had my car to ford dealerships for regular maintenance under their plan since purchased new. Airbags have never deployed. I have no idea where these wires are even located. So is this faulty from day one or done while other work regular maintenance or recall work done? Why do I need to pay for almost $500 for repair? Should be warranty work.
