Airbag warning light frequently comes on and then stays on all day. Dealer says car is safe except when warning lights are on, but that is unpredictable. Dealer has repeatedly made repairs but after a few months the airbag light comes on again. I made initial filing under lemon law and ford has made final repair but light still stays on. Took sable in again for diagnostic and dealer got very upset when I would not let them work on it after "final repair" typing "customer refuses safety repair" so they must believe it is not just a light problem but a true safety problem. Can you tell me if there have been failures of sable airbags in accidents or injuries or fatalities associated with year 2000, 2001 or 2002 sable airbags? If you do not know, can you advise me or refer me where to find this information?

Koons lincoln-mercury service technicians have stated that the emission light stays illuminated because vehicle has a defective fuel vapor transfer system. Air bag light was illuminated due to a defective left front air bag sensor. Brake lights inoperative due to a switch stop lamp and broken wire. This defect almost caused me to get rear-ended in stop and go traffic on baltimore's beltway.
