| The 'air bag' light on my dash is lighting up. it doesn't stay on constantly, but it does flash, which concerns me. it doesn't go on every time my car is on, but it does flash about 95% of the time. i saw the recall and want to know if my vehicle was involved and if it was fixed.*ak | |||

| I have a concern about the air bag in my car, which is a 1990 mercury grand marquis. the air bag light comes on. it doesn't stay on constantly, but it does 'flicker' or it will stay on for a few seconds. there are times where it doesn't come on at all, but i am still concerned. i was wondering, since there was a recall on the part of the airbag, if i should have it looked at. *ak | |||

| Air bag light flashes continually, the dealer advised that the problem is the center crash sensor and that the airbag would not deploy in an accident. *slc | |||
