Description of the problem	Air bag light indicating the air bag would not deploy in case of an accident stayed on. Dealership suggested that the light could come on if i were using an aftermarket cell phone charger while driving the vehicle. Ford issued an alert to dealerships that stated same. I was made to go out and buy replacement chargers while the dealership investigated the problem using my car chargers to experiment. After picking up the vehicle the light had not come back on. I was told the ford instructed them to replace the computer located near the radio. I am still shocked to hear that a cell phone charger could cause an airbag to not deploy. Ford issued an extended warranty for this vehicle given the serious nature of the failure. *nm
