| Description of the problem | My mercury milan, i started noticing multiple problems of my air bag back in 2010, that as i first start the car, that the air bag light on the control panel would be on, after about 15-20 minutes it would then go off, but now on all the time due to a module under the passenger seat. The 2nd problem is of my transmission, while in traffic, alot of stopping and starting, i noticed my transmission seems to slip out as if i'm in neutral, i've seen there was a recall or talk of it for this problem of some of the newer models, but the year for 2007, there is nothing for it, so this problem started well before the years that were listed, this concerns me as if i needed to move out of the way for some odd reason, specially while having family in the car, there'd be now way of doing so quickly if desired, and would absorb an impact of any . So the 2 items listed concerns me as a consumer for "safety reason" specially when driving my children or grandchildren with me. |
