: the contact stated the air bag light intermittently illuminates. The vehicle was seen by a dealer. The service department determined both front seat belts needed to be replaced due to the integrated air bag/seat belt system. The entire front seat belts were replaced accordingly but the air bag light later illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The service department suggested replacing the seat belts again. Updated 3/3/2006 - the consumer has also had to replace the rear washer motor, odometer and has had problems with the automatic door locks.

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer. My airbag warning light notified me of a problem. When I took the car into the dealership, they said that "both front seat belt pretensioners" needed to be replaced. I just find it odd that they would both happen to break at the same time. It sounds more like defective parts.
