AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY
FORD E250 VAN 9000#GVW. NO REAR SEATS, OWNERS MANUAL STATES A ON/OFF SWITCH FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FOR SMALL CHILD USE, THIS VAN HAS NO SUCH SWITCH, I AM UNABLE TO TRANSPORT MY GRAND CHILD SAFELY. FORD WAS INFORMED OF THIS AND STATED IT WAS A MISS PRINT IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THEY SAY IT WAS DISCONTINUED BUT NOT REMOVED FROM THE OWNERS MANUAL THAT HAD BEEN REVISED TWICE. I HAVE A VAN THAT I CAN NOT TRANSPORT A SMALL CHILD IN. THE VAN WAS JUST BOUGHT NEW FROM FORD THIS MONTH. *JB
