Yeah, but if you can control the vehicle, maybe you don't need the air

Irrelevant--if the airbag is off because the ignition switch turned
itself off, that's a bad situation.

Look, you can argue coulda-shoulda-woulda all you want to, the bottom
line is that the damned switch should stay on until somebody
intentionally turns it off.

My Ranger is one of the vehicles affected, it is the only the
passenger side. There is a switch to turn it off and I have. Now mind
that I have gotten a letter from Ford advising me of the recall
(waiting for the parts to be available) but make no mention that you
should turn it off. No doubt more lawyer fodder for those injured by
shrapnel.

Huh? We're talking about the craptastic GM ignition switch that turns
itself off if you have too many keys on your keychain. I don't think a
Ford Ranger has a GM ignition switch.
