Yes it's safe to drive. Could be a simple resets with a diagnostic scanner or dirty connection.

Sloppy gear shifter on 94 ford e150 van how do i fix it

I can only hope it is not the same as a '94 car!
I just completed the repairs on a 94 Ford car, and on it, here is what we found.
The shift linkage is inside the steering column.
There are 2 black nylon/plastic bushings that wear out, and when they do, the shifting gets sloppy first, and then the silly thing falls apart, and you get stuck in gear!
You have to remove the steering wheel and the steering column to fix this, but it is not really hard to do so.
Be blessed as you find your answers.

THE GEAR IS STUCK IN REVERSE, CAN'T START THE CAR

It sounds like a linkage in steering column or at transmission has come undone or broken. You should be able to see the arm that comes down from the steering column to the transmission if you crawl under with a light. That's could be an an easy fix, but getting in the steering column is best left to professionals. Hope that helps.

The air bag light is on.Without any bumps,pot holes,super sudden stops

The light is telling you there is a problem with a sensor or other component. You need to have the body computer scanned for trouble codes to proceed.

A warning light showing "steering lock malfunction" came on then disappeared - twice. What's the problem and is the car safe to drive?

If the SID Unit (or profiler) displays "Steering Lock Malfunction" get to your local dealer promptly. There has been issues with the steering lock module and they are now being replaced by Saab under warranty. The module is located under the steering column and must be replaced depending on the part number on the module itself. See your local dealer to find out if your module needs to be replaced.
