Air bag warning light continually illuminates; cable coupling under passenger seat does not complete the circuit which triggers the air bag warning light. This condition occurs in all weather and driving conditions.
For the past year and a half the abs warning light has been illuminated. I took it to the Ford dealership to have the latest recall fixed regarding the reservoir cap. Ford couldn't get the abs warning light to turn off. . . So, hence the light still intermidantly comes on and off. Also, the oil pressure light keeps coming on when I start my car and when I am slowing down. I just had my mechanic change the oil a week ago and and still having the problem. One last thing, the air bag illumination light has been on for the past two years. I took it to my dealer and they couldn't get it to turn off. Am I safe in thinking that my air bag won't deploy just for the heck of it? not sure what to do? but it scares me.
The contact owns a 2002 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the air bag and abs warning lights illunimated on the instrument panel. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 166,000.
On 12/20/2013 I had the lower control arms replaced, and had to pay 1,279. 79. In April 2014 you announced a recall for this same item. For some treason you excluded my car. Considering my car required the exact item replaced only 4 months prior, I am requesting to be reimbursed for the cost of that repair. Also a complaint I have is the warning light for the airbag will not go out. A defect that does not seem repairable. In light of the airbag recall I am concerned I am sitting in front of a loaded gun. I will keep this complaint where my family can find it and respond accordingly if something happens to me after you have been notified of this complaint.
