Airbag light on/ flashing. Shop says "passenger side seat belt retractor assembly" needs replaced. I switched it with a known working part, didn't fix the issue. Upon further research I found that it is a known issue. Source: [xxx] April 1, 2011 manufacturer communication number: sis-21841 components: air bags, electrical system NHTSA id number: 10038965 manufacturer communication number: sis-21841 summary: comm-trans lund: some 2009-2011 models may have the air bag inicator flashing with a stored trouble code. This is a software problem. I have contacted both local dealerships, as well as Ford corporate. The remedy they all 3 offered: take it in for diagnostics (I'm already fully aware of the issue) which will cost me around $300, then they will tell me if there's even a possibly solution. They were completely unwilling to tell me if they could fix the software issue without first paying for their diagnostic service, even though it's a known and recorded issue, with the NHTSA id number: 10038965 as well as the manufacturer communication number: sis-21841. Upon researching complaints, I have found that I am by far not the only person who has this exact issue. Note: "date of incident" is when I purchased the vehicle, mileage is the mileage at the time of purchase, it has had the light on since before that date and mileage. I tried to resolve this issue then, and recently have been trying again, in hopes that there has been a fix found finally, to no avail.

"takata recall" on may 11th 2019, my auntie and I were involved in a accident that was no fault of my own. A black Toyota stop in front of when us, I hit the brakes on impact, the airbags deployed and blowup in my face, knocking out one of my crowns and shift my teeth, I went to the dentist office after leaving the hospital, the doctor told me I swallowed particles and my left side of my face would not stop hurting, I also let the dentist know the airbag blowup in my face, he found my root canal was framed in half, in order to fix the problem I would have to pay 12,000. 00 of my own money to repair the tooth and other damage teeth that were shifted or I would loose them in the future, I haven't smiled sense. I was driving north bound on highway they were traveling east bound at a four way crossing into a gas station.

My wife was in a accident involving her 2011 Ford Escape. She was hit in the front end by another vehicle and her car was totaled. Her air bag didn't deploy!! she was beat up and bruised quite a bit but was lucky to not have any broken bones. I believe that if either vehicle were traveling faster than they were she might had been severely injured if not killed. I sent Ford the info including the VIN number 3 days ago and have not had a reply. Do you think this was an anomaly or have you heard other Ford Escapes with the same issue?? my wife had stopped at a stop sign and said she looked both ways then proceeded to pull making a left turn when the other vehicle approached her from her left and struck her in the front end on an angle. The entire front grill and bumper were both knocked off pushing the radiator into the engine. My wife was cited for failure to yield.

I just got off the freeway on ramp and slowed for traffic. Traffic just started to go so, I just took my foot of the brake and slowly proceeded to move, when out of nowhere I was thrown forward and out of my seat. The violent impact pushed my vehicle into a truck in front of me, that impact caused me to fly backwards and my driver's seat broke. My concern is that the airbags didn't go off and my seat broke causing injury. The seat should have never broke.

My fiance was driving my Escape and had an accident she rearended a truck and none of the airbags went off and the motor was pushed all the way back to the firewall.

The vehicle was taken into a Ford dealership to be serviced and after that the control module for the airbags went out. The part had to be ordered and while we were on vacation the steering began locking up and the traction control lights began showing disabled. Also, the car began saying to resync something because the tire pressure was low when it was just fine. After returning from vacation and the steering column totally locking up several times, the dealership now tells us that additional control modules are out. When the steering locks it requires stopping no matter where you are at and turning off the vehicle to reset and then starting it again. This probably happened a dozen or more times on busy highways. This vehicle is roughly three years old and they can't even say why the modules are continuing to go out and if fixing them will even solve the problem. The dealership also indicated that the traction control issue could cause the vehicle to roll on curvy roads. I spoke with customer service and they said to bad, this is not on thier list of items that they have to fix. They will let engineering know but no guarantee that they will even respond to this issue. Will never buy a Ford again in this case as this is going to cost roughly $2500 - $3500 to fix and nothing to say it won't go out again. I have never had an electronic control module go out on any other vehicle let alone after 3 years and Ford is not helpful.

The consumer stated when she was rear ended, her head flew forward and hit the steering wheel with her mouth, then flew backward, where the back of the seat collapsed, which allowed her to fly back and land at a partially reclined position. For approximately 20 minutes, she laid in the vehicle, suffering from muscle spasms, trying to determine if she could stand up. The consumer was diagnosed with a concussion and whiplash.
