I bought a 2013 Escape 3-4 months ago. It had a clear car fax as well as clean on Ford. Com. Recently the air bag light has been flashing on and as time has gone on, it is staying on longer. I just had it diagnosed at a Ford dealership and was told it was an air bag sensor, with a cost of over $2000. After digging deeper, I discovered that the air bag and sensors were replaced in 2016 under the recalls at the time. I understand that this was done and I am only asking for some financial assistance as I can no longer drive my Escape. I know I bought an older car, but Ford will not help with any assistance and it seems they have an obligation since this problem has been happening over and over. I worked in Ford dealerships for over 40 years. Please help.
Ford recall 14s21 was performed on this vehicle in 2015. I currently have a dtc b10a2. The code indicates that the restraint control module has failed. I contacted the local Ford dealer, cavalier Ford, and was told that the item was out of warranty. The issue is safety. The representative that I spoke with did not understand that the item that was the focus of the original recall has failed. Based on the original recall, the air bags and belt pretensioner could fail in the event of an accident. The replacement of the original item does not provide long term protection since it has failed again.
