The contact owns a 2000 Ford Explorer. After starting the ignition, the "air bag" warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle has not been inspected for the malfunction. The failure and current mileages were 147,000. The vehicle identification number was unavailable.
: the contact stated the air bag warning light illuminated constantly, and when the front passenger door was shut and the passenger side air bag deployed without warning. The air bag struck the passenger in the vehicle, causing bruises. The vehicle was not taken in for service.
Air bag light waring light came on, indicating that the air bags are no longer working. Initially the air bag warning light would come on periodically and then go off for weeks at a time. Even though this is known problem the dealer stated the only way Ford will install the wiring kit 3l2z-14b455-ab, that fixes the problem, is if the vehicle has less than 50000 miles on it. I had to pay them to install the fix kit, because they stated that the air bags would not work without doing so.
When driving at an undetermined speed air bag warning light appeared on the dashboard. Consumer had informed the dealer about this issue. However, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the problem.
The airbag warning light illuminated, taken in for waranty repair, had several wiring harnesses replaced and the side airbag.
The air bag warning light started to flickered or stayed on while driving. This could result in premature or non deployment of the air bag in an accident. Dealership has only performed a temporary fix to correct the problem. They serviced the truck twice, but the failure still exists.
