Air Bag Light On problems of the 2014 Ford Explorer

The wiring harness to the airbag system became detached due to the placement of the wires and with the driver seat and passenger seat automatically adjusting, it can cause the wires to come out of place. The entire wiring system that connects to the seatbelts and impacts the airbag system had to be replaced. The airbag light was lit up on my dash & I was told none of the airbags worked in my vehicle if this light was on. The repair had to be done as a safety measure to ensure the air bags would work and function properly. The vehicle was turned on one day and the airbag light on the dash came on and continued to stay on.

Air bag light came on which disables all airbags in the vehicle, making an unsafe vehicle operations issue. Upon diagnoses it appears Ford moco is aware of a faulty issue under the second row seats for the optional seatbelt airbags, as issued with Ford TSB 16-0001, to date Ford has not issued a recall to service the know issue. The average repairs are costing consumers around $1,000 +/- for the repairs, thus too many consumers are bypassing the repairs due to the higher costs and thus driving �newer/modern� vehicles without standard safety equipment active.

During my travel into work today the airbag light illuminated. After doing some online research this appears to be a continual problem with this model year. Ford has even released a technical bulletin on this issue. (https://Ford. Oemdtc. Com/1203/air-bag-warning-light-illuminated-with-dtc-b141b-b141c-2014-2016-Ford-explorer). This fault shuts down the airbag system and could result in loss of life. Ford has recognized this as recall.

Airbag light keeps coming on due to faulty wiring , costs 600 to repair . This is second Ford car with this same issue. I was told problem was in back seats. No one ever uses back seats.

Vehicle under srs warranty, 5 year -60,000 mile warranty and airbag light illuminates. Taken to dealer and complaint with Ford. Notified it is a bad connector in the rear seat to inflatable seatbelt airbags. Airbag system will not work unless replaced. Not covered under warranty. This is a known Ford issue with tsbs issued and is a safety issue since srs system will not work. This is a safety issue that Ford is ignoring.

For a significant amount of the vehicle's life, the airbag light has illuminated a majority of the time. I did not believe this was an issue as I was instructed that a light would come on if the vehicle thought something/someone was in the passenger seat, but did not meet minimum weight requirements. It has come to my attention when my vehicle was in for a non-related repair, that this is not the case and that the light actually indicates a fault with the airbag system. So I have been driving around for probably 40,000 miles with faulty airbags in the car in which I am the original owner. I called Ford who expressed little to zero concern until I let them know I would be filing a complaint. According to the dealer, the issue is that the connectors are corroded (the indication was multiple connectors are corroded). This seems like a really big issue - I live in oregon, so not quite a dry climate, but it's not abnormal. The person I spoke to at Ford was named "ann".

Our 2014 Ford Explorer sport has suddenly lost its power steering making it very difficult to drive and has a tendency to jerk the wheel left and right when driving. This I'm told is not under warranty and will cost approximately $1800 to fix. I believe the three years prior to mine had the same problem and were recalled. The Explorer has not been in any accidents and has 73k miles. The airbag light also came on when the steering issue started however the Ford service department said that it was unrelated and that would be another expense after the steering was repaired.

My Explorer has an intermittent airbag light that comes on and goes off. I've taken it into the dealer and they never find anything wrong; but the issue persists. I'm concerned an airbag may inflate incorrectly or not at all in an emergency.
