Air Bag Light On problems of the 2015 Ford Explorer

Frayed wiring under the passenger side second row seating. This is causing the airbag light to be on and will not allow that airbag to deploy in an accident. Ford is aware of the problem and that it is a common issue that they do not know what causes it. Completely unacceptable for a family vehicle to have this issue and the manufacturer not take care of it. We do not believe this vehicle I safe to transport or have passengers in the back seat now.

Air bag light came on around 58,000 miles. Got it diagnosed by mac haik Ford pasadena. Dealer said it was an issue in the airbag wiring harness under the rear seats and falls under TSB 16-0001. The air bags throughout the car will not deploy because of this major safety issue.

Air bag light came on on the display. Took it in for diagnostics and it was determined to be a wire harness that needs replacing, until almost 900 dollars is spent to have the wire harness replaced all airbags in the vehicle are inactive. This is an issue numerous Ford Explorer issues face and it is pretty close to being held hostage by Ford. Seats and carpeting have to be removed for the wire harness to be accessed, this is a design flaw at best as users can't really access it so how could they harm the system? it is absurd that to have working airbags in our vehicle we have to spend anything if we didn't commit any error, nor is there any real protection if it were to happen again. This is quite a large safety concern, I've seen countless complaints online with this issue and was told by the service advisor at Ford �we have people come in for this all the time�.

Air bag light came on and would not shut off. . Went to dealer . . . It was defective wiring plug under 2nd row seat. . . $1059. 00 to repair. The air bag will not work without it.

Airbag light staying on. Dealer diagnosed rear seat issue and $911. 00 to repair. Ford issued TSB 16-0001 due to it being a common problem.

Since this involves an important safety issue a mandatory recall should be required so the manufacturing defect can be resolved.

Check airbag light is constantly on my 2015 Ford Explorer. Took it in to get checked and the problem is faulty wiring to the middle row seat belt airbags. The fix isn't covered because my car is out of warranty and the fix is $800. Nothing related to the airbags should ever fail and if it does, should be covered regardless of warranty. There may not be a concern with having my rear seatbelt airbags not working, but because the light is always on, I have no way of knowing if there is a fault with my front airbags. When I asked the dealership if this impacted the front airbags, they couldn't confirm nor deny, they said they didn't know. Ford has known about this issues since 2015 when they first issued their technical service bulletin, TSB 15-0113 which was then superseded by TSB 16-0001 in 2016. I called Ford corporate customer service line and they refused to recognize this is a safety item that should be covered.

Dtc b141b, air bag light intermittingly comes on. This issue was reported 2x while under warranty but by the time I would drop at dealer for repairs the light would reset so they couldn't see issue. After warranty expired the light came on more often, and today they were able to see indicator and get dtc. Since it is out of warranty now, it will cost me $750 to get my air bags fixed. I questioned why it cant be fixed because it was reported 2x while under warranty. It is almost like they didnt try to find problem until after warranty expired. Now I don't have working airbags on an expensive Ford Explorer sport. This is making me concerned if Ford has poor wiring harnesses because these vehicles have so many electronic components. Guess I'm sol. I will try to replace this sub par wiring myself tomorrow.

I've only owned the vehicle for a few months now. Its used but doesnt look like its been in any accidents. I did just have my car cleaned at a car wash and they cleaned out the car. I wonder if they hit the wiring under the seats trying to clean the 3rd row seating area?.
