Warning Light On problems of the 2016 Ford Explorer

There is an srs airbag warning light on the dashboard that used to intermittently display. Now it is on consistently when the vehicle is driven. It is due to a circuit failure or a broken cord leading to the driver side middle row seatbelt airbag. Directly from site: https://Ford. Oemdtc. Com/1203/air-bag-warning-light-illuminated-with-dtc-b141b-b141c-2014-2016-Ford-explorer TSB 16-0001 air bag warning light illuminated with diagnostic trouble code (dtc) b141b and/or b141c this is not normal wear and tear but a safety item design by Ford that has failed in the vehicle. Ford dealership claims that this is not warranty failure. But sounds like an electrical and safety issue to me. . . Which should be covered under warranty. The truth to the matter is. . . Ford does not care that a potentially high risk problem has been identified as a failure on the company's end but they don't care enough to do anything about it. Well. . Other than charge the customer close to $1000 out of pocket to fix for a poor design on Ford's end. The Ford dealership service department does not know how this safety feature broke. If we were to get in an accident while the airbag is in this state, it would not deploy and the lives of all passengers in jeopardy!.

Rear airbag seatbelt feature malfunctions by triggering airbag warning light on dash board. Obd diagnostic produces no error codes. Warning light is intermittent and most common after rear passengers use seat belts.

The airbag warning light has illuminated again and we contacted the local Ford dealership in wasilla alaska to report the issue but they remain unhelpful. The quickest appoint is a month away and my wife uses this vehicle for transporting my children to and from school/appointment and basic everyday needs. The airbag light often illuminates when the vehicle is stationary and first appeared when the vehicle hit 34000 miles. I contacted the Ford dealership then, but they said there was nothing to be done unless the light remained on. It appeareds periodically, often when the vehicle is stationary, but also when its being driven. I contacted the dealership and got the same unconcern response. Appointments are often months away and the dealership often dismiss the issue and show no urgency or interest in finding out the cause. The light diappears after a few shutdowns and restarts, sometimes for weeks and months but it has became a common appearence as the vehicle came closer to 38k miles and now 40k miles. Please address the issues or at leadt look into it so Ford can give it the needed attention before myself or someone lose a family member for something that could have been a simple fix. The vehicle is often stationary when the light appear. Sometime its appears when the vehicle is in motion. Base on what I have read from other complaints and from people with the same vehicle model its safe to assume the problem most likely originate from the rear seat, just behind the drivers. If its a wiring issue involving the vehicle safety equipment then this may have the potential for causing a cascade and catastrophic failure in one or more od the vehicle safety features. I will include a picture of the most recent appearence of the airbag light. Started about 18 months ago when the vehicle was about 34. 5k miles and is becoming more common now.

The aiirbag warning light has come on. In taking the car to the dealership, this was traced back to Ford's error code dtc b141b and/or b141c. This error code has to do with Ford installing a defective wiring harness for the rear seat inflatable airbags and could cause them to fail to operate during a collision. The dealership (sheehy Ford, midlothian, va) refuses to repair the vehicle. I also contacted Ford motor company twice (5/29/19 and in April 2019) and they also refuse to repair the vehicle despite it being an obvious safety defect that should be covered under their safety restraint warranty. The fact that Ford is refusing to stand behind the safety of their vehicle has me concerned.
