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.

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.

Airbag light has been coming on intermittently for over 1 year. Diagnostic test determined there is a faulty connection to the 2nd row inflatable seatbelt sensor. Ford issued a service bulletin to replace the wire harness pig tail connection. When the air bag light is illuminated due to this faulty connection, all of the air bags in the vehicle are deactivated. This is extremely dangerous, and my family has been driving the car in this condition for over a year. Upon further research, numerous cases exist reporting the same issue. Please address this safety issue.

Driving down the road and the air bag light comes on and now it wont go off. It stays on 24/7. This is an issue in many 2016 Ford Explorers and it has yet to be recalled. This is a safety issue.

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.

While driving down the highway the back seat in folded down position caught fire and burned a 12 inch hole through top and bottom of seat. To our knowledge the seat heater was not on the indicator light was not on.

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�.

Upon starting my car for the third time that day my air bag light came on and does not go off. I also have a problem with it occasionally not registering my drivers seatbelt as buckled or unbuckled.

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. This is a common problem with many years of Ford Explorer. They should have to pay for the repair. It is a safety problem !!!! light stays on whether the car is moving or not.

I took my vehicle in for an airbag light and was told that the wire assembly located under the rear seat was damaged/faulty. This seems to be a very common issue (see links below) that required me to replace the wiring and was not covered under warranty but is a safety item that is well documented by others in online forums.

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 comes on and stays on for weeks at a time and then comes off. This tends to happen when it rains.

Air bag light keeps coming on. Right now it is at the dealership, hopefully to be fixed.

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. Due to the high cost of repair some customers do not have the repair completed resulting in an unsafe situation. Since this involves an important safety issue a mandatory recall should be required so the manufacturing defect can be resolved.

Airbag indicator light stays on. Checked with obd, no codes. Took to dealer and they stated that they would need to remove all the seats and rewire. Researched and found TSB 16-0001which supersedes TSB 15-0113. . Read more...

My driver side airbag light is on my dash I have plugged in and unplugged all of the seatbelts reset the airbag light and it stays off for a while. This is definitely a safety issue I understand it is either a sensor or they are having problems with the wiring harness this should be addressed in a recall. The front passenger side seat warmer/cooler does not work, not sure if that issue is part of the airbag light problem.

When starting I noticed the front airbag light remained on indicating a malfunction further examination indicated a problem with passenger srs not indicating proper illumination upon start up and that was the reason for the always on front airbag warning unless passenger occupying seat in other words if the indicator test at start up fails the system turns on the front airbag light until someone in seat/ it also means is a subsequent failure of the system will not be observed as the light has been already turned on for the earlier reason.

The 2nd row airbag light came on, and Ford told me it was a shortage in the wires and it wasn't covered under the manufacturers warranty. They stated that since the airbag light was on, the short in the wiring would stop the airbag from deploying, which in turn is a safety issue.

Airbag light came on around 50,000, was told harness needed to be replaced under driver's seat due to wires fraying from seat movement. Work was done under warranty. Mileage now around 92,000, airbag light again intermediately illuminated while driving, after taking it back to dealership was told it was the same exact problem and now it's an $1100 fix, not covered under warranty. I was told Ford is aware of the problem but no recall as of yet has been initiated. After looking online, seems this is a pretty common problem!.

My airbag light came on and when I took it to Ford dealership I was told it is in the wiring and estimated cost is $1000 to fix meanwhile until I can afford to fix it I have no airbags in my Explorer not safe for going into winter and having grandchildren in my SUV.

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.

The airbag light came on. I took the vehicle to my local Ford dealer. The computer code revealed a fault in the srs system causing a rear airbag not to function properly. I was informed that this is not covered by the srs warranty and would have to pay $500 for the replacement of a wire.
