My airbag warning light came on. The dealer found 2 codes and replaced the parts. When they were done another code came up for weight sensor which is the seat frame. I was told that the part has been discontinued. I have searched for an aftermarket part with no luck. I purchased a used seat but it was not compatible I have a16 year old truck. The service life is as I understand it is 14-20 years. I don’t understand how the manufacturer can stop making safety parts while the vehicle is still in its service life.
The problem was identified from the Ford dealership as a seat belt pretensioner issue. I am not sure what that device does for the air bags assembly, but I feel that Ford should have replace this free of charge; regardless of the year of the truck or the miles on the truck. The price was also extreme for that part. $372. 18 just for the parts. I paid an total of $631,. 65 for this issue. Ford case number# cas-16048449-g3b4mi.
We were driving on a fm road it was pitch black that night and came up a hill and in the middle of the road was a big black cow, I swereved to try and miss it and not hit it head on but clipped its behind on the right front quarter panel, the next thing I know the cab is full of smoke and smelled like wires burning, so I go to the side of the road and killed it made sure everyone was ok and went to the er to get my children checked out, unknown why they failed to deploy.
I had a head on collision. All airbags where deployed except for the passenger front. I have owned the vehicle brand new so I know that it was never turned off.
