Bought used the air bag light was on. Dealer fixed it once under warranty or recall. The light is back on and out of warranty. The seats belts do not grab at all when heavy on the brakes. There would be no seat belts in a wreck. Plus the vehicle will not pass state inspection. 2014 with 37,000 miles.
While I am driving with my pregnant wife in the vehicle the airbag light will illuminate saying that the airbag is off, I have to pull over while driving to have her get out of the vehicle and get back in for the light to turn off. It's a normal street in a development or on the road driving. Different speeds with flat roads, some have bumps others are recently paved asphalt. Happens intermittently, over a dozen times at different speeds. My vehicles VIN doesn't fit the recall for the airbag issue that is already aware by Ford. Took vehicle to Ford dealership 4 times for this same issue, only thong done was a recalibration of the seat weight and exactly 2 weeks and 1 day later light came on again, unable to pull over I drove hoping to find a way to pull over for the safety of my wife and unborn child, the light turned off after 40 seconds of realizing it was on. A fully grown individual sitting in the seat weight 190+lbs has this happening to them. I have video footage and will try to attach it if possible. Most recently it happened today, 2/19/20 at 3:17pm.
The indicator light for the driver side airbag turns on at random times while driving. I had the error codes ran by the dealership and there is a malfunctioning weight sensor in the seat rail, which was recalled for the passenger side of this same make and model. This light coming on will not usually shut off until the truck is shut off and then it will reset. This has been occurring since April of 2019 and has slowly become more consistent. I have taken a photo of each occurrence when the issue started to become more persistent. The last time this happened was June 7th 2019. I have images from may 9, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23 2019 and June 7 2019 where it occurred multiple times that day.
Airbag light has been coming on over the past couple years. I have taken the truck in to Ford dealer service centers for multiple visits and have spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to solve. Most recently, the truck was at the dealer with the airbag light on and while troubleshooting, the light turned off. As soon as the light was off, there was nothing else that could be done other than returning to the service center if/when the light came back on. I have been told that if the airbag light is on, none of the airbags will deploy. This is a very serious safety concern for a modern vehicle that I have been prudent in trying to remediate but have not been able to resolve the issue. Regarding what specifically occurs, when starting the truck either the airbag light will be on or off. If the light is on, it typically remains on and does not shut off regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated. If the light is off, it remains off and does not come on regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated. I have not yet been able to detect a pattern (time of year, weather, amount of time since it was last driven) with when the airbag light comes on.
