This is the 2nd time this has happened in 2 years. I have my truck turned off completely and locked and go to get back in it a few hours later and I open my door and the gas from the airbag has completely filled up the cab of my 2015 f150. I turn the truck on and it’s like it’s been in a wreck, all the lights on the dash are on, and it’s saying my airbags are deployed which the gas that fills the airbag did deploy, and it keeps telling me to contact 911. How does this keep happening without Ford making a recall or not taking responsibility. It could seriously hurt or I hurt me or my family.

My airbags deployed while my truck was parked overnight. No known cause, no collision. Also when I put the keys in the truck all my dash lights were on no power steering. The truck is currently sitting at the dealership.
I started the the truck and the right siside airbags deployed.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that soon after starting the vehicle, the passenger’s side curtain air bag deployed independently. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was then towed to a local dealer where the contact was informed that the air bag failure was related to corrosion located around the front passenger’s side kick pad area. Additionally, the contact was informed that the passenger’s side curtain air bag and the engine wiring harness and body harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case opened. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
Moisture in a taillight housing of a 2015 lariat F-150 caused the blis module and wiring harness to short out. The blis module is tied into multiple vehicle systems, and caused the following issues: airbags turned off blis system turned off tpms turned off windows and door locks don't function radio stuck in whatever setting it is in when faulted air conditioning panel and all climate controls turn off during a road trip this happened. I was unable to egress the vehicle until I shut it off. It is summertime so the vehicle, without ac or the ability to control the windows, became very hot. I had kids in the car. Also, without airbags, window, and door control, if I were to crash the vehicle, I don't know if I could safely extract my family. The moisture in the taillight is a known issue, and is covered in gsb 22-7002, but I couldn't find a blis module gsb/TSB. However, the blis module failure is a known issue, and there are multiple diagnostic videos and write-ups describing this issue on youtube and F-150 forums. This is a safety issue, and should promptly be addressed.
2015 f150 4d 4x4 traveling approximately 60 mph impacted a 2017 Toyota sienna van on the driver’s side after it had impacted the center jersey wall. F150 then impacted center jersey wall on drivers side. None of the f150 air bags deployed.
I was driving 60 mph and a car pulled out in front of me causing me to tbone the vehicle. Drivers seat belt and airbag did not deploy causing me to hit the steering wheel then cracking my head on the wind shield. I bent the steering wheel gettin the force of the impacted and smashed the wind shield with my head causing my neck to bend. The accident has caused pain in my head, neck, left (hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder) right (hand, wrist) and chest that happen on 5/4/2022, in result of the safety mechanisms failing to properly work.
Experienced a head on collision with an animal at 74mph on route 93. Total damage to front end and air bags were not deployed. Injuries sustained.
After light turn green and I enter intersection a car tbone thw Ford f150 from the passenger side and then proceed to push the truck into a light pole. No airbags deployed!!! truck is located cesar's custom auto & collision at 7002 lawndale st, houston, TX 77023 (713) 921-6400.
On September 13, 2020, my father was driving his 2015 Ford f150, with me in the passenger seat. We were hit in a high speed head-on collision on I-55/I-240 in memphis, TN by an oncoming driver, which killed both my father (the driver), and the oncoming vehicle driver, and I was taken to the hospital with injuries in critical condition. My father was extracted from the vehicle and taken to the morgue, but when I was able to return to the truck at the impound lot, I found no drivers side airbag in the truck. While emts informed me that the airbag was cut, it was odd that the airbag was not still in the truck. His cause of death was blunt force trauma, and if the airbag did deploy, it would have had to have been a part of the immediate fatality. If it did not deploy, it would also have been a factor. On the passenger side, where I had been, all airbags were still attached, but cut in order to extract me. In the days immediately following the accident, my lip was swollen from hitting the airbag, but there was also a piece of shrapnel lodged in my lip, confirmed by xray, which later came out. I am concerned about both my father's fatality, and how the airbag deployed and what role it played in the fatality, as well as the injury of shrapnel getting embedded in my lip. I believe that the airbag could be a contributing factor in both issues.
My father was involved in a single vehicle accident in September 2020, where he struck a utility pole with the front driver side bumper on his truck, causing the pole to break. His truck was traveling around 55 mph on a state highway, when he suddenly had to avoid hitting a truck that braked in front of him, causing my father to swerve to the right. His truck went through a ditch before it came to a stop when it struck the utility pole. The air bag in the steering wheel came out but failed to inflate and my father hit his head on the steering wheel. He suffered with injuries which included bleeding on the brain and had to be air lifted to a trauma hospital and had to be put in icu!! he's still under the care of his doctors.
The plastic around the Ford emblem bottom side of the column air bag is cracked. I'm concerned that this might affect the safe operation of the bag, allowing moisture to enter into st sealed system. Also the cracked plastic is very sharp.
While passanger seat is occupied by a fully grown adult with seatbelt fastened, airbag turns off, seemingly at random. Vehicle was in motion on city streets.
Driving the Ford f150 (v6 ecoboost) on a city street (35 mph) it has failed at random times (I've now seen this issue more than 3 times) usually with 3 major failures. These 3 failures (1) engine, transmission, and emissions 2) brakes & suspension 3) restratins & driver assistance) cause the truck to transition to 'limp' mode which can actually be just as hazardous. If I'm turning onto a road with a 55+ mph speed limit I need to accelerate but if this system fails, along with the restraints & driver assistance, this could be a very dangerous and life threatening situation. The reason why is that the restraints & driver assistance goes off now disabling my airbags, etc. And if I now get hit (because now I'm in limp mode going about 7 mph) I have lost a great deal of 'built-in' protection without the airbags. Translate that to driving on a highway and encountering this situation and you can see that loss of life is not out of the question. I've taken the truck back to Ford for the warranty work and they say they believe it's an electronic throttle body controller that has gone bad and needs to be replaced but right now it's at least 3 weeks before they can get a replacement part. Compounding this issue is that Ford had issued an internal recall for v8's built at the same plant as my v6 ecoboost truck for the same type of issue.
During a accident where I rear ended another vehicle that was either stopped or at a very slow roll on a off-ramp (traffic was backed up from a wreck further up), neither my airbags or my seat belt restrained me. The result being me hitting the steering wheel with my chest and abdomen. I had bruising on my lower abdomen and extensive injuries to my back, neck and hips. The chiropractor hopes to have me back to 80-90% of "normal" (how I was before the wreck) within 2-2 1/2 months. I estimate my speed upon impact to be between 50-60 mph.
While driving brand new 2015 f150xlt supercrew with 6. 5ft bed I was full stopped about 20ft behind a car that was waiting for another car to turn as I looked up in rear view mirror saw another truck coming behind me down hill at approximatley 45mph the speed limit on the state route 2 lane just before entering town. I heard him lock up his brakes and slam into the back of my truck pushing me 15 to 20ft slamming me into the SUV in front of me hitting me at dead stop square on in the back driving me square on into vehicle infront of me, no airbag ever deployed I was thrust agianst the steering wheel in a snapping action. The impact was so forcefull it moved the supercrew back seat from the down position to the full upright and locked in place position agianst the back of the cab. The truck was only 6 days old with 370 miles on it. With that impact front and back I would think airbags would have deployed. The force of the impact bent the frame down in the back and bent the frame up in the front see the attached pictures.
