Air Bag Light On Problems of Ford F-150 - part 1

When vehicle starts has wrench light on, tracadvance light on, and airbag light on. Truck wants to call 911 about 1 minute after started. Auto shop diagnostic has air bag module is not responding. My family and I have been buying Fords for years and Ford has treated us very well. I bought my first brand new car for my wife in 2016 and was a Ford explorer. Despite of the issues that that vehicle has had Ford has always done the right thing and has taken care of them. My grandfather owned a Ford dealership when I was a child and grew up riding in Ford vehicles. This airbag module that went bad is not a part that car wear out. From my research other 2012 f150's like mine has the same issue and some have a recall on them for this. It is a very expensive part that I think is faulty by manufacture. I have been driving around in the truck with my kids with this module bad and am not sure if it is safe or not. Please advise how to proceed. Thanks.

2012 Ford F-150. Consumer writes in regards to illuminated airbag light. The consumer stated the manufacturer advised the vehicle was to drive even though the airbag light was illuminated.

Going in motion on the turnpike at 70mph my truck down shifted to 2nd gear. After that the wrench and the airbag light came on the dashboard. The mileage erased and the speedometer stopped working. At a stationary red light my truck would show I was on 3rd gear. Fortunate for me I was by myself when this problem occurred but I could've been with my family and now I'm scared to drive my truck and even more scared to bring he family with me on my truck. That is the newest car in my house and would think it would be the most dependable but unfortunately it's not and I can't even afford to buy another car because I was affected by this pandemic. If I can sell the car back to the bank it would be great because I don't even feels safe bringing this car as the family truck.

Just purchased vehicle air bag light flashes and turns on when driving looked into issue. Found recall for airbag that causes this. Recall 11s18b. Contacted Ford they said recall had not been performed and set up appointment to have it done. Ford completed recall. Picked up vehicle drove 1000 feet airbag light came back on. Turned around and informed service department. They told me the recall has nothing to so with the airbag or light and that if I pay 100 they will diagnose vehicle. I informed them that it shows right on for that the recall causes light to flash and possibly airbag to deploy. They told me it does not and I was wrong and sent me on my way.

Airbag light on had to replace 2 wiring harnesses and sensors. This vehicle has 50600 miles and I have owned it since new. Ford says five years or 60000 miles warranty. I had it repaired by my mechanic at cost over 500. 00 dollars. I believe safety issues should be covered by warranty for defective parts. Thank you!.

Air bag light will not go off since I changed the seats out also back up camera is a blue screen.

The airbag light is illuminated steady on. It began with the light only turning on when the vehicle was in warm/hot weather. Now, it is on consistency with each start. The dealer says there is a fault with the seatbelt airbags that would inflate from the seatbelts in the instance of an accident. Although no accident has occurred, this now requires full replacement at $1,000+ cost.

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 with code 34. Both belt retention have been replaced but has not fixed it.

Without warning my rear wheels & drivetrain locked up while driving. My vehicle suddenly lost control and I had to drive into the grassy shoulder at around 35 mph to avoid being in traffic. As the problem was occuring, the speedometer went to 0 mph and the airbag light illuminated. The vehicle mileage in the cluster showed all dashes. The transmission felt like it was disconnected from the engine, and transmission was stuck in 5th gear at low vehicle speeds. I cycled the ignition, and truck drove normally after that. This is an intermittent problem and very dangerous to drive with as vehicle will lose power and transmission can shift to 1st gear at high vehicle speeds. My vehicle has the 6r80 faulty transmission with the same type of 6r80 molded lead frame defect problem reported in previous f150 model years. Upon contacting dealership they seemed like they never heard of the issue before. Ford should issue a recall for all vehicles with p0722 output shaft speed sensor diagnostic trouble codes. A simple electrical issue on a $100 part should not cause this type of dangerous reaction. See Ford TSB 13-4-9 and 13-2-3 and recall #16v248000 that should apply to all 2013 F-150's too.

Took the vehicle to the Ford dealership where I bought the vehicle new. The airbag light on the dash was coming on intermittently while driving and sometimes staying on for days. The vehicle was tested and "found that fault code present b0091 93 left side restraint". The wiring was tested and advised that the vehicle needed the "side air bag sensor" replaced. I was advised that if I did not have this sensor replaced that they could not say that the rest of the vehicle's airbag system would work if I was involved in a collision. At the time of this repair the vehicle was just 5 years old and had 41,068 miles on it. I do not believe that a vehicle that is just 5 years old, only has 41k miles, no collisions or any damage should be needing safety related airbag sensors replaced. Total cost for this repair was $515. 21.

Airbag light came on for no reason and will not go off. Have tried everything to get the light off. Was not driving the car anywhere. I had just started the car and noticed that the light did not turn off.

My truck does two things, both with the transmission. 1rst this is random and happens at any unsuspecting time and at all speeds. The truck goes into limp mode (killing all power) starts to clunk in and out of gears to the point it locked up the tires once going 55 mph for a second as this is happening my mph needle goes to 0, also the wrench light comes on. The other problem is random as well. The truck displays the airbag light while driving along, the transmission will get stuck in third and won't shift, some times it gets stuck in first and never make it up to 6th gear it will eventually shift through the gears as this is happening the miles, avg fuel display goes to all blanks. Both very unsafe and very scary, as I don't know when it will happen. I will not put my daughter in the vehicle until I feel it's save to do so.

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.

Vehicle has passenger side airbag. Dash has indicator light stating "passenger airbag off". Light comes on when passenger is in seat advising airbag is off. Without seated passenger, light is out denoting airbag is on. It appears it is working the opposite of design. This happens while vehicle in motion or stationary. Unit has always operated this way. Ford/dealer would not repair under warranty or recall.
