My Ford Flex 2009 turns on then when I go pout the car on reverse it pulls my car and makes a loud sound then I put it to drive and it does the same when I go to press the gas pedal it does not go at all.

But a month ago it was drivable and when I was driving in the freeway going 70 miles the airbag lights would turn in and off then the tire pressure sensor fault turned on then the miles o was going when clear nothing on the dashboard would mark and the car was still going but wouldn't wanna go faster and if I break it wouldn't accelerate more.

3 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2012 Ford Flex

Failure Date: 04/16/2018

I am not sure if I have takata air bags, however the air bag light has been on for over a year. The steering takes additional strength to turn at lower speeds. It does not matter where the car is driven for the steering issue, it happens on city streets, the highway if turning at slower speeds. The rack and pinion and power steering pump have been replaced did not fix the issue.

4 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2013 Ford Flex

Failure Date: 09/13/2016

The airbag light came on and I took the vehicle to the service department and was told that the interface module part # 18a812 needed to be replaced. My vehicle has never been in a collision where the airbag deployed. My vehicle has been at the service dept for the 2 1/2 months now and no one can tell me when the part is coming and why it is not included in the restraint system warranty since it is considered an airbag module. I can not drive the vehicle since the dealership can not guarantee that it is safe for me to drive since they do not know if the airbags will deploy if I am in a collision or just driving around.

5 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2010 Ford Flex

Failure Date: 09/01/2014

Got in my car and when I started the vehicle the air bag light along with the traction control indicator light came on, took it to a dealer to see what the issue was and was told it is the restaint control module and to replace it will cost 900. 00. This is obviously a faulty part and should be covered as it directly controls the sir bags and the seat belts. So because I do not have 900. 00 laying around I g=have to hope I am not in a collision until I can come up with the ridiculous amount of money to replace a plug in module that costs less than 100. 00 to manufacture.

6 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2010 Ford Flex

Failure Date: 08/01/2014

After work on the vehicle at two Ford authorized dealership facilities for issues not related to the air bags, the air bag light in the instrument cluster came on and has stayed on since. I had the code read since then and it comes back as an open circuit in the rh front air bag. I realize that the subject vehicle is out of warranty but as a former vehicle electrical engineer a Ford I presume that an inoperative rh front air bag system is dangerous to the driving of the vehicle going forward and would hope that NHTSA would protect me from the fact that Ford's own recall site is telling me there is no issue. The vehicle has never been in an accident, and any issue with the air bag system must be with the design and/or the manufacturing of the respective parts.
