Airbag light came on. The vehicle has 123,000 on it. It just recently came on the dash while driving. I see there is no recall for airbag light indicator.
I purchased a 2008 Ford Focus from my father (now deceased). The airbag warning light has been on. When I had the obd read, it came back with code # b2294 indicating a fault in a control module. My research makes me believe this vehicle should be included in NHTSA# 07v541000 (Ford # 07c19); however, both NHTSA and Ford say it isn't. I would like to find out why this particular vehicle was excluded and is there something I can do at this point to have it included.
My son rear ended another vehicle at about 35 mph air bags didn't deploy other vehicle was stopped.
"takata recall" the drivers seat belt stays pushed in when you push the red release button to take off your seatbelt. Unlike the front passenger seatbelt and the three back seatbelts that all four completely release when you undo your seatbelt, none of them stay pressed in they all fully release. The 1st picture is the front passenger seatbelt release, 2nd picture is the back passenger & back middle seatbelt releases, 3rd picture is the back drivers seatbelt seatbelt release, & the 4th & 5th pictures are the front seatbelt release from two different angles showing how it's still pushed in & not fully released even though the seatbelt is unbuckled so the button should be fully released.
I was driving a Ford Focus 2008 at approximately 15-20 mph in traffic and drove directly into the back of another vehicle without breaking. The other vehicle, a Lexus sedan was stopped. The Ford Focus was up to date on all safety inspections and airbags were set on. In spite of this, no airbags deployed and I sustained a head injury from the collision.
I was traveling on industrial blvd when an elderly couple pulled out in front of me. With no time to react I hit the front end of their car with the front and side of my car on the passenger side. I was wearing my seatbelt. After my head hit off the windshield my airbag deployed. I have a severe concussion and some injury to my right leg. The main point to this accident is that I was wearing a seatbelt and my head still struck the windshield. And once agin the airbag was delayed on deployement.
