"takata recall" the passenger seat is not registering that there's someone sitting there who 5'5" and weighs almost 135 pounds and is wearing his seatbelt. So the airbag light on the bottom right of the center console comes on and says "passenger airbag off" and the yellow airbag light stays lit up on the drivers dashboard until the car is shut off, all with someone who's big enough for the airbag sensor to know he's sitting there. All vehicles he sits in that have sensors for airbags for the front passenger seat always read that he's sitting there, so I know he's big enough to set the sensor off and for it yo know he's sitting there and to activate the passenger airbag. Pictures are of the yellow airbag light on the drivers, the center console "passenger airbag off", and a few showing where he's sitting in the seat and both the yellow lights are still on. The yellow lights are only on when the vehicle is running, in motion, on highway, stopped, on city streets, turning, and going forward. (itsl's alright to share all pictures publicly, I knew they'd be shared with the public before taking them. ).
"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 have an 2008 Ford Focus se I bought in 2016 and have had problems with passenger seat belt not locking in place, doors not locking/unlocking passenger side, and the biggest problem I have experienced twice is the engine revvening up and making strange noises like it is going to blow up the car does not increase with speed but engine revs and when braking the rev will speed up then decrease to break. Please recall before I get into an accident!!!!!.
The driver seat belt no longer buckles. It will go into the holster but does not click.
