Air Bag Light On problems of the 2009 Ford Focus

Airbag light went off and diagnostics indicate clock spring fault. Airbag potentially not functional.

The airbag light suddenly came on one day and it does not go out. I researched it on google and it appears to be very common in Ford Focus vehicles. The safety issue is that in my research I learned although this is a common issue, if the light is on the air bag will not work if needed.

The airbag light suddenly came on one day. I researched it on google and it appears to be very common in Ford Focus vehicles. My mechanic is unable to address the issue stating it must be done at a Ford dealetship out and the problem is in the brain /module of the car. For these reasons I thought there would have been a recall. The safety issue is that in my research I learned although this is a common issue, if the light is on the air bag will not work if needed.

My 2009 Focus ses was seen by the dealer for the airbag light being constantly on in November 2011. They replaced the passenger side airbag module. This winter (2012) the airbag light has come on again. It apparently has something to do with hot/cold temps.

2009 Ford Focus. Consumer states problem with ticking noise the consumer stated there were engine/exhaust noise emitting from the vehicle after it was turned off. According to the dealer, some Ford vehicle may exhibit a ticking/pinging noise from the hot exhaust after the engine is turned off and the exhaust cools down, which is due to the exhaust system expanding and contracting during heating and cooling cycles. The ticking/pinging should be considered normal. The brake fluid light illuminated and it was determined the fluid was low. The tires were found to be out of round, the air bag light illuminated. The tpms light illuminated due to low pressure in one of the tires. It was determined that one of the tires had a leak.
