Air bag light recall.
Took the car in for airbag recall. Now airbag light is on all the time, this was not on when recall repair was done. Now dealership wants to perform a diagnstic on car at my cost.
I took my vehicle to the dealer to get the air bag recall completed. The dealer called and said that my airbag light is on and would need to be diagnosed to make my airbags work and that I would need to pay to have the system diagnosed. I declined because my car is there for a recall. The dealer told me that if the light is on the airbags will not work. If true why are they wasting peoples time with this recall? I think this a definite safety issue.
Air bag light is on for passenger seat.
Airbag light came on after complying with the Ford airbag recall. Took to the dealer and was notified that the passenger in-seat airbag sensor was intermittent and was not included in recall. Price to fix is $900.
Takata recall: just purchased 2 months ago a 2012 Ford Fusion. I received a recall notice in the mail for the airbags being recalled. No problems leading up to my airbag light going on and staying on until the day driving it came on and wont go off, even after Ford put the new airbag in. I would like this fixed.
The airbag system was recalled but the airbag light remained on.

Mid 2014 the airbag indicator on dash board activated when I started the car and remained lit while driving. At next oil change the dealer stated the restraint control module needed to be replaced. Located an active recall for this issue online, but it is only for model years 2013-2015. My car is 2012 and per the dealer not included in recall. Ad to that, the restraint control is a specific exclusion to their warrant contracts indicating they knew there was an issue with the part. I understand that the control module shorts out.
