Air Bag Light On Problems of Ford Mustang - part 1

The curtain airbags deployed without any collision or impact. This suggests a failure of the airbag sensors. The vehicle and all components, including the deployed airbags and related sensors, are available for inspection upon request. The sudden airbag deployment created a significant safety hazard. If this had occurred while driving at higher speeds, it could have caused me to lose control of the vehicle. The force of the deployment itself poses a risk of injury and can cause burns, bruises, or hearing damage. Myself and the passenger experienced these injuries. Other drivers could have been endangered if my vehicle reacted unexpectedly due to the deployment. The manufacturer inspected the edr system which claimed that there was collision. There was no collision and no physical damage on the vehicle to suggest otherwise. This suggests a fault with the edr system, sensors, and safety components of the vehicle. The vehicle is currently under inspection by insurance representatives. A few months into initially driving my vehicle, a warning lamp stating "restraint indicator lamp fault" was appearing. In March, there was dent and paint damage on the vehicle caused by a driveway gate, unrelated to the recent airbag deployment. These damages and warning lamp were fixed by an insurance certified shop. A report from this repair shop will be provided upon request. It cannot be attached below due to significant file size. There were no indication or warnings suggesting further fault with the airbags or any other safety restraint from March to the July, when the incident occurred.

Air bag light will stay on during hot days or if car has been left outside in heat during initial startup. Turning car off then on sometimes corrects the issue. Car had 55k miles on it when it first started to happen. Seen issue happening to many other 2015-17 Mustang owners online.

Car has had the airbag light on and off. Since it already had recall for it airbags, it seems like a faulty airbag system problem continues. Light usually comes on when been driving for several miles and stayes on. Once I tunr the ignition off, it resets it and turning the ignition on again, the light is gone, but will come back after driving several miles but not always.

Takata recall - I was at a stoplight during rush hour on a busy city street. The light turned green and before I made it 10 feet the car in front of me slammed on his brakes. I hit him from behind, it was a very minor impact but my airbag deployed and exploded/ruptured over my lap. It shattered my iphone and burned my left leg about 6 inches above my knee. Upon inspection of the front end of my car I saw virtually no visible damage, only a 2cm paint chip and a very slightly bent license plate. My car drives perfectly, there are no indicator lights except for the airbag light. This leads me to believe that I am dealing with a faulty defective takata airbag. I also want to add that I already had my passenger side airbag replaced due to a recall notice I received about 6 months ago.

When traveling at 65 miles a hour the airbag light, traction control lights and abs light came on the vehicle also lost power steering. I was told that because the airbag light was on the airbags would not function. Dealers report that rear driver hub driver side caused the issue. Dealer refused to cover under warranty even though airbag system was still under warranty.

When vehicle sits in hot sun while parked not in operation the airbag light will stay on when car is started. It stays on until car is driven for about 10 mins or so and the car is turned off and back on. This only happens on hot sunny days.

I purchased this 2014 Mustang 11/15/2018, after doing the paperwork and before I took delivery the airbag light came on. I was told it's a sensor in drivers seat and would be a couple days. Then after that I was told it needed to go into a Ford dealer to be fixed on 11/28/2018. On this date I was told that it needs a harness for the driver seat airbag and that no dealer has the part and Ford hasn't manufactured any. After multiple calls I was able to get a rental, now I'm afraid that I'm not going to get my car that is registered and insured and I have been told thru a Ford dealer known by my family that it's backordered until 3/4/2019. What am I supposed to do? I'm going to make payments on a car I own but can't drive and I'm worried the rental will get pulled from me when they find out how long it will take to fix my car. Big issue is there is not another Mustang like it for sale anywhere!!.

I purchased a car a month ago, right after I filled all paperwork out and was to take delivery the airbag light went off. They sent car to a Ford dealer 2 weeks later and said the part needed is on backorder until 12/14. (I am making payments and insurance on car) they gave me a part number of dr3z1ha005hc and carmax is telling me now the Ford dealer is giving them a hard time. I have searched this part thru Ford and there isn't one. It's supposed to be a drivers seat airbag harness that has sensors on it. What am I supposed to do as a consumer? I want this car! I need this car! I'm paying for this car! everyone is being unhelpful!.

After driving approximately 5 miles at highway speed, several warning indicators illuminate, including advancetrak unavailable, the abs indicator, traction control indicator, and air bag indicator. All of these systems become unavailable.

Takata recall - at the time I bought a brand new car. Then at 40,000 miles the airbag light came on when I was driving. I had it checked and they said there was defective airbags that needed to be replaced. Then later they had 2 safety airbags recalls. After I had them replaced the Ford dealership informed me none of my air bags would not work as there was a defected drivers side seat air bag that was defective that needed to be replaced and I would have to pay for that as it wasn't on the recall list and it would cost anywhere from$1,500. 00 to $3,000. 00 it could cost more or less they wouldn't know till they got to the air bag. I refused to pay to have it fixed as it's not my fault. It is Ford who built the car. They should have to fix it!!!! this is a safety issue and my life is at risk!!!!.

After we had the first airbag recall replaced we started to experience the flicker 9f the airbag light. We assumed this was due to the necessity of the passenger side airbag needing to be recalled. Our service technician doesn't agree. They say the instrument cluster needs replacing. The only information I can find on that is that all other gauges fail if the cluster needs replacing. That is why I feel that the light is on directly because of the airbag recall.

My passenger air bag lights started coming on when on one was there. Then it started turning on the air bag light on the dash. It didn't matter what was in the seat if anything the light would come on. I have been sitting in the seat and one minute no light then the next light is on including on the dash. Doesn't matter highway city or how far you drive.

I took my 2009 Mustang to the columbus, ohio dealership where I purchased the car for the driver's side airbag recall which evidently they fixed. The next day my airbag light went on which it has never done before. I took it back to the dealership. I was told now that the passenger side airbag was inoperable and it would cost $750 to repair and now neither airbag was working. I did some research online and found out about the passenger side airbag was under recall as well. I called the dealership back and the service person had no idea about that recall code 17s01. I even gave him the code number. Now the dealership refuses to repair supposedly because the part of the airbag that is broken is not covered on this recall.

Air bag defect since new vehicle delivery. I took delivery of this vehicle about two weeks ago and immediately left with it on vacation. When driving off the dealer lot I noticed that the air bag light in the dash was on. But thought this to be normal as that is how the dealer delivered it to me and that I am used to gm vehicles where the air bag light is on under proper conditions. Today while at the dealer’s body shop for minor paint repair I was told to immediately take the vehicle to their mechanical shop as the light on a Ford indicates the system is not working. The dealer was accommodating and in short order diagnosed the problem to be a defective driver’s side air bag. They then took the part out of a similar new car in stock and replaced mine. The problem was not solved. I am now driving a loaner vehicle and being told that a clock spring is on order.
