Consumer's vehicle was involved in a collision on June 9, 2005. . The airbags deployed before the impact. The consumer saw something flash in her face, which was the center of the steering wheel, and the airbags deployed. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, and they said that there was something wrong with the srs, and they found a faulty sensor # 450047 in the front of the vehicle.

While driving at any speed the air bag warning light will illuminate. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The cause was not determined.

Air bag light is on and stays on. The deactivator switch is defective. Vehicle came with an of/off switch, which was replaced at consumer's expense.

I purchased a 2002 Ranger edge 4x4 , it had 4 miles on it. I have since replaced the airbag sensor, abs sensor, front end had tobe realigned due to a bad alignment at the factory,the tires in the front had to be replaced at 4500 miles. Now at 38000 miles the 4x4 drivetrain was leaking at the front cover. The breathing tube was throwing oil out onto the engine . I was told by Ford company and a Ford tech. That this was a e4nginnering problem. It was replaced at my cost of 796. 00. The cover was replaced with a part that was used previous to 1995, part number is fof6tz-4033-ba. My complaint is why is this not a recall and can I expect future problems.

Airbag sensor light stayed on. Dealer stated that airbag disconnecting switch failed, causing the dual airbags to become inoperative.

Air bag sensor light remained on. The dealer inspected vehicle, but could not solve the problem, the air bag sensor light continued to stay on. The dealer installed new wiper blades.

My son was involved in a single vehicle accident when he drove into a sandy ditch while avoiding another vehicle. He hit a sand hill head on, at approx 25 mph. The Ranger/edge was totalled, no one was injured, but the air bags never depolyed. The body shop looked at the vehicle and determined there are no air bag sensors, or air bag harnesses for the sendors located in the front portion of the truck. The shop called Ford and requested a diagram of where the sensors and wiring should be. Using the Ford diagram it is obvious there were no sensors or wiring. I am wondering how many other Ford Rangers / edges are out there with no sensors at the front bumper. Contacted ken grody Ford and talked with the service manager who did not appear concerned. He directed me to the Ford complaint department.

The air bag light illuminated, due to a faulty sensor.
