My passenger seat occupancy sensor failed. Caused my airbag system to throw a code and become inoperative and srs light on. Took to middleton Ford in middleton, WI and they confirmed the code indicated the OCS sensor has failed and required replacing to make the airbag system operable again. Meaning if I got into an accident, no airbags would deploy while the defective OCS sensor is in place. My insurance refused to inspect or cover the sensor as the failure wasn't related to an accident. Middleton Ford refused to cover the replacement cost regardless of cause of failure and said I must pay for the repair as my van was out of warranty. The sensor was replaced on 08/22/22 and see attached pics to prove the sensor had no visual issues and the cause of said failure is a manufacturer defect. Consumers should never have to pay for a defective part that failed due to no fault of their own.

My srs system has thrown the srs light with code b00c0:11ab passenger occupancy sensor a short to ground. According to the weight pad is faulty and requires a $989 part replacement. The srs system is disabled with the light on which is a safety issue in today's vehicles as none of the airbags will deploy in an accident with the srs light currently on. No consumer related malfunction detected meaning there were no broken wires found nor evidence of a consumer triggered fault found such as wet or previously wet pad which could have caused the fault. It is an internal part failure.

On may 17 2022, I was involved in a multi vehicle accident in which my vehicle was hit on the side and ended up with a right frontal impact into a concrete barrier. Despite the severity of the impact, none of the airbags deployed. The onboard collision sensor was triggered and dialed 911. I was injured, but not to a catastrophic degree. I have cuts and bruises as would be expected. My concern is that an airbag should have deployed and would have been beneficial in this instance, since my shoulder did impact the steering wheel. There is a recall for this particular vehicle, but my VIN is not listed and should be.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford Transit Connect. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

T-bone a four door vehicle at 55 mph. The seat did not stop me. The belt did not catch and will not retract. It is laying on the driver seat. Air bags did not deploy. The front end of my vehicle hit the side of the other vehicle crushing the front of my vehicle. Nether safety restraint worked.

Transmission converter and Ford refuses to honor the repair. It does not show on their computer yet the rpm needle goes up and down on stealth mode. The wiper hose keeps coming off. The back up camera kept going black. The ac went out at less than 40,000 miles. The software will not update. The eco system would not work properly. The passenger bag is not detected.

While driving the vehicle in reverse, the driver's air bag deployed for no reason. The diver was slightly injured. The vehicle's maintenance history was looked at. This vehicle was never implicated in an accident. The Ford dealer found that the electrical wiring for this airbag was corroded. This would be the reason why the airbag deployed. This electrical wire should be better protected. The dealer refused to repair it under warranty because it is not valid anymore.

My sister have accident frontal collision any airbag was deploy. . . The speed at impact moment was around 35 miles driving I a city road.
