1 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2019

Air bag light comes on and blinks code 3 3 then dings an alarm 5 dings x 5 times every 30 minutes, light stays on. I understand code 33 or 34 are seat belt pretentioners that are known to fail on mid 2000's Ford vehicles. Mine is 2006 Grand Marquis. This appears to be a defect in materials causing a saftey concern for myself and passengers. The air bag system is disabled until repaired and the repair is very expensive. The vehicle has not been in an accident and it has been diagnosed as a driver side pretentioner high resistance failure. The mechanic suggested they replace both driver and passenger side since the passenger side will most likely also fail soon according to his experiance. This should be recalled to have pretensioners replaced since it is a known defect and safety hazard caused by Ford parts.

8 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/06/2015

On September 9, 2015 I purchased a used 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis LS. I was informed that the airbag light was on. I subsequently found that there had been some minor damage to the lower front of the vehicle, not resulting in airbag deployment. In researching the problem and to determine if there had been an airbag recall by the NHTSA, I found that there had been 57 registered complaints on the repair pal website and that a complaint had also been filed with the NHTSA. For this problem and that the problem was a result of defective seat-belt assemblies. There should be a safety recall issued for this problem as it effects the proper functionality of the restraint system in the event of a collision.

15 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/29/2011

I was driving along and the dashboard "front airbag light" came on and a beeping sound began. Since my vehicle is a Mercury and there are no Mercury dealers now, I called the nearest Ford dealership. They say that when the light is flashing it means my airbag is not working. If I bring the vehicle in, they will diagnose it for $49 and then tell me how much it will cost to fix it. They said there is no recall on this issue. I checked the internet and found several automotive forums that discuss this issue. Apparently it has been a topic of discussion since at least 2008. I'm concerned for my safety and will make arrangements to have the situation accessed and then fixed. However in today's economy, many people will just let the light continue to be lit and do nothing. This means that their airbags will be inoperable. I think either NHTSA or Ford should consider a recall on this.
