Light for air bag came on with warning sound. Had local garage fix with new parts from Ford dealer. This morning upon backing out of garage at approximately 70,000. Miles same problem of light and sound. Supposed to take it to same garage to diagnose tomorrow. It cost me, a 78 yr. Widow, $561. 72 to replace this in Aug. Of 2013. I am not going to spend another cent on this problem. What in the world has happened to air bag installation?.
The contact owns a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that the air bag warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the driver's side seat belt assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 38,560 and the current mileage was 43,818.
Around 12 years ago, when my 2006 marquis, which I purchased brand new, had only approximately 40,000 miles on it, the seatbelt-airbag system warning appeared on the instrument panel and a warning bell sound went off with a 3 beep then 2 beeps/ring tone that would sound whenever the vehicle was started for the next two minutes of driving. It would then stop but the yellow warning icon stays on. On a trip, while driving, it will do this every hour or so or 60 miles of driving, and has done this ever since. (I'm retired and drive very little, my vehicle as of today (5-13-2022) has only 54,462 actual miles on it. ) I did some research when it first occurred and learned that the 3 - 2 beeps is a "code 32, seat belt pre-tensioner failure warning and will need immediate service and replacement. " so I then called Ford and explained it as above. They told me that it is not their problem and are not acknowledging any responsibility and it will be up to me to see a dealer, which I did. I was told that it would require replacement of both my seat front seat belts, and possibly more including airbag components to the tune of several thousand dollars! I asked them, as I did Ford: as I've had many Ford vehicles, personal and company, several of which I've driven over 200k miles, without ever having a seat belt or airbag component failure, how is this my problem and not Ford's, especially after only 40k miles? I had asked Ford these two most important questions: 1- "what did I do to cause this failure?" and 2- "what could I have done to prevent it?" they refused to answer and only told me that I need to take it to a dealer to have it repaired. I have not pursued it as I didn't have the thousands of dollars the dealer wanted to charge me. This is wrong as it is part of Ford's refusal to acknowledge the faulty components in their seat belt/airbag systems, which has been putting my life at risk ever since their components' failure and Ford needs to be held responsible!.
