Passenger seat belt pre-tensioner has malfunctioned. Air bag check light flashing code 34. My mechanic informs me the entire srs will not function in a crash. He was informed by Ford that a replacement part is no longer available. The vehicle mileage is around 43,000. No rust and no collision damage. With the numerous complaints about this same problem why hasn't a safety recall be issued? why hasn't Ford been required to stock replacement parts for a longer time?.

5/9/2021 the srs dashboard light came on with a bell warning. Bell quits after a short time but the light stays on solid. When turning ignition on, light and bell comes on, blinks 3 times, does this 6 times and then stays on solid. When driving hear bell for 5 times, this repeats later for a total of 5 times. After turning the ignition switch on/off I hear a sound from under the driver or passenger seat. The passenger side air bag light does light. I bought this car new.

Same problem as reported on NHTSA id number: 11405633.

Airbag fault code 34. Passenger side seatbelt pretensions circuit resistance outside limits. Circuit was damaged by static discharge from human to outside of door. Vehicle was parked during both incidents. No accident. No detonation of explosive charge. Same problem occurred 2 years ago on driver side with code 33. Numerous reports from other consumers. Please inquire to repair facility �safetyrestore dotcom� for number of these failures. Airbags are inop when fault occurs. Need shielded circuit to prevent reoccurrence.

The seat belt lite started flashing then went out and now the alarm goes off and rings 5 times and does it 5 times it does this when you start the car.

Vehicle well maintained. 81,000 miles. Getting 3 4 airbag code. I am seeing repairs around $1300-$1400. And many many folks are having the same issue. Car inspection due this month. Please force manufacturer to cover this safety repair.

Tl- the contact owns a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in motion in a parking area that the drivers side, front passenger side and steering wheel air bags deployed with force. A grayish blue substance emitted within the vehicle. An incident report was filed. The failure had impacted the contacts visibility, 3 of 4 tires had gone flat as the contact had to quickly maneuver the vehicle to a complete stop. The driver was shaken, however no medical treatment was received. The insurance company wanted to conduct a collision report and had not yet investigated the cause of the air bag deployment. The dealer bill knight Ford, 9607 s memorial dr, tulsa, ok 74133, (918) 526-2400 was notified of the failure but had not yet scheduled an appointment to investigate the air bag deployment failure so the contact was uncertain if there was a remedy to repair the vehicle as well. The manufacturer had not issued any air bag recalls and no air bag TSB. The manufacturer was contacted to determine if they may investigate the air bag deployment and the contact was waiting on a technical response from the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

I have a 2008 mecury Grand Marquis ,I was in a wreck in December 10,2017 frontal impact my air bags did not go off or work during my wreck also my seat belts did not work as well. I got hurt in the wreck because non of my safety equipment work. I bought the car used from Ford dealership airbags we're replaced when previous owner had the car he tap a pole in a parking lot. I complaint with Ford and dealership I don't know what airbag is in my car . I think it's a takata air bag that is in my car dealership sold me a unsafe car and knew about it. Ford motor company knows about my matter and has done nothing about it. Also shop who worked on car when previous owner had the car. Cuss me out for asking what been done on the car . I ask Ford I want my car fixed and repaired for it to be safe so I am still waiting on them. I also want tramway auto body shop in sanford nc to be under investigation for unsafe car repair. Also want Ford to recall the car as unsafe or takata air bags could been replaced and install on your car unsafe claim repairs could be done by unfit shop with out owners notice. Geico insurance has been told about airbag non deployment faulty equipment and didn't do anything.

I have had more problems with my 2004 Grand Marquis, the lights don't work, headlights go off while driving at night, airbags don't work, electrical, seats, steering, brakes, all of the electrical, catalytic convertor keeps going out, also engine problems, among many other things. I was in an accident, where my steering didn't work properly and I was hit by someone, not my fault, but my car ended up spinning so bad that I hit my head off of the steering and received injuries,,party in other car was not injured. I was also driving at night on the highway and my lights went out, I was hit from behind. . But also, because of my headlights and steering this has been happening, air bags, never deploy. . . Received some serious injuries, banged my knew also very badly.

Hello, I own a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis and have been experiencing an apparent problem with the air bag / seatbelt system. There is a light that is on that says airbag. I had it checked out by my local mechanic who said it was likely a seatbelt tensioner per the code in the computer. After doing some research online, I discovered that there were pages of people with similar problems. A working replacement could not be installed as these parts are numbered to the car and have to be repaired and reprogrammed. Dealers have quoted over $500+ for the repair, per my research. Given the amount of people just on the forums, for many years and mileages of this car, just for this problem. There is an apparent problem with Ford's s q. C. From the start. If they are going to install a safety system it ought not become a liability, as I don't know if it will save me or injure me much less if the seat belts will work in an emergency! your feedback is appreciated. If I have reached the wrong dept. In errata could you either forward this to the right party or let me know who to contact. Again there are numerous complaints online about these vehicles. I have experienced Ford not including on the recall list, models that have had recall problems before. Please help. Thank you kindly keith schneider.

Takata recall also the exterior front body bumper paneles and left door molding panels are improperyly and in accurate/y and inadequately secured on the front left side of the driver door possibliy resulting in unsafely coming apart while traveling on the road the imperfected placement can be easily seen by glancing at the side and front area of the vehicle.

My 17 year old slid off road in snow storm, hit tree head on, center of bumper contact, bumper reinforcement bar driven into radiator, both frame rails bent, yet no air bag deployment took place.

Merging onto highway sudden loss of control /steering airbags deployed causing injuries including chemical burns.

The contact owns a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that the air bag warning lamp remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 119,000.

The seat belt light came on and would not go off had extened warranty but it did not cover the price to fix the seat belt which was defective was 900. 00 ''' live on a fixed income and could not afford this price also the head light recall recieved a letter but never heard another thing on the head light my concern is the seat belt.

Air bag dash light started to flash several times and then remained illuminated steadily after a few days. Dealership conducted diagnostic scan, which revealed problem with both driver and passenger pretensioners, needing replacing. Their estimate was approx. $1,500. 00. From what we've researched, there appear to be numerous incidents of this nature. There should be a full investigation with possible recall. Cannot afford this repair!!.

My wife was involved in a head on collision on 01. 15. 2015. Impact was edge of one vehicle to edge of other vehicle. . She was wearing seat belt. Her side seat and steering wheel air bags deployed. My wife still hit the windshield with her head. No secondary impacts occurred (I. E. , 3rd vehicle or fixed object). Accident sheared the driver's wheel and brake assembly off completely. Completely splitting the aluminium wheel in half. Frame was also bent under the wheel-well housing towards the firewall. I am inquiring as to whether there are any other recorded incidents of similar occurrences with this vehicle. Seems strange that with these safety measures in place, and utilized a driver can still hit the windshield. (not absolutely certain of the vehicle's mileage. . . But it isn't high. ).

Started car and the air bag started flashing then stayed on. This same problem reoccurs every time I start the car.

At 69000 miles the lighting control module, climate control module, restraint control module stopped functioning. All at the same time. Odd they all go out at the same time. Safety issue.

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?.

This started out with lights and windshield wipers cutting off and on with no apparent wearing. Also burning smell. Took it in got that fixed. I was informed this had occured in others same exact thing. Right after that next thing was dash lights for abs, airbag, and anti skid stay on. I took it to 2 places. Was told it was a module unit by one place the other couldn't find a reason. I have not had it fixed since I couldn't get a clear reason for it, also the car runs fine. The lights must mean something. I'm going to sell it but need to get as much a possible for it and this will take away from the buying price. Need to fix but was told the module unit repair seems strange. Please help any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

My father in law was driving my vehicle when a GMC yukon pulled out in front of him. My father in law hit the side of the yukon and only one air bag deployed which was the passanger side,my father in law was taken to the hospital bc of no feeling below his waist and the paramedics were unable to stabilize his blood pressure.

The contact owns a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact attempted to engage the headlights however, both headlights failed to illuminate. The hazard lights were activated in order to continue driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the headlight control module would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired due to the manufactured part being on a massive back order. The manufacturer was notified and they were uncertain when the part would become available. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000. . . Updated 11/14/12 updated 11/16/2012.

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.

The road was dry and bare. I felt a right rear skid (?"black ice"). I tried to turn steering wheel to correct the skid and it was locked. It jerked out of my hands, the engine roared and the car flew to the left across the road into a large tree. I had no control over the steering wheel. On impact of the tree, there was no balloon with air bag deployment, only pungent fumes and white flecks. The car was towed and totaled.

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!.
