Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford explorer. the contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to salerno duane ford 245 broad st, summit, nj 07901 where the contact was informed that the air bag would not be covered under the extended warranty. the manufacturer was notified of the issue and offered no assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 42,000.
Airbag light staying on. dealer diagnosed rear seat issue and $911.00 to repair. ford issued tsb 16-0001 due to it being a common problem. due to the high cost of repair some customers do not have the repair completed resulting in an unsafe situation. since this involves an important safety issue a mandatory recall should be required so the manufacturing defect can be resolved.
The air bag light is on. dealership found code b141b and b141c to second row seat belts and recommended replacing pigtails. $431.46 quote for parts seems excessive for something that is in a 2016 car. the airbags will not deploy unless fixed. seems unsafe unless you have about $600 for repairs.
Airbag light has been on for a week now. took it in to the ford dealership to find out the wiring is malfunctioning. according to the dealership it is a common issue with 2012 models. i was told that since the airbag light is on, if i got into an accident the air bags will not deploy. this is a major safety concern. now i am having to pay upward of $400 to repair.
The airbag warning light came on without warning or incident (no accident or impact, just started my car one day and the light stayed on). per research done online with same warning light, make and model of vehicle, issue appeared to be with the rear/2nd row seat belt airbags disengaging and this causes none of the airbags to work in the vehicle in the event of a crash. at the time the light initially came on i had about 72k miles on my car, and it appears this is about the same mileage of all other explorer owners with this issue. i took it in for service for the light and incurred repairs totaling just under $1,000 to have the parts replaced and the airbags function again. the fact that i did nothing (other than turn on my car when it was approaching the 70-75k mileage mark) to cause malfunction of the airbags but had to pay $1,000 to fix it and have airbags work in my car in the event of an accident is disappointing. ford needs to issue a recall for this, it's unacceptable to have owner and passenger safety compromised through no fault of the owner, and ...
Airbag sensor came on at about 55,000 miles. went to dealer and they put on computer; told it is tsb 16-0001. dealer suggested to replace the airbag harness, with connectors replaced for $963.17, b/c warranty expired at 60,000 miles. this is a safety issue as none of the airbags in the car will deploy unless i pay ford for a part that has no moving parts. looking to see if aftermarket warranty will cover. i see multiple people with same issue have reported this so there should be a recall since it is a safety issue, potentially for children.
Received a message on my dashboard " power assist fault", the steering was stiff and could not turn. turn off the car for 10 minutes and the steering was functioning ok. later in the afternoon, i was about to hit the gas pump as my steering went stiff again. now am scared that this may cause accident
A light on my instrument cluster came on. it illuminates a man strapped in his seat with a deployed air bag in front of him. the light stays on. according to me research, the problem is common to 2015 ford explorers. there is a wiring harness under the seat that has been frayed by the movement of the seat when it is being adjusted by the driver. the cost to have repairs made is anywhere from $1000 to $1400. i am told that until it is repaired, the airbags will not deploy. that seems to me like an unnecessary design flaw, and it creates a dangerous condition with the vehicle. i don't have the money to have mine repaired, so i guess i'll just have to be careful and hope for the best...
Both. vehicles were moving. the explorer front hit the right rear panel of a 2011 ford ranger. both vehicles were going approximately 30 mph. no injuries sustained by either driver. my ford explorer air bags did not deploy. i was on a city street the other vehicle was just beginning to turn.
