The gas from the front tank goes to the back thing and the truck hesitates and cuts off. And the air bag light keeps blinking

My dad noticed the air bag warning light flashing on and off at random shortly before he died. Once I was given it as a gift by him in his last will, I experienced the same activity with the light, "and" now have no horn and the headlights sometimes flash on and off like their is a short in the electrical system...not sure if the airbag currently functions or not!

Air bag flashing a code and the horn no longer works. Local dealer reported the "clock spring" has failed and is not covered by warranty or current recall, repair costs would be around $150. Dealer reports that the air bag may or may not work in an accident. I did not have the repairs done. Recent research at your site noted other '94 fords having the same problem. Wanted to add to those reports because, like me, there are probably thousands of other owners that are driving around with a flashing air bag warning light or paid for the repair that should have been a "recall" because of some defect.

Tl*the contact owns a 1994 ford f-150. The contact stated that the parking brake would not hold the vehicle, which causes it to roll freely. Secondly, the bumper is abnormally loose and rattles. As a result, the bumper could separate from the vehicle. Thirdly, the seat back reclines suddenly. Lastly, the front driver's side air bag warning light consistently illuminates on the instrument panel. The light indicates a failure within the air bag system. The manufacturer would not assist with the repairs because the VIN was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign id numbers 93v184000, 94v018000, 94v169001, and 96e010000. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000 and current mileage was 100,009. Updated 6/2/09 *cn updated 06/04/09.

Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle was operating normally when it was taken to the dealer to have the cruise control disconnected under recall #05v38800. After the dealer disconnected the cruise control, the horn began to work intermittently, and the air bag light flashed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that during the initial disconnecting of the cruise control switch, the battery should have been disconnected, but wasn't and this resulted in damage to the clock spring and the horn assembly.

Cruise control doesn't activate. No activation light when on switch depressed. Already had to change out the clocking mechanism, cost $300.00+. Now get an intermittent airbag light, horn is sporadic. Also on 3rd transmission due to that defective efod transmission. Haven't towed anything. Piece of crap. I'll never buy another ford.

My 1994 ford f-150 lightning seems to have the same type of problems reported by others in the complaint database on this site. I have the intermitent air bag warning light, loss of cruise control, and loss of horn. I was not aware that the airbag is no longer functional due to this. There are many entrees with the same brocken clockspring at fault. It would seem that ford has a dangerous defect that can compromise the safety of its customers. I hope that something can be done to remedy this problem without ford socking every owner with a $250.00 charge for their defective product. I also have the brocken plastic dash mount on the passenger side, which causes extreme dash bouncing at the slightes bump. I have looked on later model trucks with the same dash and the mounting bracket is different, it would seem ford diagnosed this problem but will not fix it in previous models. I hope that this information will be followed up with the manufacture and might cause some good.
