I just purchased this truck yesterday 12/29/11 and I drove it home parked it and got in the vehicle this morning, started it and the airbag light began to flash at me and then stayed on my whole 1 hour drive to work. I have 4 children, and am afraid that the airbags are going to deploy while they are in the vehicle or not deploy if we are in a collision. If there is a recall please let me know, I need to get it fixed.

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Dt*: the contact stated the air bag warning light only worked intermittently, while driving at any speed. The vehicle was not taken in for service.
Air bag light came on say the bags are out and they are not and it keeps staying on. I can not get it to stay off please see if there is a recall for these because my daughter had a 1997 ford escort that caught fire because of a recall on the airbag that she was never notified about.
While driving 30 MPH driver noticed that the check engine light and SRS light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. The cause has not been determined at this time. Consumer will contact the dealer in the near future.
Driving to work on interstate. Hit "black ice" was on rt far side, was thrown into 2' concrete wall barrier on far lft side of interstate @ 50mpr head-on. Srs didn't deploy. Rceived injuries: left shoulder/arm (seatbelt & thrown into driver's side door), neck, up'r back, rt knee, lft lower shin (lascaration, scrapes & bruises from hitting emergency brake.) transported to hospital. Fire dept noted/concerned that SRS didn't deploy. "brand new truck, airbags didn't work..why?" paid $30,000 for truck w/SRS & defective. Defective sensor, no airbags installed, or airbag manufacturer defect. Contacted hill ford, was told, "sometimes airbags work, sometimes they don't." I said, "sometimes you die, sometimes you don't?" not accepting that answer for a safetly feature. Would of walked away from head-on crash w/little to no injuries. Srs would of stabalized me & I wouldn't of been thrown around or hit dash board. Why didn't SRS operate at all? American family ins breaking down truck for total damage estimatation. Over a wk since accident..no answers, no truck. Frame bent & cap twisted in accident....but do have injuries & defective SRS. Why?
