Air bag warning light is on. I talked to local Ford garage they said 1500 to 2000 to fix . Looking online at f150 forums this seems to be a common problem. This is a government mandated safety device it should be fixed for free. It can't get reset or erased without being fixed

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 39 of 39, newest first, as owners wrote them.
sept 11 I was leaving a parking garage, I backed out of my parking space, drove toward the first turn when the sole came off my shoe blocked the gas pedal wide open sending my truck into a support column on the lower level. The damage was extensive but my airbags did not deploy, the seat belt left bruise and and some soreness but to date no other injuries. My insurance told me today they are gonna 'total' the vehicle. 2013 Ford F150 Supercrew Cab
Going in motion on the turnpike at 70mph my truck down shifted to 2nd gear. After that the wrench and the airbag light came on the dashboard. The mileage erased and the speedometer stopped working. At a stationary red light my truck would show I was on 3rd gear. Fortunate for me I was by myself when this problem occurred but I could've been with my family and now I'm scared to drive my truck and even more scared to bring he family with me on my truck. That is the newest car in my house and would think it would be the most dependable but unfortunately it's not and I can't even afford to buy another car because I was affected by this pandemic. If I can sell the car back to the bank it would be great because I don't even feels safe bringing this car as the family truck.
Air bag light will not go off since I changed the seats out also back up camera is a blue screen
Less than 24 hours after tsb 19s07 was performed on my truck, I was entering the freeway when check engine light, airbag light both turned on. Speedometer shut off, read 0, same with odometer. Vehicle refused to shift below 3rd gear. I then had to drive through a merge light to enter freeway and start from 3rd gear. I had to drive the 3 miles or so back home like this. Truck had no issues prior to the recall being done.
Airbag light on had to replace 2 wiring harnesses and sensors.this vehicle has 50600 miles and I have owned it since new. Ford says five years or 60000 miles warranty. I had it repaired by my mechanic at cost over 500.00 dollars. I believe safety issues should be covered by warranty for defective parts.thank you!

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the air bag indicator illuminated. Baystate ford, inc (703 washington st, south easton, ma 02375, (888) 433-4496) was notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,000.
While in motion, with an adult passenger buckled in, the indicator light for the passenger side air bag often indicates the air bag is off. This has been ongoing since the truck was purchased. We have complained to the dealership several times. Date indicated below does not at all reflect the number of times this has occurred.
Transmission malfunction, will not engage when vehicle is stopped. Seems like it is stuck in 5th gear. Odo reads ------, airbag and seat belt light comes on. Speedometer goes to zero. When I turn engine off and back on, it operates normal for a few miles. Was almost t-boned by semi this morning because the transmission would not engage when I pulled into intersection.
Without warning my rear wheels & drivetrain locked up while driving. My vehicle suddenly lost control and I had to drive into the grassy shoulder at around 35 MPH to avoid being in traffic. As the problem was occuring, the speedometer went to 0 MPH and the airbag light illuminated. The vehicle mileage in the cluster showed all dashes. The transmission felt like it was disconnected from the engine, and transmission was stuck in 5th gear at low vehicle speeds. I cycled the ignition, and truck drove normally after that. This is an intermittent problem and very dangerous to drive with as vehicle will lose power and transmission can shift to 1st gear at high vehicle speeds. My vehicle has the 6r80 faulty transmission with the same type of 6r80 molded lead frame defect problem reported in previous f150 model years. Upon contacting dealership they seemed like they never heard of the issue before. Ford should issue a recall for all vehicles with p0722 output shaft speed sensor diagnostic trouble codes. A simple electrical issue on a $100 part should not cause this type of dangerous reaction. See ford tsb 13-4-9 and 13-2-3 and recall #16v248000 that should apply to all 2013 f-150's too.

On january 13, 2015 I was involved in a head collision with a 18 wheeler. The scenario was a two lane highway (hwy 67, lakeside , ca), there is minimal room for error and upon impact. I remember my brakes depressing completely to the floor board , yet as though there was no air lines. It has been a long recovery, which is why certain things are returning slowly. Yet, I remember that my brakes felt off or un-responsive before impact.
We have taken this vehicle in three times for squeeling brakes and it still makes a high pitched noise when I stop.

The driver side airbag warning light in my 2013 ford f-150 recently has become and remains constantly lit up. After reading about all of ford's recent airbag recall issues it seems that the issue with my driver side airbag may be consistent with the defects that LED to those recalls by ford. Upon contacting the ford dealership where I purchased my truck as well as the ford customer relations department I was informed that my VIN is not on their current list of vehicles eligible for an airbag recall. This is a very frustrating situation, I do not feel that I or my family are safe while driving my truck after reading what has been published about ford's suspect airbags. Conveniently this defect became apparent right around the time that my vehicle warranty had expired, the next time I am in the market for a new vehicle I will keep in mind ford's disregard for consumer safety.
