I have been getting getting airbag symbol on dash for about 3 years. I have brought the truck to 4 different ford dealers to repair. The first time it came on, I was told to park truck and not drive it by ford, the airbag could deploy at any time. When I bring the truck to the dealer, they claim to repair issue. After I leave dealer, in about 1 month, the light will come back on. The last ford dealer (hood in hammond) which has claimed to repaired it, after it came back on, they says that the front seat needs to be removed to repair. Also seat tentioner has been replaced by another ford dealer. I have had to use my extended warranty and have to pay $100 copay. I have contacted ford a couple time also. This issue has been going on for about 3 years. I do not know if airbags will work or not. Very dissapointed with the unprofessionalism of dealers (service managers) and ford customer service. This issue of not knowing if airbags are working properly are not is very distrubing. I am giving an estimate of mileage and date when first occured.

Bought used the air bag light was on. Dealer fixed it once under warranty or recall. The light is back on and out of warranty. The seats belts do not grab at all when heavy on the brakes. There would be no seat belts in a wreck. Plus the vehicle will not pass state inspection. 2014 with 37,000 miles
Passenger airbag suppression light is on with no one in the passenger seat. I noticed recall the federal safety agency 14v71000 exists, but the recall does not come up on my VIN.
I was hit in the rear driver side door an gas tank going thru and intersection about 35-40 MPH and we got hit with and estimated speed of 50-60 MPH and the air bags failed to deoloy..we went 40ft. Down and inbankment and came to a stop this took place september 29, 2020
Vehicle was purchased in 2017. In 2018, occassionally noted that the passenger airbag indicator would switch to off while a passenger was in the seat, with seatbelt fastened. Approached my dealer with the problem, they read codes and found no faults. During a long road trip in 2019/2020, a pattern emerged: when vehicle first started and passenger present, passenger airbag system indicates on. After 20-30 minutes of driving, indicator goes to off. About 50% of the time, unbuckling and retracting passenger seatbelt, then rebuckling, and indicator will come back on. If this fails, truck must have ignition turned off before it will reset and switch airbag on. Have been told by dealership that this vehicle is not part of the 2014/15 recall for issues that match these symptoms. Also told that my expensive extended warranty may not cover a fix (to the main safety system??)... It is dependent on shop inspection and diagnosis.
While I am driving with my pregnant wife in the vehicle the airbag light will illuminate saying that the airbag is off, I have to pull over while driving to have her get out of the vehicle and get back in for the light to turn off. It's a normal street in a development or on the road driving. Different speeds with flat roads, some have bumps others are recently paved asphalt. Happens intermittently, over a dozen times at different speeds. My vehicles VIN doesn't fit the recall for the airbag issue that is already aware by ford. Took vehicle to ford dealership 4 times for this same issue, only thong done was a recalibration of the seat weight and exactly 2 weeks and 1 day later light came on again, unable to pull over I drove hoping to find a way to pull over for the safety of my wife and unborn child, the light turned off after 40 seconds of realizing it was on. A fully grown individual sitting in the seat weight 190+lbs has this happening to them. I have video footage and will try to attach it if possible. Most recently it happened today, 2/19/20 at 3:17pm.

The vehicle was towed to a collision center for the body damage and was then taken to tom denchel ford country prosser (630 wine country rd, prosser, wa 99350, (877) 221-5696) to be diagnosed, but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was not repaired.

The indicator light for the driver side airbag turns on at random times while driving. I had the error codes ran by the dealership and there is a malfunctioning weight sensor in the seat rail, which was recalled for the passenger side of this same make and model. This light coming on will not usually shut off until the truck is shut off and then it will reset. This has been occurring since april of 2019 and has slowly become more consistent. I have taken a photo of each occurrence when the issue started to become more persistent. The last time this happened was june 7th 2019. I have images from may 9, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23 2019 and june 7 2019 where it occurred multiple times that day.
Airbag light has been coming on over the past couple years. I have taken the truck in to ford dealer service centers for multiple visits and have spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to solve. Most recently, the truck was at the dealer with the airbag light on and while troubleshooting, the light turned off. As soon as the light was off, there was nothing else that could be done other than returning to the service center if/when the light came back on. I have been told that if the airbag light is on, none of the airbags will deploy. This is a very serious safety concern for a modern vehicle that I have been prudent in trying to remediate but have not been able to resolve the issue. Regarding what specifically occurs, when starting the truck either the airbag light will be on or off. If the light is on, it typically remains on and does not shut off regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated. If the light is off, it remains off and does not come on regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated. I have not yet been able to detect a pattern (time of year, weather, amount of time since it was last driven) with when the airbag light comes on.
Takita recall: passenger seat when occupied shows off; sometimes it shows on.. This is while the vehicle is in motion in city or on highway.

After about 800 miles I was driving on a road at 35 MPH and all of a sudden the airbag deployed on its own while I was moving at about 35 MPH. Traffic was light and I coasted until I hit the back of a stopped small truck.

Vehicle manufactured on 02/28/2014, ford recall 14c10 started the next day. The federal safety agency # 14v710000. Trucks passenger airbag sensor errors on dash and states to remove object from around the seat, there are no objects. All research indicates the seat gap is not correct and causes error from improper assembly. Error is intermittent but persistent disabling the pass airbag.
This pickup truck, owned and operated by a public utility, was involved in a low speed front end collision on a city street. The incident involved the front bumper of the f-150 making abrupt contact with the rear bumper and tailgate of a nissan frontier pickup. There were no injuries to the driver of either vehicle and no airbags deployed initially. Immediately after the collision, the truck was pulled over to the side of the road, the ignition was switched off, and the 4-way flashers were turned on. The keys were removed from the ignition and the driver exited the vehicle to exchange information with the driver of the other vehicle. While the drivers were exchanging information, approximately 5 minutes after the collision, the driver side airbag deployed. Within a minute or two after the airbag deployed, the interior of the truck erupted in flames, which were reported to have started in the area behind the front seat console. The inside of the cab was engulfed in flames, and the fire spread to the engine compartment and bed. The local fire department responded quickly, but the truck suffered severe fire damage.
While traveling at approximately 45 MPH down baseline road in roseville, ca. I rear ended a stationary honda accord. On impact, none of my airbags deployed. The front end of my truck was crushed inward and the trunk of the vehicle I impacted had been obliterated. I have major whiplash and additional body pain from the accident.
When vehicle is in motion and the passenger seat is occupied with an adult passenger who is seated properly and wearing seatbelt the passenger airbag off light occasionally comes on and will stay on for different time frames sometimes minutes or an entire trip before turning itself back on. We have brought the issue to the attention of the dealership on two separate occasions and on both occasions we were told that they tested the system and that it is functioning properly. We have also had a recurring problem with the front driver side tire pressure sensor where the tire was visibly low, and when checked was over 15 lbs low sometimes 20 lbs but the low tire pressure warning never came on. This has happened on several different occasions with the same tire sensor and each time was brought to the attention of the dealership it was purchased through and each time we have been assured that the sensors are working properly. Yet I have had the rear tire on the passenger side be low 5 lbs and the tire pressure sensor informed me that it was low. The tire states 44lbs as the recommendation for maximum inflation, they are the proper tires for the vehicle, and 25 percent would be at least 11 lbs low is my understanding. Yet when I asked if there is a certain loss of pressure that we should be informed by we were told no that some tires might just sense it sooner than other but that they were all working properly. We just wanted to express our concerns as we hope that these systems will function properly if they are needed in an emergency situation.

Passenger airbag wire harness too short. When back of seat was moved forward wires broke. Ford dealer tried to say it was operator error, but infact there was no slack on wires to move with seat.
