Moisture in a taillight housing of a 2015 Lariat F-150 caused the BLIS module and wiring harness to short out. The BLIS module is tied into multiple vehicle systems, and caused the following issues: Airbags turned off BLIS system turned off TPMS turned off Windows and door locks don't function Radio stuck in whatever setting it is in when faulted Air conditioning panel and all climate controls turn off During a road trip this happened. I was unable to egress the vehicle until I shut it off. It is summertime so the vehicle, without ac or the ability to control the windows, became very hot. I had kids in the car. Also, without airbags, window, and door control, if I were to crash the vehicle, I don't know if I could safely extract my family. The moisture in the taillight is a known issue, and is covered in GSB 22-7002, but I couldn't find a BLIS module GSB/TSB. However, the BLIS module failure is a known issue, and there are multiple diagnostic videos and write-ups describing this issue on YouTube and F-150 forums. This is a safety issue, and should promptly be addressed.

2015 F150 4d 4x4 traveling approximately 60 mph impacted a 2017 Toyota Sienna van on the driver’s side after it had impacted the center Jersey wall. F150 then impacted center Jersey wall on drivers side. None of the F150 air bags deployed.
I was driving 60 mph and a car pulled out in front of me causing me to Tbone the vehicle. Drivers Seat belt and airbag did not deploy causing me to hit the steering wheel then cracking my head on the wind shield. I bent the steering wheel gettin the force of the impacted and smashed the wind shield with my head causing my neck to bend. The accident has caused pain in my head, neck, left (hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder) right (hand, wrist) and chest that happen on 5/4/2022, in result of the safety mechanisms failing to properly work.
Experienced a head on collision with an animal at 74mph on route 93. Total damage to front end and air bags were not deployed. Injuries sustained

My father was involved in a single vehicle accident in september 2020, where he struck a utility pole with the front driver side bumper on his truck, causing the pole to break. His truck was traveling around 55 MPH on a state highway, when he suddenly had to avoid hitting a truck that braked in front of him, causing my father to swerve to the right. His truck went through a ditch before it came to a stop when it struck the utility pole. The air bag in the steering wheel came out but failed to inflate and my father hit his head on the steering wheel. He suffered with injuries which included bleeding on the brain and had to be air lifted to a trauma hospital and had to be put in icu!! He's still under the care of his doctors
Was driving on highway, cruise set at 55mph, came over a hill to a car stalled in the road. I couldn't stop, both vehicles declared total loss. Direct hit, front of my 2105 f150 to the rear end of a ford focus, approximately 40mph. Seatbelt tightened and locked up, left bruises across my hips, airbags did not deploy. Hit my face in the steering wheel, bruised knees on dash.
The airbag light is illuminated steady on. It began with the light only turning on when the vehicle was in warm/hot weather. Now, it is on consistency with each start. The dealer says there is a fault with the seatbelt airbags that would inflate from the seatbelts in the instance of an accident. Although no accident has occurred, this now requires full replacement at $1,000+ cost.
The plastic around the ford emblem bottom side of the column air bag is cracked. I'm concerned that this might affect the safe operation of the bag, allowing moisture to enter into st sealed system. Also the cracked plastic is very sharp
I had a significant front end collision and the airbags did not deploy. I was traveling at least 70 MPH on the interstate when I collided with another vehicle.
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at 55 MPH and starting to fall asleep behind the wheel, the vehicle veered to the left to avoid crashing into a tree but when the brake pedal was pressed it failed to stop the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into a tree. The air bags did not deploy. The contact (driver) sustained chest, head, and a fractured sternum injuries when he hit the steering wheel and his girlfriend (front passenger) sustained a back injuries. Both injuries requested medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed via flatbed to impound lot. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not diagnosed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 20,000. *tt *jb consumer stated I'm very surprised to hear that travelers insurance company just towed and destroyed the vehicle when I expressly told them that the airbags did not deploy and that the medical benefits were maxed out. I thought for sure that insurance companies dissected vehicles in such major accidents and being notified by the owner that the equipment was faulty that they did not do a post mortem. My girlfriend got a broken back in the injury, had to have surgery and will most likely be in pain for the rest of her life. I could not work or lift anything over 6 months until my sternum healed itself and had to live through pain while I healed. I still feel a small feeling in my chest.
Hit a tree at 55 miles per hour and airbags never deployed. Went from 55miles per hour to 0 instantly and if it wasn't for us wearing seat belts we would both be dead. The passenger got 3 cracked vertebrae and will be disabled for life. The driver hit the steering wheel and got a crushed his sternum which leaves him immobile for 6months to let his sternum heal on it's own.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While accelerating from a stop sign, the contact crashed into the rear driver's side of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy and the driver's seat belt exploded, which included smoke and a burning odor. The contact sustained back injuries that did not require medical attention. The other driver was not injured. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and the body damage was repaired, but the failures were not diagnosed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v568000 (seat belts, structure). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,178.
Unknown if takata recall or other air bag issue. I am investigating officer not vehicle owner. Observed that post moving 2 car intersection crash and airbag deployment, b-pillar started on fire, melting seat belt, most of b-pillar and parts of curtain and side airbags. Fire put itself out. Owner was not injured but concerned. Heat appeared to have melted seat belt through, air bags were burnt. Case#m18-1676
April 26, 2017 the following components malfunctioned simultaneously when returning to truck from shopping: running boards would not deploy or retract; airbag(s) warning light on dash was lit; climate control system, both heat and cooling was out of service; front windows would not respond to controls; seat comfort functions did not work; mirror adjustment and retraction inoperable; back-up system and warnings inoperable; cross traffic system fault; blind spot warning error. Wiring harnesses replaces and picked truck up may 12th 2017. That evening while driving with a trailer, a message appeared concerning the trailer being disconnected. That disappeared and then the following happened: warning messages began to appear on the driver's display screen saying, 'your vehicle is not in park', 'check manual', 'downhill assist not operational'. Then the lights went out, the truck lost power (the engine was still running), it shifted into downhill assist, front windows didn't work, passenger seat moved by itself, driver's seat began to go back as if the truck was turned off, then it returned to driving position, the sync display went dead and came back on, the driver's display shut down and came back on. All these things continued to repeat as bells sounded and I limped 5 miles back to my son's house. Same problems exhibited when son took truck to the dealer the following am without trailer. Another harness replaced. Picked up truck and drove without incident about 800 miles. When starting truck, trailer message reoccurred. There was no trailer attached. Two days later after being parked, all the 1st set of failures reoccurred. Running boards, AC-heat, air bags, windows, mirrors, cross traffic system, blind spot warning were all inoperable.
While passanger seat is occupied by a fully grown adult with seatbelt fastened, airbag turns off, seemingly at random. Vehicle was in motion on city streets.
Driving the ford f150 (v6 ecoboost) on a city street (35 MPH) it has failed at random times (I've now seen this issue more than 3 times) usually with 3 major failures. These 3 failures (1) engine, transmission, and emissions 2) brakes & suspension 3) restratins & driver assistance) cause the truck to transition to 'limp' mode which can actually be just as hazardous. If I'm turning onto a road with a 55+ MPH speed limit I need to accelerate but if this system fails, along with the restraints & driver assistance, this could be a very dangerous and life threatening situation. The reason why is that the restraints & driver assistance goes off now disabling my airbags, etc. And if I now get hit (because now I'm in limp mode going about 7 MPH) I have lost a great deal of 'built-in' protection without the airbags. Translate that to driving on a highway and encountering this situation and you can see that loss of life is not out of the question. I've taken the truck back to ford for the warranty work and they say they believe it's an electronic throttle body controller that has gone bad and needs to be replaced but right now it's at least 3 weeks before they can get a replacement part. Compounding this issue is that ford had issued an internal recall for v8's built at the same plant as my v6 ecoboost truck for the same type of issue.
Airbag light on dash illuminated took truck to dealer found seat position sensor under passenger seat broken changed sensor no explanation how sensor might have gotten broken. Not covered by warranty bad ford engineering.
During a accident where I rear ended another vehicle that was either stopped or at a very slow roll on a off-ramp (traffic was backed up from a wreck further up), neither my airbags or my seat belt restrained me. The result being me hitting the steering wheel with my chest and abdomen. I had bruising on my lower abdomen and extensive injuries to my back, neck and hips. The chiropractor hopes to have me back to 80-90% of "normal" (how I was before the wreck) within 2-2 1/2 months. I estimate my speed upon impact to be between 50-60 MPH.
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 45 MPH, the vehicle jerked to the left and the contact crashed into a guardrail. A police report was filed. The air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the lower back and had a slight concussion. Medical attention was required. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the driver side lower ball joint failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000. The vehicle was destroyed.
While driving brand new 2015 f150xlt supercrew with 6.5ft bed I was full stopped about 20ft behind a car that was waiting for another car to turn as I looked up in rear view mirror saw another truck coming behind me down hill at approximatley 45mph the speed limit on the state route 2 lane just before entering town. I heard him lock up his brakes and slam into the back of my truck pushing me 15 to 20ft slamming me into the SUV in front of me hitting me at dead stop square on in the back driving me square on into vehicle infront of me, no airbag ever deployed I was thrust agianst the steering wheel in a snapping action. The impact was so forcefull it moved the supercrew back seat from the down position to the full upright and locked in place position agianst the back of the cab. The truck was only 6 days old with 370 miles on it. With that impact front and back I would think airbags would have deployed. The force of the impact bent the frame down in the back and bent the frame up in the front see the attached pictures.
