2007 Ford Focus: airbag warning light

Filed Sep 26, 2022 · Airbags · TX

The driver airbag light keeps going off and on. I went to ford dealer shop to fix it. Only shortly after it came back on. I tried different tricks online and they dont last long. This is a common issue among ford focus owners. The connection plug from airbag to the steering wheel is bad and it just loses connection from time to time. Focus owners cant just DIY sensitive parts like airbag to temporarly fix it nor can we spend big bucks to visit dealersshop everytime. They charged me $140 just look at my car. And told me $700 for airbag replacement, when all that needs replacing is the faulty connecting plug. Ford knows this but is getting away with jeopordizing with customers lives for money. Please make this recall issue so ford will fix for all focus owners before people dies from this well known focus issue because the driverside airbag failes to deploy. Please.

While having tires mounted and checking the reason for illumination of the instrument panel airbag light the dealership discovered that my front passenger air bag was defective. I called ford and was advised that my VIN number was not part of the recall and that they would contact me in 30 days

I have just acquired this vehicle in oct or sep of 2018. It has been a pretty good car up until now. The airbag light comes on and off intermittently and now the engine light is on. My mechanic checked why the engine light was on with his computer and has said it's a fuel issue. I take it back to him on thursday to go over the fuel system and engine to better diagnose the issue. In the meantime, I've been looking up various complaints and issues with my 2007 ford focus and not stating the specific issues and the two main complaints and recalls that keep coming upstate that there have been numerous airbags and fuel system issues. These are both the issues I'm having. The airbags light keeps coming on and off without the system being reset. The engine light is on and hasn't gone off. It came on when my husband filled the tank up about 3-4 weeks ago. The only reason we've not had my mechanic look at is due to income. I'm disabled, my husband is in the process of retiring in september and he was injured on the job and has been out for about 5 months. I wouldn't have even looked on the internet to see if there were recalls but we're making a trip to durham in july and need a reliable vehicle and are concerned about the engine catching fire or not getting the fuel needed. Please let me know if this has been any safety issues with this make and model of car. Thank you.

I've had to get the wheel bearings fixed 3 times. The electrical warning lights go off and on for example the engine light comes on and then goes off for no reason and the same with the airbag light. Also the sensor for the passenger seat that senses a person or a inanimate load is incorrect sometimes. And last, when I punch my excellorator to go on the freeway, it doesn't kick into overdrive every time. More times it doesn't than does.

Passenger side airbag warning light comes on and off , but mostly stays on for a prolonged period of time. And for no obvious reason, it has been doing this for quite a long time. Being in motion or sitting still doesn't seem to change the pattern nor do rough roads vs smooth roads. Is this takata related ?

Air bag indicator light on dashboard was intermittent at first depending on temperature and humidity, but for past two years it has been on constantly. Have checked wiring harness underneath front passenger seat since I was told it was a loose connection causing the light to come on. This seemed to fix the issue at times, but no longer does.

The airbag warning light for the driver's side airbag on the dashboard goes on and off and has been doing this for the past couple of years. (I am not sure exactly when it began, since when the light went off, I thought the problem was over) I have had a car repair shop try to fix it several times, but the problem has continued. The warning light comes on and stays on (in every season of the year) when the weather is humid or damp and goes off when the air is drier. The mechanics say the airbag will not deploy when the airbag light is on and that I have to replace the airbag at a cost of around $400. I do not believe it is a takata airbag, but am not sure. Still, it is defective and I think these airbags should be inspected in other ford focus models in which they are installed. Also the automatic door lock (locking from the driver's side front door) stopped working for the front passenger's side door more than a year ago. I now have to lock and unlock it manually from the inside, requiring the passenger to wait outside the car while I (driver) get into the car and unlock the passenger side door. This poses a safety issue for the front seat passenger.

The airbag light in the dashboard stays on all of the time. The driver and passenger seat belt comes unbuckled sometimes for no apparent reason, and has been doing this since I acquired the car in 2012.
