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 ?
2007 Ford Focus airbags complaints

My airbag on the driver side went out the light is on and won't go out, also the power steering is going out the vehicle have under 90 thousand miles on it I have afraid to drive for those reasons it was purchased in 2006 new with 2 tens of a mile on it. I sent an email a year or so ago and never heard from you all. Can't afford to have it repaired airbag over $400 dollars and so is the power steering.thanks in advance.
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.
While driving 70 on the turnpike the driver side side airbag deployed out of the seat without any type of impact or accident causing it to do so. The deployment caused numerous injuries. There are no signs of any damage to the vehicle that would have caused the airbag to deploy. Responding officers/deputies did not file a police report because there was no accident. The ford collision center cannot find the reason for deployment and the sensor box is being shipped to ford for investigation. The car remains I repaired.
The airbag light on the driver side came on and won't go out. Ford focus 2007 power steering motor is going out. I had my car serviced in 2016 and found out about the power steering was going out . Thanks
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.
The air bag light stays on almost all the time and the passager seat belt will come unlashed at times, this has happened more then once with in this last year 2016.
Side airbag, contained inside my seat on my left side as I drove, inflated suddenly and violently and unprompted by any collision event. The vehicle was in motion at the time, travelling 50 MPH in a straight line in the center lane on an otherwise empty road.

The air bag light indicating that the passenger air bag even when there's a passenger on board will indicate the airbag is off. It has been doing this everysince I got the car 4 years ago. Now I have a child and people who ride in the passenger seat and safety has become a huge concern there are many reports online of this issue including on here. My family and I cannot afford to replace this or fix this our selves to my knowledge the only aftermarket parts on my car our the tires and all of the mounts. For the original manufactured mounts failed and broke.

Ford has put out a recall on the airbag sensor and it's not working so my light for my airbag stays on indicating the airbag is disabled and I can't afford to get it fixed and I've read online that a lot of people have been complaining about the problem with the airbag sensor not working properly for the 2007 ford focus you need to do an investigation on this problem asap when I start my car up the light for the airbag pops on and stays on the whole time I'm driving it is totally disabled and that's not good at all there needs to be a recall on this asap I have gone to a lot of websites and seen many people complaining about this problem
I took an exit off the highway and came to a stop sign. When I turned left at about 15 to 20 MPH, I straightened out my vehicle, and at between 25-30 MPH, my driver's side airbag deployed out of my driver's seat without any reason.I did not crash into anything nor did anything crash into me. The weather was sunny, with no precipitation, and the roads were clear with no ice or snow. After the airbag deployed, the airbag light came on. The mileage was 109,812. When I took my vehicle to the dealership, they could find no reason why the airbag deployed. They wanted me to replace modules and sensors, totaling $2,800. Because there was no collision, my insurance refused to help. Ford customer service told me that they will not do anything because it is past the date of warranty. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be investigated.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford focus. While driving over 50 MPH, the vehicle became unstable and was difficult to drive in a straight line. In addition, the air bag sensor and overdrive sensor lights suddenly illuminated while operating the vehicle. The cause of the failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 155,000. Updated 02/18/16
My air bag lights comes on and off. Car hasnt been wrecked but when light comes on it will stay on for half and day. These two lights passenger and driver will come on while car is in motion going down highway.
Ran into a guard rail front on. Air bags never went off
For some reason, my airbag light continues to stay on for a few days and then may go off for a day before coming back on. No one has been able to figure out whey this is happening. I want to make sure this is not an airbag sensor issue or something related to the recall issues with takata. Thanks you and please get back to me as soon as you can.
I am very worried about airbag light on the dash which is presently lit up since 2012. I took it to several mechanics and they won't do anything about since it is not on the list. Can someone please check and make sure takata has not extended to ford focus 2007 for me? Thank you, sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Traveling at 45 MPH, vehicle pulls out in front of mine and my car impacted the front end of their vehicle. Front end of my vehicle was totally damaged and airbags did not deploy but air bag light came on. Took to dealership and had fixed. Six months later the air bag light has came on and stays on. My moms ford focus has not been wrecked or involved in any crash and her air bag light is on and wont got off.
We were driving north at 50 MPH, man going east rolled through stop sign. He t-boned us square in both driver side doors, rolling us over twice, landing back on the driver side of the car. Out of 7 airbags only one deployed. The air bag that deployed was on the passenger seat on the opposite side of where the impact occurred. I have the car, it has been untouched other than tow truck company and is locked in my parents garage, as we don't know what to do with it or next. We have tons of pictures. Pictures of the car, the scene, we have it all. Thank you rw
I wrecked my car and in the accident no airbags were deployed. Later after the local mechanic fixed the damage he returned the car to me and within 24 hours the computer reset itself and the airbag light came on indicating a problem. The light has never turned off except when the car is shut off and the airbags never have come out.
1) the airbag did not deploy in an accident several years ago ( approx. December, 2011 - mileage was approx. 45,000) when the car collided with an oncoming car and was damaged on the front end and driver's side. No one was injured. During the past 2 or 3 years, I have noticed that the driver's side airbag warning light has been going on and off for days at a time. It seems to be affected by heat and humidity. It seems to go on when the weather is humid and off when the air is dry, at all times of the year. I am not sure whether the airbag would deploy when it is necessary. 2) during the past year, the power steering has making a loud grinding noise when I turn the steering wheel either right or left. A mechanic who worked on it said he put a clamp on it and refilled the steering fluid, which helped for a few weeks, but the problem has returned. So far the steering has worked well, but I'm concerned that power steering is defective and wearing out too soon.the mechanic said it was safe to drive.
I was driving south in the lane 2. The other driver was driving north in the first lane. The other driver was attempting a left turn she could not see past traffic in the south first lane so she continued to turn. I then t-boned the other drive. She was cited at fault for failing to yield the right of way. My air bags attempted to deploy but they did not
Spring broke on air bag for no reason. Light did come on and off in the dash board. I' m writing this to inform the board that this seems to be an additional problem with these airbags. Furthermore I feel it should not be the responsibility of the consumer to pay for the repair for the amount of four hundred a d fifty dollars..

Was driving down the road at the posted speed limit of 35 MPH. Hit a patch of ice on the untreated icy roads in glocester ri . Caused me to increase speed while spinning in circles . Ended up hitting a tree with the front quarter panel on the passenger side destroyed everything on that side under the hood and the chasie in the front!! Next I spun again hitting the front bumper on the right side! Air bags never deployed and they should have at the speed and velocity the car hit the tree at!
