The airbag light suddenly came on one day and it does not go out. I researched it on google and it appears to be very common in ford focus vehicles. The safety issue is that in my research I learned although this is a common issue, if the light is on the air bag will not work if needed.

Air bag light is stuck on randomly makes a "dinging" sound. Tires continue to wear out at a rapid speed, ignition switch will get stuck an engine will not turn over-can't find a cause. And the A/C stopped working this week, mechanic looking for a leak unable to figure out these issues and why they all started with in past month. Each problem they can't find solutions or tell me it's probably a sensor or the heat. They hook it up to the computer and it shows nothing wrong?!?!

The airbag light suddenly came on one day. I researched it on google and it appears to be very common in ford focus vehicles. My mechanic is unable to address the issue stating it must be done at a ford dealetship out and the problem is in the brain /module of the car. For these reasons I thought there would have been a recall. The safety issue is that in my research I learned although this is a common issue, if the light is on the air bag will not work if needed.

My 2009 focus ses was seen by the dealer for the airbag light being constantly on in november 2011. They replaced the passenger side airbag module. This winter (2012) the airbag light has come on again. It apparently has something to do with hot/cold temps.

2009 ford focus. Consumer states problem with ticking noise *tgw the consumer stated there were engine/exhaust noise emitting from the vehicle after it was turned off. According to the dealer, some ford vehicle may exhibit a ticking/pinging noise from the hot exhaust after the engine is turned off and the exhaust cools down, which is due to the exhaust system expanding and contracting during heating and cooling cycles. The ticking/pinging should be considered normal. The brake fluid light illuminated and it was determined the fluid was low. The tires were found to be out of round, the air bag light illuminated. The TPMS light illuminated due to low pressure in one of the tires. It was determined that one of the tires had a leak.
