2012 Ford Focus: airbag warning light

Filed Oct 22, 2019 · Airbags, Driver assistance · FL

My ford focus has been having electrical issues for several months now. I have asked ford to look at my car and they stated it will be $150 to do that. I do not have the money. My major concern is the air bags. My light has been coming off and on and I do not think the air bags will employ. I have seen several complaints on your web site and online as well. Some cars have been in accidents and having the same issue and airbags did not employ. I am terrified this will happen and not save a life. I have an autistic 13 yr old that rides in the passenger side and myself are very concerned!. Also I have been following online a big issue with the electrical in the middle isle which controls the radio and airbags and whatever other warning lights and controls may be. My radio shorted out with loud popping and srcreehing nose then blew out. I think the electrical is all bad in the unit which may be effecting the airbags. Please I am asking for a very concerned safety concern to save a life regarding the airbags please look into a recall regarding this. I am not the first one tho complain about this. Thank you very much. I do have pictures with the airbag light on and off. It is not a push button! I can send pictures if you need them. I am able to do currently. Please let me know. Please help

Air bag light: our car was parked, and got hit by another car. This damaged the frame, but the air bag light went off and the air bags didn't engage. After the mechanic fixed our car the air bag light won't go off, and the dealership hasn't been able to clear it out. We have asked multiple times for them to fix it, and they say they don't know what's wrong. I don't know if my air bags will work, and they don't know what's wrong. I have had this problem for 5 years now, and every time I bring my car in the dealership ignores the air bag light.

Before purchasing this vehicle that has a rebuilt title and the airbag light was illuminated, I had a diagnostic test performed by my local ford service dept. Everything checked out fine with the exception of replacing the air bag. After the air bag was replaced (~$1000 later), they proceed to tell me that the airbag light is still on and the sensors need to be replaced and it will cost us another $2000. If this was known at the time of the diagnostic, we would have never made this purchase.

On 10/23/2015 at 51,289 miles, I took the car in because the car intermitterly would not start & when taking off from 1st to 2nd gear, it was jerky. I would have to let off the gas. I also experienced a rubbing & scraping sound that I found out is what they said was the transmission clutch shuddering. The clutch & TCM (transmission control module) were replaced under the ford technical service bulletins tsb15-0120 & tsb-15-0121. On 10/12/2016 at 71,906 miles, I took the car back into the same local ford dealer for shuddering again. They replaced the clutch again & reprogrammed the PCM/TCM & preformed an adaptive learn procedure. I still experience a grinding sound mainly while turning, but have been assured that it is normal & not an issue. My most recent issue is my airbag light came on stationary (no flashing). I currently have less than 80,000 mile on the car. I took it into my local ford dealer & the car gave code dtc b00c2-11-ocsm (right front seatbelt retractor assembly shorted). It will cost over $700 to replace!!! I was told if I am in an accident where the airbags need to deploy, they will not deploy......none of them! Less important problems I've experienced is the manual lumbar in the driver seat broke & the "beauty ring" around the headlight switch cracked. Ford does not sell just that piece. You have to buy the whole cover that also goes around the air vent right above it even though they are separate pieces clipped together, which is $45.
