Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
My airbag light came on 2 days after driver side air bag was replaced. Dealer wanted $129.50 to tell me the reason. After checking I was told it is somewhere in the wiring in the passenger seat and it will cost me $500. To remove the seat and the seat covers and an estimated $500 to fix the wiring problem. I am [xxx] and that is a lot of money for me to pay. Why is a problem like that my problem and not ford motor??? I have been told by several people that ford had a lot of problems with my model 2007 ford fusion. Again why is a safety problem mine and not ford motor??.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Air bag light comes on and stays on -this happened shortly after the car's airbag recall was taken care of- had never had a problem before.
After getting the Ford Airbag recall work fixed on my teenage son's vehicle, the airbag dashboard light came on (a few weeks later). Upon taking it to the dealer, they told me the car needed a new battery. I agreed to have it replaced, despite NOT having any previous battery issues. After the battery was replaced, the airbag light was still coming on. After a diagnostic, it was discovered the passenger side sensor needs repaired (over $1,000 cost to complete this work). This is absolutely ridiculous, had NO PROBLEMS until Ford replaced my airbags. I was further told not replacing this sensor means NO AIRBAGS will deploy if in an accident. Now the SAFETY of my son is in YOUR HANDS FORD!!! If nothing is wrong with the airbags themselves, just a faulty passenger sensor....the driver airbag should still work!! THIS IS UNBELIEVALBE!! All this after waiting for over THREE HOURS at the dealer!!!
I took my car to have the airbag recall fixed and the dealership told me my airbags being replaced won't make my airbag light on the dash go off. It is something something else idk they wanted to charge me to diagnose it. It just doesn't make sense they are fixing the airbags yet the airbag light will not go off even after they are replaced. Makes absolutely no sense.
My air bag light is on. Have tried to have it fixed a few years ago, but is still on. Had the air bag replaced and it's still on.

"takata recall"my car was involved in a fender bender with the air bag not deploying, prior to that the check airbag light remained on. The marlow auto body collision center located in oxon hill maryland did try to look at it as to why I did not turn off, they even replaced the fuse, however I received a letter in the mail informing me there was a recall. I have contacted and tried to bring the vehicle into ford located in camp springs maryland on several occasions and they stated they never received the part and they were unable to accommodate my repair. I have since went back to marlow auto body this year 2018 for help but they stated I should contact the nhts to complain.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While the vehicle was stationary and while driving various speeds, the air bag indicator illuminated without warning. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. A dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v024000 (air bags) as a potential cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,250. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I have been calling the surrounding dealerships to help my get my car in for the recall for over a year and a half and now that I have to pay for my renewal fees with the dmv, I have to get the car smogged and it will not pass due to the airbag indicator light not turning off. I was told that the part is not in yet and yet here we are late september 2018.
