2015 Ford Mustang: airbag warning light

Filed Aug 27, 2024 · Airbags · MO

The airbag light is on, the vehicle has not been in an accident. The vehicle has less than 50k miles on it. The bags have never deployed. I did not have this repaired. There is a seatbelt recall that affects airbags... Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2015 Ford Mustang vehicles manufactured August 18, 2014, to October 2, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the passenger safety belt tension sensor may misclassify the size of the front passenger seat occupant. This could cause a child size occupant to be classified as an adult and an adult passenger to be classified as a child passenger. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." Does this cause the airbag light to come on???

There is a well known evaporator core issue with the Ford Mustangs/Trucks that were produced between the 2015-2017 models. Freon leaks out of the evaporator core due to poor build quality this creates a white film on the windshield of the vehicle that makes it hard for drivers to see. This happened to me when I first bought my car and I could have crashed but was able to safely pull over and clean the windshield off. This film buildup can happen at anytime and also releases an unpleasant order into the atmosphere that should not be breathed in and is very harmful to the environment. Ford is well aware of this issue and decided to avoid doing a recall to prevent the company from losing money. I am also having an airbag issue on my Mustang this one is current. I have not been in any accidents or driven the car in anyway to make the light come on. The drivers side airbag light is on and is indicating that their is an issue with my airbag system. This is a huge safety concern and I don't want to wait for something to happen for either of these issues to be fixed. The AC issue is new for me with Ford but out of the 4 mustangs I have owned 3 of them have all had recalls for an airbag issue. The first was my 2005 V6 base model. The second was my 2010 Mustang GT. and the third was my 2014 Mustang GT. This is now my 4th mustang and still having air bag issues. Please do something about any of these issues if you can. I am sure numerous of other people have experienced what I am experiencing. I have even done research and seen forums that are over 150 pages long regarding some of the safety issues mentioned in this message. Please and Thank You Very Much

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front passenger's side seat belt and air bag warning lights were illuminated, while there was no passenger occupying the passenger seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a faulty Occupant Classification Module (OCM) sensor. The dealer informed the contact that the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000. Contact Additional comments: The seat belt and air bag warning lights will turn on randomly and at all different speeds. There seems to be no correleation when the sensor decides to fail. Richmond Ford West said they had never seen this failure before. They advised that if their was a person in the passenger seat, the lights were illuminated (sensor not working) and the car was to get into a crash, the airbags would not go off. Current, I only drive the car alone. I talked to Ford Customer Service about this clear safety issue and concern, they said they would not offer any help in the repair and it would cost $2000 ($1600 for the part and $400) for the labor. This appears to be a very rare, but significant safety issue for the car for a part to randomly fail through no fault of the owner.

Air bag light will stay on during hot days or if car has been left outside in heat during initial startup. Turning car off then on sometimes corrects the issue. Car had 55k miles on it when it first started to happen. Seen issue happening to many other 2015-17 mustang owners online

When traveling at 65 miles a hour the airbag light, traction control lights and ABS light came on the vehicle also lost power steering. I was told that because the airbag light was on the airbags would not function. Dealers report that rear driver hub driver side caused the issue. Dealer refused to cover under warranty even though airbag system was still under warranty.

Air bag defect since new vehicle delivery. I took delivery of this vehicle about two weeks ago and immediately left with it on vacation. When driving off the dealer lot I noticed that the air bag light in the dash was on. But thought this to be normal as that is how the dealer delivered it to me and that I am used to gm vehicles where the air bag light is on under proper conditions. Today while at the dealers body shop for minor paint repair I was told to immediately take the vehicle to their mechanical shop as the light on a ford indicates the system is not working. The dealer was accommodating and in short order diagnosed the problem to be a defective drivers side air bag. They then took the part out of a similar new car in stock and replaced mine. The problem was not solved. I am now driving a loaner vehicle and being told that a clock spring is on order.
