My drivers side seat belt works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t and also my passenger side airbag light stays on when starting the car it flashes a few times and then stays on
The contact owns a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while the vehicle was started, the driver’s side air bag warning light intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a driver’s air bag pretensioner fault and that the seat belt pretensioner needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,842.
Passenger seat belt pre-tensioner has malfunctioned. Air bag check light flashing code 34. My mechanic informs me the entire SRS will not function in a crash. He was informed by Ford that a replacement part is no longer available. The vehicle mileage is around 43,000. No rust and no collision damage. With the numerous complaints about this same problem why hasn't a safety recall be issued? Why hasn't Ford been required to stock replacement parts for a longer time?
Airbag fault code 34. Passenger side seatbelt pretensions circuit resistance outside limits. Circuit was damaged by static discharge from human to outside of door. Vehicle was parked during both incidents. No accident. No detonation of explosive charge. Same problem occurred 2 years ago on driver side with code 33. Numerous reports from other consumers. Please inquire to repair facility 'safetyrestore dotcom' for number of these failures. Airbags are inop when fault occurs. Need shielded circuit to prevent reoccurrence.
The seat belt lite started flashing then went out and now the alarm goes off and rings 5 times and does it 5 times it does this when you start the car
The air bag light on the driver side stays on and sometimes blinks. This car only has 21,523 miles on it. I'm told this is an indication of a malfunctioning air bag operation. Has a recall been issued on this malfunction. The air bag light comes on when the car is stationary and moving. This has created a fear of the air bag not operating correctly in the event of an accident. The repair for it is unknown to me.
Air bag light blinks code 34 indicating problem with passenger pre-tensioner. Suspect air bags inop. Dealer quoted $1,500 to repar
Vehicle well maintained. 81,000 miles. Getting 3 4 airbag code. I am seeing repairs around $1300-$1400. And many many folks are having the same issue. Car inspection due this month. Please force manufacturer to cover this safety repair.
