5/9/2021 The SRS dashboard light came on with a bell warning. Bell quits after a short time but the light stays on solid. When turning ignition on, light and bell comes on, blinks 3 times, does this 6 times and then stays on solid. When driving hear bell for 5 times, this repeats later for a total of 5 times. After turning the ignition switch on/off I hear a sound from under the driver or passenger seat. The passenger side air bag light does light. I bought this car new.

Air bag light comes on and blinks code 3 3 then dings an alarm 5 dings x 5 times every 30 minutes, light stays on. I understand code 33 or 34 are seat belt pretentioners that are known to fail on mid 2000's ford vehicles. Mine is 2006 grand marquis. This appears to be a defect in materials causing a saftey concern for myself and passengers. The air bag system is disabled until repaired and the repair is very expensive. The vehicle has not been in an accident and it has been diagnosed as a driver side pretentioner high resistance failure. The mechanic suggested they replace both driver and passenger side since the passenger side will most likely also fail soon according to his experiance. This should be recalled to have pretensioners replaced since it is a known defect and safety hazard caused by ford parts.

Tamara I just love this car. I don't know why they have to make cheaper cars an smaller trunks. Any way on driver side the air bag light is on. An as I'm trying to get somewhere. Than the beeping noise starts up randomly an it can get on your nerves. But if I take it to a dealerships I can't afford their prices. Thankyou. Oh I love how big the trunk is.

Air bag light stays on and makes a pinging noise often. The car has never been in an accident. They should have a recall on this. Seems it is a safety issue.

My air bag light came on and warning beeps consecutively 5 times then stops and repeats with 5 beeps. After checking the manual I went online and found out there are several complaints regarding this make and model having the same prolem. Why is there so recall???? Also would seem to be a hazard regarding no airbag deploy and very expensive to fix.
