This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I first noticed that my air bag dash light began blinking. I decided that it should be repaired in that I do travel quite a bit for work on heavily traveled highways here in Indiana. I took the vehicle to butler Ford here close to my residence and ask that the warning light on be repaired along with a Ford recall #05S28 and a windshield wiper problem. When I returned for the vehicle the warning light was still blinking but the other two items had been taken care of. I was handed a bill for 126 dollars and the flashing light was not fixed. The repair bill stated "pass side air bag switch shorted. No further action was taken to repair the problem.
Drivers side air bag indicator light, comes on/stays on/then sometimes goes off. Ford dealer says airbag will probably not work in crash / needs to be replaced. Checked by tower Ford twice in one week. Reset light=$52, second time Ford dealer wants to replace air bag module @ $195. Only 33,298 miles. Safety item should be repaired /" built Ford tough"!
