Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Air bag light came on when vehicle was started and did not turn off. Dealer diagnosed it to be a seat belt tensioner switch and repaired it a cost of $700.+ light went out .6 months later light came and dealer diagnosed it to be the drivers seat belt tensioner this time, cost to repair $700+. Needless to say it has not been replaced. I feel this is a safety issue Ford needs to address with a recall or reimburse owners this cost which is to high in my estimation.”
