TAKATA RECALL THE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR, WHEN A PASSENGER IS SETTING IN THE CAR SEAT AND THE CAR IS MOVING, I HAVE TAKEN NOTE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH PANEL WILL GO OFF AND OWN. I HAVE NOT SEEN THE LIGHT GO OFF AND OWN.
NHTSA complaint #11154718 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
SEATS
A SPRING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE FAILED, CAUSING THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO ILLUMINATE AND DEACTIVATE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT IMPACT REQUIRING AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE SEAT BELT AND BUCKLE WAS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED EVERY TIME THE DRIVER FASTENS THE SEAT BELT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF WHEN THE DRIVER FASTENS THE SEAT BELT. THE DEALER TRACED THIS TO A FAULTY SEAT BELT LATCH. FROM READING ON OWNERS' BLOGS OF THIS MODEL, OVER SEVERAL YEARS INCLUDING MY MODEL YEAR, MY PROBLEM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A UNIQUE OR RARE OCCURRENCE. THE MOST COMMON CAUSES ARE WORN OR BROKEN SPRINGS ON THE SWITCH IN THE SEAT BELT LATCH. THE SWITCH IN THE SEAT BELT LATCH NOT RECOGNIZING THE DRIVER IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT FASTENED CAUSES THE LIGHT TO GO ON AND DEACTIVATE THE AIRBAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM FOR THE DRIVER. THIS SAFETY ITEM SHOULD BE A MODEL RECALL.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAS BEEN LOOSE FOR A WHILE. THE POWER CONTROLS TO ADJUST SEAT POSITION FAILED OVER A YEAR AGO. THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK MY HUSBAND EXPERIENCED THE FEELING OF THE SEAT DISCONNECTING. IT HAS DETACHED FROM THE TRACK. THE WELDING BECAME UNWELDED. THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT HAS NOT BEEN LATCHING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INCIDENT AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE SAME PROBLEMS AND YET FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAYS THAT THERE IS NO DEFECT. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS OF YET. WE ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIRS. IT IS OUR ONLY FAMILY VEHICLE. AND THEREFORE WE CANNOT GO ANYWHERE FOR FEAR OF SAFETY REASONS. HOWEVER MY HUSBAND MUST STILL DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK.
