2005 Ford F-150 air bags problems

“My airbag light is on and the dealership says I have no active recalls but when I ask about recall number 11V-107 no one can confirm the when and where for this recall. I would like it repaired at no cost and the criteria of this recall number.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK INTO IT'S BUCKLE. THE BUCKLE FAILS TO ACTIVATE THE LOCK AND RELEASE THE SEAT BELT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN A VEHICLE SLIPPED ON ICE IN FRONT OF THEIR VEHICLE, IN ORDER TO AVOID CRASHING, THE CONTACT ENDED UP STEERING INTO A NEARBY DITCH CRASHING INTO TREES. THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE FAILED TO SECURE THE SEAT BELT CAUSING IT TO SWING AND HIT THE CONTACT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT CAUSED HIS TEETH TO BE FRACTURED AND MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO HAD NOT DIAGNOSED ANYTHING REGARDING THE SEAT BELT AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,00.”

“JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES AND TURNS ON WHEN DRIVING LOOKED INTO ISSUE. FOUND RECALL FOR AIRBAG THAT CAUSES THIS. RECALL 11S18B. CONTACTED FORD THEY SAID RECALL HAD NOT BEEN PERFORMED AND SET UP APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT DONE. FORD COMPLETED RECALL. PICKED UP VEHICLE DROVE 1000 FEET AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. TURNED AROUND AND INFORMED SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL HAS NOTHING TO SO WITH THE AIRBAG OR LIGHT AND THAT IF I PAY 100 THEY WILL DIAGNOSE VEHICLE. I INFORMED THEM THAT IT SHOWS RIGHT ON FOR THAT THE RECALL CAUSES LIGHT TO FLASH AND POSSIBLY AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THEY TOLD ME IT DOES NOT AND I WAS WRONG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V107000 (AIR BAGS). AUFFENBERG FORD O'FALLON (115 REGENCY PARK, O'FALLON, IL 62269, (618) 632-0090) REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL AS THE WIRING HARNESS ON MARCH 22, 2011, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED.

“I JUST PURCHASED A 2005 FORD F150,SO I CAME HERE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY RECALLS AND THEIR IS. 11V107000 IS THE RECALL NUMBER.I WILL ALSO ADD A PICTURE. WHAT DO I DO TO HAVE THIS FIXED?”

“TAKATA RECALL---MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AROUND OCT OF 2015. I STARTED THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT, PUT MY SEAT BELT ON, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE AND THE BAG EXPLODED BEFORE EVEN LETTING OFF THE BRAKE. IT STARTLED ME BEYOND BELIEF, THE HORN WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, THE CLOUD OF IGNITION WAS ALL OVER ME AND FILLED THE CAB, AND THE IGNITOR BRUISED MY HAND. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS A RECALL AND I HAD IT TOWED TO LEIF JOHNSON FORD IN AUSTIN TX. THE VEHICLE SAT IN THEIR LOT FOR ONE WEEK AS THE DEALER AND MYSELF WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH FORD HQ IN MICHIGAN. I FINALLY ENDED PICKING UP THE TRUCK BECAUSE I NEED IT FOR WORK. FORD SAID THEY SENT ME RECALL NOTICES IN THE MAIL...I NEVER RECEIVED ANY. THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS OR NEW AIRBAGS. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE EASILY CRASHED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS.”
