The Airbag warning light appears on my dashboard. I took it to my local garage and he scanned the system that shows code B1214:13-8B - Passengers Safety Belt Retractor Pretensioner Deployment Control. I called Ford corporation and they said there are no recalls, however, I went online and a Ford recall #17S17 exists (Recall #17V472000)
I recently financed a truck and the seller did not disclose that it was a flood damage vehicle. I did auto check and found out there was also recalls on the truck when he sold it to me. That he didn't fix recalls are for the seatbelts N the bolts for the seabelts. The truck also is leaking oil. He also tempered with the engine lights because it's leaking oil but no lights turned on. I want a full refund of every dollar I have given him. He also lied on the odometer.
Vehicle was purchased in 2017. In 2018, occassionally noted that the passenger airbag indicator would switch to off while a passenger was in the seat, with seatbelt fastened. Approached my dealer with the problem, they read codes and found no faults. During a long road trip in 2019/2020, a pattern emerged: When vehicle first started and passenger present, passenger airbag system indicates on. After 20-30 minutes of driving, indicator goes to off. About 50% of the time, unbuckling and retracting passenger seatbelt, then rebuckling, and indicator will come back on. If this fails, truck must have ignition turned off before it will reset and switch airbag on. Have been told by dealership that this vehicle is not part of the 2014/15 recall for issues that match these symptoms. Also told that my expensive extended warranty may not cover a fix (to the main safety system??)... it is dependent on shop inspection and diagnosis.
Rear driver's side seatbelt is binding against rear window frame and when rear seat was flipped up with vehicle off, stationary, the rear fixed driver's side window shattered. Glass shards are now all over interior and personal materials.
Pretension on drivers side has been replaced 2 times now has to be done again after4 months..passenger side air bag light keeps coming on.they say nothing is wrong with it.
