NHTSA Complaint #10940131 — 2014 FORD F-150

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER WHO IS SEATED PROPERLY AND WEARING SEATBELT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT OCCASIONALLY COMES ON AND WILL STAY ON FOR DIFFERENT TIME FRAMES SOMETIMES MINUTES OR AN ENTIRE TRIP BEFORE TURNING ITSELF BACK ON. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND ON BOTH OCCASIONS WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY TESTED THE SYSTEM AND THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WE HAVE ALSO HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WHERE THE TIRE WAS VISIBLY LOW, AND WHEN CHECKED WAS OVER 15 LBS LOW SOMETIMES 20 LBS BUT THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING NEVER CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITH THE SAME TIRE SENSOR AND EACH TIME WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED THROUGH AND EACH TIME WE HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT THE SENSORS ARE WORKING PROPERLY. YET I HAVE HAD THE REAR TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BE LOW 5 LBS AND THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS LOW. THE TIRE STATES 44LBS AS THE RECOMMENDATION FOR MAXIMUM INFLATION, THEY ARE THE PROPER TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE, AND 25 PERCENT WOULD BE AT LEAST 11 LBS LOW IS MY UNDERSTANDING. YET WHEN I ASKED IF THERE IS A CERTAIN LOSS OF PRESSURE THAT WE SHOULD BE INFORMED BY WE WERE TOLD NO THAT SOME TIRES MIGHT JUST SENSE IT SOONER THAN OTHER BUT THAT THEY WERE ALL WORKING PROPERLY. WE JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS AS WE HOPE THAT THESE SYSTEMS WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY IF THEY ARE NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
