I HAVE A 2005 FORD ESCAPE THAT I PURCHASED ON FEBRUARY 19,2005. I HAVE BEEN HAVING CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT. THE SALESMAN AT FUTURE FORD OF ROSEVILLE(WHICH IS WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) TOLD MY HUSBAND AND I THAT THE CAR HAD A SAFETY FEATURE THAT WOULD TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IF SOME ONE FIFTY POUNDS OR LESS WAS IN THE VEHICLE. NOW HAVING KIDS THAT REALLY PEAKED OUR INTEREST. WENT ON TO PURCHASE THE CAR. NOT SOLEY BASED ON THIS FEATURE BUT IT WAS A DECIDING FACTOR. EVER SINCE WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT. THE LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG HAS TURNED OFF COMES ON EVEN WHEN I AM SITTING IN THE SEAT AND I WEIGH OVER 120 LBS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE WITNESSED THE PROBLEM THEM SELVES SEVERAL TIMES. THE COMPANY HAS EVEN...
DT: THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 7-14-05. THE CONSUMER HAS TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIR MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WILL BE FINE AFTER THE CONSUMER HAS TAKEN IT TO A DEALER. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SENSOR, AND REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. THE REPAIRS ARE ONLY TEMPORARY. *AK
DT: NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS A WEIGHT SENSOR ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS ALLOWS THE AIR BAG TO BE ACTIVE OR DISABLED WITH THE WEIGHT OF A PERSON. THE SENSOR IS CALIBRATED BETWEEN 115-120 POUNDS. THEREFORE, IF THE PASSENGER WEIGHS LESS THAN 120 POUNDS THE AIR BAG IS DISABLED. SPOKE TO MANUFACTURER, AND THEY SPOKE TO ENGINEERS, WHO INDICATED THIS WAS A NORMAL CALIBRATION, AND COULD NOT BE CHANGED. *AK *SB
VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG DISABLED LIGHT. PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE WEIGHED 120 LBS. OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS UNDETERMINED. *AK
