2012 FORD F-150 Air Bags Problems

I went to Maplecrest Ford in Unión New Jersey to resolve this recall which is to include a Lead Frame replacement because the truck dropped gears and I almost crashed thanks to this recall they refuse to fix the issue only state to me they reprogrammed what was to be done and they said the rest is not their issue because the title is salvaged. Whether or not the title is salvaged it is their responsibility to fix the issue so that other drivers myself and my family are safe . I’m really upset simply because they just want to charge for these recall services when it is there obligation to fix for all involved safety.Im addition this vehicle has a airbag recall of which they also refused to fix so if I’m driving this airbag can deploy and who knows what damage can be be done not only to...

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle downshifted with the check engine, transmission, and the air bag warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was restarted; however, the failure recurred. The contact also noticed the vehicle had gone into LIMP Mode after the vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the lead frame failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 187,000.

My truck would shift gears and I would feel a kick. Then the speedometer would drop, and the airbag sensors would turn off. At times the dealership states it is an issue with the Transmission Lead Frame.

I had just purchased this well-used 2012 F150XL [XXX] ) because well into retirement at [XXX] and officially handicapped, it was all I could afford and had to get a personal loan for it anyway. First thing was a Lake Keowee Ford (REFLASH RECALL) which was performed and within a few days, everything electrical stopped and the battery started draining overnight over and over. The truck would not start, the column shifter was locked in Park and I could not even push it clear of a carport for a tow truck. With endless research, I find that this Shift Interlock failure is very, very common on these trucks of all related years and mileages. Below is a quote from a site: According to a survey, more than 75000 complaints reported against this problem across the USA in the last 15 to 17 years. In addition, it has affected the reliability...

Over a couple years had several occasions where the air bag light came on. First time was in 2017 and several times through 2021. See repair reports. Sometimes the light went out on its own, sometimes the dealer couldn’t find anything and cleared the fault or just cleaned the contacts. Finally in August 2021 the light came on and stayed on and the dealer had to replace the Restraint Control Module. It was unclear if the air bag system was functional over these numerous faults and months. Very expensive repair.

Smacked a gard rail on the front, spun around and smacked the driver rear end no air bags deployed. 55 miles per hour

WHEN VEHICLE STARTS HAS WRENCH LIGHT ON, TRACADVANCE LIGHT ON, AND AIRBAG LIGHT ON. TRUCK WANTS TO CALL 911 ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER STARTED. AUTO SHOP DIAGNOSTIC HAS AIR BAG MODULE IS NOT RESPONDING. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN BUYING FORDS FOR YEARS AND FORD HAS TREATED US VERY WELL. I BOUGHT MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR FOR MY WIFE IN 2016 AND WAS A FORD EXPLORER. DESPITE OF THE ISSUES THAT THAT VEHICLE HAS HAD FORD HAS ALWAYS DONE THE RIGHT THING AND HAS TAKEN CARE OF THEM. MY GRANDFATHER OWNED A FORD DEALERSHIP WHEN I WAS A CHILD AND GREW UP RIDING IN FORD VEHICLES. THIS AIRBAG MODULE THAT WENT BAD IS NOT A PART THAT CAR WEAR OUT. FROM MY RESEARCH OTHER 2012 F150'S LIKE MINE HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAVE A RECALL ON THEM FOR THIS. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART THAT...

ON WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, MY 2012 FORD F-150 WAS INVOLVED IN A 35MPH FRONT END COLLISION. THE DRIVER WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM CONCERNED WHY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. AFTER ACCIDENT, THERE WAS AN AMBER "AIRBAG MALFUNCTION" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN 2012, THERE WAS A FORD F-150 RECALL # 12V198000 FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG CONTROL SENSOR MODULE (OCSM). THIS VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. THIS VEHICLE MAY HAVE A FAULTY OCSM THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I AM GOING TO ASK THE REPAIR SHOP TO SAVE THIS VEHICLES "BLACK BOX" AND OCSM IN CASE THERE IS NEED FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THESE PARTS.

THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY WHERE HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WHICH RESUMED BACK TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TODD JUDY FORD (EAST 7891 MACCORKLE AVE, CHARLESTON, WV 25304) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NO RECALL WAS SUBJECTED TO THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000. VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AIRBAG PASSENGER LIGHT STAYS ON SWITCH SELECTOR INOPERABLE. IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY INTERMITTENT NO START.

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN AFTER AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING FRONT OF TRUCK . FRAME OF TRUCK HAD TO BE RE-ALIGNED BUT AIBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON/OFF SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND IT DOES NOT STAY ON CONSTANTLY

TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES STAYING ON FOR DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TESTED AND "FOUND THAT FAULT CODE PRESENT B0091 93 LEFT SIDE RESTRAINT". THE WIRING WAS TESTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED THE "SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR" REPLACED. I WAS ADVISED THAT IF I DID NOT HAVE THIS SENSOR REPLACED THAT THEY COULD NOT SAY THAT THE REST OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD WORK IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. AT THE TIME OF THIS REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS JUST 5 YEARS OLD AND HAD 41,068 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE THAT IS JUST 5 YEARS OLD, ONLY HAS 41K MILES, NO COLLISIONS OR ANY DAMAGE SHOULD BE NEEDING SAFETY RELATED AIRBAG SENSORS REPLACED. TOTAL COST FOR THIS REPAIR...

MY TRUCK DOES TWO THINGS, BOTH WITH THE TRANSMISSION. 1RST THIS IS RANDOM AND HAPPENS AT ANY UNSUSPECTING TIME AND AT ALL SPEEDS. THE TRUCK GOES INTO LIMP MODE (KILLING ALL POWER) STARTS TO CLUNK IN AND OUT OF GEARS TO THE POINT IT LOCKED UP THE TIRES ONCE GOING 55 MPH FOR A SECOND AS THIS IS HAPPENING MY MPH NEEDLE GOES TO 0, ALSO THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS RANDOM AS WELL. THE TRUCK DISPLAYS THE AIRBAG LIGHT WHILE DRIVING ALONG, THE TRANSMISSION WILL GET STUCK IN THIRD AND WON'T SHIFT, SOME TIMES IT GETS STUCK IN FIRST AND NEVER MAKE IT UP TO 6TH GEAR IT WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS AS THIS IS HAPPENING THE MILES, AVG FUEL DISPLAY GOES TO ALL BLANKS. BOTH VERY UNSAFE AND VERY SCARY, AS I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I WILL NOT PUT...

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE LIGHT OFF. WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR ANYWHERE. I HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT DID NOT TURN OFF.

ONCE I CRASHED THE SEAT BELT ENGAGED BUT I STILL HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! THERE WAS SOME HEAVY SMOKE THOUGH AROUND THE SEAT BELT AREA OR FROM PERHAPS THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS UNDER THE SEAT?

STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING, WHICH CONTROLS ALL STEERING WHEEL ELECTRONICS AND AIRBAG IS FAULTY. REPLACEMENT CLOCK SPRING REQUIRED. I NOTICED THIS ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AND USING MY RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. UPON PUSHING A BUTTON LIKE VOLUME UP FOR INSTANCE, THE RADIO STATION WOULD CHANGE. THE BUTTONS WERE DOING THE IMPROPER FUNCTIONS. I BROUGHT IT INTO FORD AND THEY STATED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT CONTROLS THE AIRBAG, WHICH MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE FAULTY UNIT.

ONCE IT WAS GONE, MY SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T FUNCTION, THE MILEAGE WAS GONE AND THE AIR BAG DISCONNECT WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE ISSUES, I NOTICED THAT THE SIGNALS WERE NOT TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND HAD TO BE DEACTIVATED MANUALLY DURING TURNS.
