Took my car on to check why seat belt light was on after bag replaced. Told there is a sensor under passenger seat that reflects weight in seat that is not working that is used in case accident airbag pressure would be deployed. Light will not turn off on dash and told me out of warranty is not on repair list… I have 2007 fusion that I can’t sell because of safety light. Who is responsible for that. Service at dealer said sorry can’t help me.. it would be 400.00??? R u kidding .

After getting the Ford Airbag recall work fixed on my teenage son's vehicle, the airbag dashboard light came on (a few weeks later). Upon taking it to the dealer, they told me the car needed a new battery. I agreed to have it replaced, despite NOT having any previous battery issues. After the battery was replaced, the airbag light was still coming on. After a diagnostic, it was discovered the passenger side sensor needs repaired (over $1,000 cost to complete this work). This is absolutely ridiculous, had NO PROBLEMS until Ford replaced my airbags. I was further told not replacing this sensor means NO AIRBAGS will deploy if in an accident. Now the SAFETY of my son is in YOUR HANDS FORD!!! If nothing is wrong with the airbags themselves, just a faulty passenger sensor....the driver airbag should still work!! THIS IS UNBELIEVALBE!! All this after waiting for over THREE HOURS at the dealer!!!
