I have a 2006 Ford Focus with aprox 65,000 mileage. Recently, the air bag indicator light comes on occasionally, more often and for more lengthy periods more recently. It seems to match the issues of new Ford pickup truck recall in which airbags deploy without notice or cause - resulting apparently from frayed/shorted sensor wires - preceded by illumination of airbag dashboard indicator, as occurs in my 2006 Ford Focus. Is there cause for concern with my family's use of this car? thank you.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Focus. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently on the instrument panel. The dealer performed a diagnostic, which indicated that there was an issue with the air bags. In addition, a track harness was needed. The air bag indicator continued to illuminate and a second diagnostic was performed. The test showed no issues with the air bag; therefore, no repairs were made.

Airbags didn't deploy.

Driving at legal speed my side drivers airbag deploys then explodes under my left armpit causing me to loss control, but was able to gain control without an accident. Ford technicians performed diagnostics, noticed a scrape on passenger undercarriage. There conclusions was that I must have hit something on the rode. This was a small three inch scrape that so called caused the air bag deployment. I don't buy that. In my opinion, the bag should not have deployed because no accident occurred. I sustained brushes and lacerations. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and will trade in. Again, the scrape just removed the under coating, no other damage resulted. My best guess was a rock. These safety bags are not preventing personal injury, but causing them.

I have recently been doing a review of several incidents involving the Ford Focus one of which was relating to my father, where on instances the air bag did not deploy on the vehicles during the incidence of a crash. This is something that I have noted on several accidents involving the vehicle, where in determination of the impact should of activated the deployment of the vehicles airbags but rather the system has not reacted in any form as of thus far there has been on noted death that I know of being my father, their could be others but unsure...I have 5 notations of this happening the vehicles were diffrent peoples, bought at diffrent times, and from diffrent dealerships.
