2011 Ford F-150 Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Was in a car Collison not wherein setbelt and airbags did not deploy or come out at all

Front driver's side seatbelt latch failed. Upon disassembling the latch assembly, it was found that a part of the mechanism broke off causing the latch to fail. The part appears to be cast metal, and it failed along a narrow portion of the mechanism. It seems that this part would be more robust.

Driver's seat was adjusted in order to fit toddler seat in back seat. Air-bag warning light came on on dash. After research on the Internet we saw a lot of owners were having the same problem. Not on this year and model only and various reasons caused the problem. It does seem to be isolated to the wiring under the seat. The light will go off at times and then come back on after a few days. Are there enough vehicles to prompt a recall? This is a safety issue with the Air-bags may not functionally properly. Thank you.

There was an independent investigation and the black box data was collected. There was no reported fire. A police report was filed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified but no further assistance was provided. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company.

I WAS SIDESWIPED BY ANOTHER PICK UP TRUCK. THE CONTACT SENT ME THROUGH A GUARDRAIL, DOWN AN EMBANKMENT (ROUGHLY A 20FT DROP), AND NOSE FIRST INTO A FIELD. MY 2011 F150 WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY ALLSTATE. MY PROBLEM IS NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY WHERE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 58 MPH. THANKFULLY I WASN'T INJURED BUT, MY SAFETY EQUIPMENT WAS FAULTY.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE SRS LIGHT ON SEVEN TIMES AND REPAIRED. SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND PARTIAL WIRING HARNESS REPLACEMENT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2015.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO SECURE THE PASSENGERS WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ABRUPTLY DEPRESSED.

2011 FORD F-150 TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH TRAVELING STRAIGHT AND ANOTHER TRUCK TURNED IN FRONT OF THE F-150. BRAKES WERE PRESSED AND COULD NOT STOP FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID THE COLLISION. TRUCK AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOT SURE IF AIR BAG FAILURE OR TRUCK WIRING/COMPUTER COMMUNICATION FAILURE. WOULD BE NICE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON WHY THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE NOT DEPLOYED.

COMPLAINT OUR 2011 FORD F150 HAD AN INVOLUNTARY AIRBAG DEPLOY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW FROM THE FORD DEALER THEY MAINTAIN THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS. CURRENTLY FORD IS REVIEWING HOWEVER, WILL NOT RESPOND TO WHEN THE EVALUATION WILL TAKE PLACE OR HOW LONG THE EVALUATION WILL TAKE AND THAT FORD COUNCIL IS "REVIEWING" HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT TELL US WHEN WE CAN EXPECT A RESPONSE OR REMEDY IF AT ALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AND FORD DEALER AND FORD CORPORATE ARE TELLING US, THOUGHT THE VEHICLE DOES HAVE A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THERE ARE MELTED WIRES THAT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE HAD WE NOT STOPPED THE VEHICLE, THEY ARE NOT SURE THE PREMATURE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND THE SHORT CIRCUIT OF THE WIRING ARE RELATED. THOUGH THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME THE FORD DEALER MAINTAINS THAT THEY ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT IT FAILURES ARE RELATED. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OUT OF STATE FROM WHERE WE LIVE AND THE DEALER WAS OVER HUNDRED MILES FROM THE OCCURRENCE AND IT HAS NOW BEEN 7 DAYS AT THE DEALER WITH NO RESOLVE OFFERED NOT DO WE KNOW WHEN WE MIGHT HEAR BACK. CURRENTLY THE DEALER REFUSES TO WORK ON THE TRUCK UNTIL THEY HEAR FROM FORD AND FORD TOLD US IT IS UNDER REVIEW WITH LEGAL AND NO ACTIONS WILL BE DONE UNTIL "LEGAL COUNCIL" HAS REVIEWED. WE HAVE A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND WE CALL DAILY AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN WE OBTAIN HOW THIS WAS RESOLVED? *TR

I WRECKED MY 2011 F150 ECOBOOST, I HIT A 4 FT CULVERT AND 4 TREES, TO WHICH THE 4TH STOPPED ME. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY OR ATTEMPT TO DEPLOY, IN WHICH CASE CAUSED ME TO HAVE WHIPLASH AND SEVERELY SPRAINED ANKLE W/TORN LIGAMENTS AND TENDONS REQUIRING A HALF CAST AND WALKING BOOT. HOW THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 9:40ISH P.M. I CAME AROUND A CURVE, WITH CRUISE SET ON 60 MPH, THERE WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER IN THE MAJORITY OF MY LANE, I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID IT. WHEN I HIT THE CULVERT MY TRUCK DASHBOARD SAID SOMETHING ABOUT TRAC ON AND OK, I WENT AIRBORN, THE CULVERT BROKE A TIE ROD AND THE TREES TOOK OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY TRUCK, THE LAST TREE I HIT STOPPED ME.....I CALLED FORD AND THEY ARE REFERRING IT TO THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT, SUPPOSE TO BE SENDING SOMEONE OUT TO LOOK AT MY TRUCK (I MIGHT ADD THAT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS BROKE OUT TOO) AND BE CONTACTING ME IN A 15 DAY RANGE PERIOD. IN THE MEAN TIME....I THINK IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.
