2019 Ford F-150 Air Bags & Restraints Problems

I noticed the rear axel or back suspension on this truck is making a very load uncomfortable sound, like when two pieces of metal are rubbing up against each other... Its under tension and making a bind on the back passenger side. I got the truck with my mechanic few and body/auto repair guy and observed a 1/4 inch UBolt that holds the lead spring I believe hitting up against another bolt on the rear suspension and I cant access or open the drain plug too check the differential. Also there are a lot of loose wires under the dashboard, that already made me trip once, and Im a disabled veteran. Can you please help me get that taken care of?

I have recently discovered a crack from the left to the right of my steering wheel cover which houses the airbag looks like small particles of white dust are evident sometimes while using the lower part of the horn. I have pics if needed

Steering wheel airbag cover has been replaced twice already and has failed a third time. The plastic cover separates at the release point for the airbag, directly below the steering wheel emblem, exposing the airbag to the elements. The composition of this FORD airbag cover has changed at least once and is still failing in the new design. Dealership is refusing to provide me with service records requested 3 times.

While driving I noticed my wife's seat belt was not fastened, and there was no alarm chime or icon on dash alerting of incident. I then undid the drivers side and had the same results. I had been having issues with the ac leaking on inside at passenger floor. I took the truck to five star ford dealership for repairs. The ac evaporator and carpet was replaced. They said they issue with the seatbelts was not repairable unless a code was thrown. I was told it wouldn't cause any issues with air bags, but I'm not comfortable with that. The dealership said they would contact Ford and see if there was anything that could be done. After AC issues that has been ongoing several times now I believe moisture got somewhere it shouldn't have. I kept telling them what if a child was in seat and undid seatbelt and then an accident occurred. They said the airbags should still work. I dont trust that. This could be a very serious issue. I was told I could buy a new truck. I can't afford to buy a new truck every couple of years on retirement. The dealership said they believe the issue is in one of four modules but Ford will not authorize them to just start replacing modules without error codes being thrown.

At 30k miles the center of the steering wheel (plastic where Ford emblem is which houses the driver airbag) completely opened up horizontally along the perforation where the airbag deploys in the event of an accident exposing the airbag underneath. If you honk the horn your palm depresses into the cavity where the airbag is. Ford fixed this under bumper to bumper warranty which ends at 36k miles. Now at 50k miles the plastic has opened up completely once again, only this time horizontally along the right side perforations on the same plastic cover through which the airbag deploys in the event of an accident. As before, depressing the center of the steering whee to honk the horn causes your palm to go through the perforation and press against the airbag. The cover cannot be replaced on its own and comes as a single unit attached to the airbag known to Ford by part name “Driver Inflator Module”. Initial response from dealer was it is cosmetic and not covered however I contacted Ford who advised that the part is covered under the 60k mile Airbag Safety Restraint Warranty. Dealer disagrees even after I presented him with the NHTSA ID 10207126 communication where Ford acknowledges the issue and advised a more “robust” airbag assembly has been released.

While driving down a two lane street, a van ran in front of me causing me to T-bone that vehicle. The advance warning did not activate, the brakes did not automatically activate, and worst, the air bag did not deploy causing me some injuries.

Rcm has lost communication all fuses are in working order. Pre collision has stopped working my parking brake, hill start assist and seat belt warnings have stopped as well. Air bag light, traction control, abs light and check engine lights are on in dash board. My truck only has 49000 miles on it and a major component has gone out how could this be my fault.

MY DAD WAS DRIVING MY F150 HEADING SOUTHBOUND ON HWY 49 IN RICHLAND, MS. AT THE WILSON RD INTERSECTION THE CAR IN FRONT OF MY DAD SLAMMED ON BRAKES FOR THE YELLOW LIGHT, MY DAD HIT HIS BRAKES, AND THE 18 WHEELER BEHIND MY DAD REAR ENDED HIM, SLAMMING HIM INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM AND PUSHED BOTH CARS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION ABOUT 50 FEET. THE IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK THE SEAT. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.*DT*DT

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE EDGE OF AN INTERSECTION. MY VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED BY A LARGE HEAVY PICK AT MODERATE SPEED. THE OTHER TRUCK STRUCK MY VEHICLE AT THE FRONT LEFT CORNER. WHILE THE IMPACT CAUSED HEAD AND HIP INJURY; THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOTALED FROM THE IMPACT.

I JUST BOUGHT MY TRUCK AND HAVE HONKED MY HORN TWO TIMES. BOTH TIMES THE PERFORATED SEAL FOR THE AIRBAG HAS SPLIT OPEN. I GOT IT REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME AND NOW I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THIS IS A DEFECT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO HONK A HORN. ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE PULLS OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU HAVE TO ABRUPTLY APPLY THE BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME AS HONKING. THIS CREATES A FORWARD FORCE THAT MAKES YOU PRESS HARDER AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL, AS I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE AIRBAG NOW, IF IT WILL WORK AT ALL, OR IF IT WILL DEPLOY FOR NO REASON AND INJURE ME. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING, BUT ONLY THE FIRST TIME DID I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD, THE SECOND TIME WAS A NORMAL HONK WITH LIGHT TO MEDIUM PRESSURE. *TR
