Description of the problem | Dtc b141b, air bag light intermittingly comes on. This issue was reported 2x while under warranty but by the time i would drop at dealer for repairs the light would reset so they couldn't see issue. After warranty expired the light came on more often, and today they were able to see indicator and get dtc. Since it is out of warranty now, it will cost me $750 to get my air bags fixed. I questioned why it cant be fixed because it was reported 2x while under warranty. It is almost like they didnt try to find problem until after warranty expired. Now i don't have working airbags on an expensive ford explorer sport. This is making me concerned if ford has poor wiring harnesses because these vehicles have so many electronic components. Guess i'm sol. I will try to replace this sub par wiring myself tomorrow. |
