2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS Seat Belts Problems

Seat belt does not fully clip in to buckle and tends to come undone while in operation of motor vehicle furthermore requires occupant to wiggle buckle back and forth to attempt to get a good connection between the two, belt and buckle.

My drivers side seat belt works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t and also my passenger side airbag light stays on when starting the car it flashes a few times and then stays on

The contact owns a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while the vehicle was started, the driver’s side air bag warning light intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a driver’s air bag pretensioner fault and that the seat belt pretensioner needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,842.

Mileage: 40,842

Passenger seat belt pre-tensioner has malfunctioned. Air bag check light flashing code 34. My mechanic informs me the entire SRS will not function in a crash. He was informed by Ford that a replacement part is no longer available. The vehicle mileage is around 43,000. No rust and no collision damage. With the numerous complaints about this same problem why hasn't a safety recall be issued? Why hasn't Ford been required to stock replacement parts for a longer time?

AIRBAG FAULT CODE 34. PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT PRETENSIONS CIRCUIT RESISTANCE OUTSIDE LIMITS. CIRCUIT WAS DAMAGED BY STATIC DISCHARGE FROM HUMAN TO OUTSIDE OF DOOR. VEHICLE WAS PARKED DURING BOTH INCIDENTS. NO ACCIDENT. NO DETONATION OF EXPLOSIVE CHARGE. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 YEARS AGO ON DRIVER SIDE WITH CODE 33. NUMEROUS REPORTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS. PLEASE INQUIRE TO REPAIR FACILITY 'SAFETYRESTORE DOTCOM' FOR NUMBER OF THESE FAILURES. AIRBAGS ARE INOP WHEN FAULT OCCURS. NEED SHIELDED CIRCUIT TO PREVENT REOCCURRENCE.

THE SEAT BELT LITE STARTED FLASHING THEN WENT OUT AND NOW THE ALARM GOES OFF AND RINGS 5 TIMES AND DOES IT 5 TIMES IT DOES THIS WHEN YOU START THE CAR

AIR BAG DIL CODE CAME UP 33. TOOK CAR TO REPAIR, COST ~$1300 TO REPLACE FAILED PRETENSIONERS DRIVER AND PASSENGER. SAFETY WAS COMPROMISED WITHOUT REPAIR AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MORE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH HAD A COLLISION OCCURRED.

Mileage: 84,458

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN STARTING CAR, GET 3 DINGS TWICE, PAUSE, REPEAT ... I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A LOCAL DEALER IT WILL COST $600-$1200 TO FIX. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHY HAS NHTSA NOT REQUIRED A RECALL? SINCE I CANNOT AFFORD THE COST, I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT AS I AM SURE MANY OTHERS ARE DOING.

HELLO, I OWN A 2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG / SEATBELT SYSTEM. THERE IS A LIGHT THAT IS ON THAT SAYS AIRBAG. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS LIKELY A SEATBELT TENSIONER PER THE CODE IN THE COMPUTER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE PAGES OF PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. A WORKING REPLACEMENT COULD NOT BE INSTALLED AS THESE PARTS ARE NUMBERED TO THE CAR AND HAVE TO BE REPAIRED AND REPROGRAMMED. DEALERS HAVE QUOTED OVER $500+ FOR THE REPAIR, PER MY RESEARCH. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE JUST ON THE FORUMS, FOR MANY YEARS AND MILEAGES OF THIS CAR, JUST FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH FORD'S S Q.C. FROM THE START. IF THEY ARE GOING TO INSTALL A SAFETY SYSTEM IT OUGHT NOT BECOME A LIABILITY, AS I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL SAVE ME OR INJURE ME MUCH LESS IF THE SEAT BELTS WILL WORK IN AN EMERGENCY! YOUR FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED. IF I HAVE REACHED THE WRONG DEPT. IN ERRATA COULD YOU EITHER FORWARD THIS TO THE RIGHT PARTY OR LET ME KNOW WHO TO CONTACT. AGAIN THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED FORD NOT INCLUDING ON THE RECALL LIST, MODELS THAT HAVE HAD RECALL PROBLEMS BEFORE. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU KINDLY [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS A USED VEHICLE WITH 42900 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS NO HISTORY OF AN ACCIDENT ON THE CARFAX REPORT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE REPAIR ENDED UP COSTING OVER $1000 BECAUSE NEW SENSORS HAD TO BE INSTALLED FOR THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES. THE AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS COMMON FOR 2005 FORD AUTOMOBILES. WHY HASN'T FORD ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM?

Mileage: 42,992

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DIAGNOSIS INDICATED SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER WAS DEFECTIVE. SINCE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DELOY IN THIS CONDITION, IT WAS REPLACED, COSTING $513.00. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS.SAFETY RECALL IS WARRANTED.

Mileage: 50,000

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND FLASHES THE CODE 34. IT THEN STAYS ON AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING. THE CODE MENTIONED ABOVE IS FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT PRE-TENSIONER. SINCE THIS IS PART OF THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT (BELTS MAY NOT LOCK DURING A COLLISION), I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ITEM THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. THE DEALER QUOTED $700 TO REPLACE THE UNIT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

CAR FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION DUE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON. DIAGNOSIS INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER HAD FAILED, AND AIR BAG WOULD NOT INFLATE IN A CRASH. THE PRETENSIONER HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMED LIKE A PREMATURE FAILURE, AS THE CAR HAS ONLY 47924 MILES. THE SERVICE DESK PERSON AT THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS WAS VERY COMMON IN MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. I DID SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT HE WAS CORRECT, ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE REPORTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE. IN VIRGINIA A CAR FAILS FOR THIS LIGHT BEING ON. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT OTHER STATES. IN VIEW OF THE FREQUENCY OF THIS PROBLEM, I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

MY 2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING SEATBELT PRETENSIONER. REPAIR/REPLACEMENT WILL COST $1800 TO DO BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER. CAR ONLY HAS 29,250 MILES ON IT. I HAVE FOUND WHERE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. ALSO, SAW WHERE THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY IN A COLLISION. SOME HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM REOCCURRING AFTER REPAIR. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN BY MERCURY AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED A RECALL! *JS
