First noticed airbag light began flashing on and off. Within two days the airbag light came on and remained on. Had the dealer check this out. The report came back driver side seat belt was at fault. No repair available must be replaced. *tr

Light for air bag came on with warning sound. Had local garage fix with new parts from Ford dealer. This morning upon backing out of garage at approximately 70,000. Miles same problem of light and sound. Supposed to take it to same garage to diagnose tomorrow. It cost me, a 78 yr. Widow, $561.72 to replace this in aug. Of 2013. I am not going to spend another cent on this problem. What in the world has happened to air bag installation? *tr

Air bag light comes on and blinks code 3 3 then dings an alarm 5 dings x 5 times every 30 minutes, light stays on. I understand code 33 or 34 are seat belt pretentioners that are known to fail on mid 2000's Ford vehicles. Mine is 2006 grand marquis. This appears to be a defect in materials causing a saftey concern for myself and passengers. The air bag system is disabled until repaired and the repair is very expensive. The vehicle has not been in an accident and it has been diagnosed as a driver side pretentioner high resistance failure. The mechanic suggested they replace both driver and passenger side since the passenger side will most likely also fail soon according to his experiance. This should be recalled to have pretensioners replaced since it is a known defect and safety hazard cau

On several occasions since I've owned this vehicle (I am original owner) when I step on the brakes hard the engine accelerates. Recently it has gotten worse and I know I'm not touching the accelerator. Today it was so bad the I was standing on the brakes with both feet and burning rubber. I shifted to park and the engine went onto max acceleration. I shut of the engine and restated and found it was still at max acceleration. I shut it off again and waited 30 seconds. When I then restarted it ran normally. Fortunately I was at a stop sign or I think there would have been a collision if in traffic. *tr
