Get a new one! Highly unsafe!
an electrical signal up to the airbag and it deploys
An airbag is deployed to help protect you from serious injury. The rate at which an airbag deploys will depend on where the vehicle is hit. Often, an airbag deploys when the vehicle is going 15 mph.
That information is not released by the manufacturers.
you cannot drive the car if the airbag is deployed, its pretty expensive to have them fixed
Crash the car into a tree. The airbag deploys and the cover pops right off. I hope this helps.
my airbags have been deployed and my seat belts are locked.What should I do
low hands 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock
An airbag typically deploys with a force of around 2,000 to 6,000 Newtons, depending on the vehicle and specific design. This force is generated by sensors that detect a high rate of deceleration during a collision and trigger the deployment system.
Crash the vehicle but make sure your seatbelt is on. If airbag deploys, then the sensors were good. Replace all components and repeat.
A vehicle is not automatically considered totaled if one airbag deploys. The determination of whether a vehicle is totaled depends on the cost of repairs relative to its value; if repair costs exceed the vehicle's market value, it may be classified as totaled. Factors like the extent of damage and overall condition also play a role in this assessment. Therefore, the deployment of an airbag is just one of many factors in evaluating a vehicle's status after an accident.
It likely has a bad airbag sensor, and it probably won't deploy correctly - or at all - if you are in a crash. You need to take it to a Ford dealership to have it checked out. Unless, of course, if you don't care whether the airbag deploys when the vehicle has a head-on collision...
You should sit comfortably holding the wheel with your arms slightly bent at the elbows. Do not sit close to, or 'crowd,' the steering wheel, or you may suffer injury when the bag deploys.
