2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2017. IN 2018, OCCASSIONALLY NOTED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR WOULD SWITCH TO OFF WHILE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT, WITH SEATBELT FASTENED. APPROACHED MY DEALER WITH THE PROBLEM, THEY READ CODES AND FOUND NO FAULTS. DURING A LONG ROAD TRIP IN 2019/2020, A PATTERN EMERGED: WHEN VEHICLE FIRST STARTED AND PASSENGER PRESENT, PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM INDICATES ON. AFTER 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, INDICATOR GOES TO OFF. ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME, UNBUCKLING AND RETRACTING PASSENGER SEATBELT, THEN REBUCKLING, AND INDICATOR WILL COME BACK ON. IF THIS FAILS, TRUCK MUST HAVE IGNITION TURNED OFF BEFORE IT WILL RESET AND SWITCH AIRBAG ON. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE 2014/15 RECALL FOR ISSUES THAT MATCH THESE SYMPTOMS. ALSO TOLD THAT MY EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY MAY NOT COVER A FIX (TO THE MAIN SAFETY SYSTEM??)... IT IS DEPENDENT ON SHOP INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS.
