Unhappy Beeping sounds in 5 increment beeps then again for 5 times total

Help me stop this horrible beeping I have a 2007 Escape and it started beeping yesterday... it is driving me crazy and I paid cash for this in 2007 so there is no payment problem.

I solved this... My escape was out of alignment. I got it aligned and the beeping stopped. It is not in the book and I took it to ford and they wanted much money to run tests on it... I didn't pay. Someone at work said one of my tires was wearing so I took it got it aligned and the beeping stopped.

I stopped at a Ford dealer who said they had never heard of the problem but could keep it for a while and try to find out what it is.

Any ideas?

Smile Beeping under dash.

The beeping under the dash is most likely caused by a failed airbag warning light in the dash. Just change the dash bulb in the warning light location and the beeping should go away.

Default Expensive fix

2011 escape. Heard a quiet beeping under the dash one day. Beeped 5 consecutive times and then stopped, never to happen again. No warning lights on the instrument cluster.
called ford, nobody had heard of this issue. Stumbled upon this forum and prompted me to look at my passenger airbag indicator light, which I discovered is not functioning. Light comes on when vehicle starts, then goes out even when there is nobody in the seat. It appears that the airbag is constantly on. However that is apparently not the case. The beeping indicated that there is a fault in the system and the passenger airbag in deactivated due to the fault.
Checked the codes and showed nothing, a week later there’s now a code showing a fault with the pressure sensitive switch. But the codes comes and goes. THERES ZERO INDICATION THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG.
the only fix for this is to replace the whole seat base, which is a dealer only part and runs at about $3600 CAD.
Contacted Ford Canada and they said there’s really nothing they can do about it and didn’t seem all that concerned that a vital safety component has failed and there has been no indication other than a slight beeping which was heard by coincidence.
Report the problem to Ford!

Anytime you get an expensive quote for any repair, it is always a good move to get a few different estimates. AND make sure you know what is included or excluded in the estimate.
