Air Bag problem #1

On my 2020 Explorer st, the plastic backing on the front seats is popping off and exposing the seats airbags. My dealer said one replacement backing would be $1400 to replace. In a facebook group I am in, multiple people have complained on the 2020 st that theirs has done the same thing.

Air Bag problem #2

The dash board is warped and literally peeling off. I took it to a dealer to get it looked at to see if Ford could help. They won't. My concern is that if the airbag had to deploy, they won't operate properly. I don't know what to do.

Air Bag problem #3

* upon a significant partial front and complete side impact, the airbags failed to deploy. No front, side, curtain, etc. . . * the vehicle has been seen by the original tow company, the insurance assigned tow company (from original tow company to a body shop) and by the body shop personnel. * I believe the insurance adjuster has inspected, but I cannot confirm that at this time. * no prior warning lamps or messages were present prior to the impact. * the vehicle safety system engaged the fuel cut-off, hazard lights and automatically initiated the sos system (called 9-1-1).
