general problems of the 2008 Ford Fusion

I discovered my drivers rear brake light bulb melted in their socket. The socket themselves are burnt black and the drivers side tail light case has been hot enough to melt. A quick search on the internet turns up a lot more chatter about this same issue. Even scarier is the fact that this happening with zero warning. No blown fuse, no codes, nothing to indicate your frying stuff in the back at all. The dealership denies hearing anything , Ford denies hearing anything, even though it's happening all over the country and I found at least five other complaints listed with the national highway traffic safety administratiion. I took car in for oil change and discovered this but want $250 for repair and no guarantee it won't happen again. I'm a senior with limited income and it's a 2008 Ford Fusion se help need recall!.

I took my Fusion in for the airbag recall. The airbag was replaced and now the dash is slightly raised up and looks like the airbag is going to blow out of it anytime. Now the airbag light in the instrument panel is turning on and off randomly. I took my car back to the dealership who replaced the airbag and they say this is a common issue and has nothing to do with what they did. So now I do not know if my car is safe or not to be driving.
