4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2023

On may 15, 2023 I got in my car, proceeded to drive off when I noticed that the airbag light was still illuminated on the instrument panel. I notified the dealership the next day and dropped my car off on may 17, 2023. On may 19 a diagnostics test was run and revealed that I had a faulty seat belt buckle. I declined service on the car. This was shocking to me since I took my car to them less than 4000 miles and less than a year ago for the airbag light staying on again in 2022. At that time it was revealed that it was the passenger seat position sensor & it was repaired. In 2020 my car was also a part of recall 19s25 for the seat belt. In 2018 repairs were also done on my car due to the airbag light coming on as well. I'm driving the car but now don't know if it is safe to drive. When I picked up the car, the light was still on but about 4-5 days later the light went off by itself. The passenger seat has barely been used since I purchased the car in 2015. After the repairs were done in 2022, the seat/seat belt has not been used so I don't understand how it can be faulty. It seems to me that there's a defect somewhere and it should be investigated. I would appreciate if this is given serious consideration. When I spoke with Ford motor company, they told me to contact you to have you investigate the matter. I am working with the customer relations rep with Ford of franklin- ms. Lauren distephano at 931-538-0339 regarding this matter.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2022

Was hit in a head on collision and air bags did not deploy.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2021

Randomly and without warning, the entire climate control system shuts off as well as the entire center console. The only message during this period is "temporarily lost communication with climate control". When all this shuts off, the drivers side controls for the windows becomes inoperative as well as the passenger side lock/unlock button. This renders a safety hazard because during times of heat and cold it becomes impossible to run the climate control or roll the windows down for any air movement. Also an extreme hazard is the passenger is unable to unlock the doors in even of an emergency. Occasionally when this happens, the air bag light will illuminate, causing unknown safety hazards in that aspect. I have contacted the dealership and was told it sounds like a potentially faulty computer module, or faulty wiring that could cost thousands to repair. The issue occurs 80% of the time the car is in operation and seems to happen more on hot days where it becomes critical to have air movement/ac.

10 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2021

I have a 2015 Ford Fusion with around 37000miles. But the sealing between air bag and passenger side dashboard are broken. I'm afraid that the air bag might pumped out under normal condition if the cracks are too big. I think it could be quality issue. It could be very dangerous and put our lives at risk. Besides that, there was no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I called Ford customer service, they said that it could be their quality problem. However, they won't take the responsibility because they don't have recall for that issue. I think it put mine and my family's lives at risk, and I do need to bring attention.

The Fusion suffered moderate damage to the front end, and undercarriage. None of the air bags in the vehicle deployed even with the front end removed.

19 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2018

I was driving my car at the day time and I wanted to avoid a deer crossing the road, the car steering wheel locked up and could not turned the wheel. Consequently, the car hits a tree and got totally damage. When the car hits the tree, the airbags deployed but did not stay inflated, but instead deployed deflated. I was seriously injuried and got transported to the trauma center in atlanta for examination. The reason I am reporting this complain is that my car Ford Fusion 2015 is on recall by Ford company. On may 22/2018, I took the car to the Ford dealership located in the city I live to fixed the problem. The same day the company called me that the problem is fixed and the car needs to be pick up. What I did. My accident happened on the third day after the work. So, I did not know if the real problem is fixed. If yes, why the steering wheel is locked and I couldn,t control the car? before the accident, I often avoid deers on the raod and nothing happened. Why the accident happened at this time? after the accident, the police came and the rescue team came to the place and they will made the reports to the insurance company for claims. But I have to do this to the official department to investigate the problem and to take the appropriate action against Ford company. This will save other citizen live on the road. Thanksto be to the god that I am alive. I got minor injuries on my arms but feel pains in some parts of my body. The doctor prescribed some pain killers tha I am using now. The exam did not show any internal problem but I have to be monitorized for eventual issues. I am a student I could not go to school at this moment. This issue is serious and need to be taken seriously. The car could not be fixed and run. My insurance will do the rest but I am very concerned about the the amount of the bills that gonna come out. So, please, officials, I need your help. Tha.
