general problems of the 2017 Ford Fusion

The dash deteriorated to the extent that, according to a Ford engineer, the passenger airbag will not deploy properly.

Airbags failed to deploy at 30-40 mph head on collision. Vehicle had an airbag light come up, was inspected by Ford and the rcm module was replaced as directed by manual. Airbags were also inspected at the time. Lights were cleared after the replacement. Was the car not reading the speed at the time of the accident? my wife and 2 toddlers were in the vehicle at the time of the accident. I have a wrist injury and whiplash. Injuries could have been worse if it was a vehicle of twice the size or a semi.

I was a victim in a car crash driving this vehicle when another vehicle hit me and deployed my air bags. Due to the air bags deployment I ended up with significant burn marks to my arm which is likely to permanently scar.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the air bag module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed there was no recall on the VIN related to the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that during a vehicle state inspection, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the air bag control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that the replacement part was on backorder. The failure mileage was unknown.

The airbag warning light was enabled on the dashboard. The Ford dealer diagnosed this as code "dtc u2100:00 and b00a0:62-28 stored in rcm". I was told that Ford told the dealer to reprogram the rcm with new software and this was labor "not covered by warranty or recall. " but, if my car were one model year later (2018 vs 2017) it would have been covered. I argued that this is a software defect, clearly the hardware did not fail since they did not have to replace anything, but I was simply told the labor was not covered and I would need to pay for it. After the software update the error codes and airbag light are normal. There is clearly a software defect impacting the safety performance of the vehicle. This vehicle should be recalled and the cost of the update and labor should not be a burden to the consumer. Consumers, such as me, who have had to pay for this work should be reimbursed by Ford.

On or about January 2023, I noticed the airbag light come on my vehicle's dashboard. I didn't notice anything else that may have suggested what was wrong or what caused the light to come on. On February 6, 2023, I took the car to a Ford dealership to be inspected (the car had less than 60,000 miles and was about 6 years old at the time). After an inspection, I was told that the "restraint control module" (rcm) had failed and that the part I needed was on national backorder. I asked the sales person if this meant that my airbags wouldn't deploy in an accident. His answer was unclear, and he said that "the airbags would at least not deploy unintentionally". On may 6, 2023, I was involved in an accident and the airbags did not deploy. I am unsure if there was enough force during the accident that would have caused the airbags to deploy, or whether they should have deployed but did not due to the bad rcm component. Today, may 17, 2023, my car is currently being repaired at an auto body shop. I called Ford's customer service because I am concerned about driving with potentially non-working airbags. I was told that the part I need (hs7z14b321h) is still on national backorder and may take at least two more months to be back in stock. Ford recommended filing a report with NHTSA. I feel that the car is not safe to drive and I am concerned for the safety of myself and passengers. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or recommend any solutions to resolve this situation. Thank you for your time.

The airbag sign keeps on without any reason. I've seen there is recall for airbag (takata) issue. 2012-2016. My car is manufactured in 2016 and registered in 2017. They said its 2017 model.

Takata recall - I dont know if that applies to my car. My wife had an accident on March 12 2019 where she hit a tree. The impact was so much that the cradle of the body was damaged. My insurance company is geico , declared the car as total loss. The reason that I am writing this complaint is that car airbags did not inflate they were not activated. When you see the picture of damage you will be amazed why this must have happened. When I reported this to Ford they said this is your case number cas17428626 and someone will get in touch with you shortly. Nobody has got in touch they have my email id they have my phone number and my house address nothing not a single response. When we talk on the phone they are like everything will be done right away but the rightaway is like a summer day in the month of January which never comes. I even told them just incase if I dont pick up the phone please leave a voicemail or even a message so that I can get back to you quickly. So far no one has responded. Frankly I am disappointed in their handling of my case and also this is America where safety is never compromised so why did it happen to me or why should it happen to anyone who has a similar car like mine.

Takata recall this car does not have reliable breaks I was in an accident on 12/26/18. I applied the brakes and nothing happened. Now I'm left with being responsible for this . And the steering wheel airbag blew smoke in my face and this car has two open recalls and it's a rental through hertz.

Vehicle (Ford Fusion) had just started to proceed forward from median turn area onto city street to turn left when 2nd vehicle (Toyota camry) swooped around another vehicle traveling approximately 45 mph and hit affected vehicle (Ford Fusion) on front drivers side (bumper and entire drivers side front quarter panel). Spun both vehicles around and affected vehicle (Ford Fusion) was propelled into the other vehicle (Toyota camry). Impact caused front drivers side tire to detach, no air bags deployed which resulted in the head of the driver of affected vehicle (Ford Fusion) to hit the drivers side window with enough force to spider shatter the window leaving an imprint of drivers head in the window. Driver was transported to hospital and injuries were minor thus far. Still seeking medical attention. Impact was sufficient enough that 2nd vehicle (Toyota camry) did deploy all airbags.

I was stopped on the freeway when a truck rear-ended me twice and I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. None of my airbags deployed.

"takata recall" my complaint is that I received a safety recall letter in July of 2016, and since have not received anything to follow up with it. My cover on the dash board over the airbag is warped and bowed up and I am afraid that this may also be a problem with this issue. If this is possibly another part of something with the airbag system why has it not been taken care of by now. Thank god nothing has happened, but I would truly like to get this resolved before it is to late and someone gets hurt . Please let me know what, if anything, is moving toward resolving this recall in the very near future. Also what I can have done to get my issue taken care of. I was told by my Ford dealer that there should be more info out in Nov or Dec. 2016 I have received nothing and heard nothing and it is now March 2017. Now accident to report. Just need some kind of answers. Thank you.

Takata recall: received notice of recall in July 2016. It is now 11/22/2016 and I have still not been contacted by Ford indicating parts are available and that repair can be scheduled. I contacted a local Ford dealer late August and they had no information on this recall.

Takata recall. I received a recall announcement dated July 2016. My local dealer informed me again today 3/14/2018 that the part(s) are still unavailable. In a letter from December 2017, Ford states that no one is allowed to sit in the first row passenger seat. Please let me know why a remedy is taking so long and when I can expect this repair. This situation needs a solution promptly. Sybil gross.

I need my car. It's been 2 years. I am disabled and can't get a different car.
