Side/window Air Bag Problems of Ford Fusion - part 1

This car was already recalled for the passenger side airbag and it took more than 2 years to get it replaced, with the recommendation that noone sit in the passenger seat. My daughter, with a 9 month old infant is driving this car and is now afraid to drive it with the driver side airbag recall. There is no timeline and now she no longer will drive this car. Because the stated risk is if the airbag inflater explodes, sharp metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants causing serious injury or death. Would you drive your 9 month old in that car?? we need a better solution than we have no idea when we can fix it! thank you! kevin walli.

Kayser Ford in madison, WI was supposed to have replaced driver side air bag. I have concerns about their properly replacing, per the safety recall, as tim douglas boasted that "they have over 47 airbags" in back and this is not how the recall should work. The part needs to be ordered per the VIN and received and put in, not some random spare extra parts in back, put in the vehicle, without knowing how long they have been sitting there. Further, this Ford replaced the passenger airbag, and pulled on the bottom edge of the airbag compartment, causing a badly tented edge, that could obstruct the passenger air bag deployment or tear the bag if it is deployed, and affect the angle and trajectory of the deployment. This Ford denied any responsibility. When we had it towed for other repairs including the driver side airbag, they not only did not perform the necessary repairs, but they caused harm to our car: damage to the front bumper, failed to refill fluids correctly, including transmission fluid and power steering fluid and did not replace the front brake calipers. The new serpentine belt is loose and makes a noise. They also drove our car over 30 miles, without our authorization and then lied on the invoice claiming that our car came in and left at the same mileage. Further, they left our car on a tow truck with the j hook hanging from the suspension and under tension, all night.

Received a recall notice for the drivers side airbag. I do not feel comfortable driving this vehicle and would like a loaner until the repair parts are available. This same vehicle had a passenger airbag recall. And a loaner vehicle was provided. This new recall is more serious given it is on the drivers side.

Takata recall. Ford dealership called to notify of replacement for passenger side air bag. I asked who is manufacturing the replacement airbag, I was informed it's still takata. Is this safe?.

Tried to brake as usual and brakes were not as responsive and needed more pressure/time to stop. Abs light came on shortly after. Ford believes that the cause is abs module and/or abs hcu (abs pump motor failure). They are unable to determine actual cause until I py $3,000 to replace each potential issue. While brakes seem to operate ok now, the car needs more time to stop. Have seen multiple complaints online w the same issue (spongy brakes, abs module failures). I have also been unable to obtain the recall replacement for passenger side airbag as they are short on parts.

Recall notice issued June 1, 2016 and parts are still not available to replace the passenger side airbag. This is not acceptable. Is NHTSA putting any pressure on the automakers to remedy this situation? surely if they can develop a new car and have it on the market in two years, they can have one component developed and available in two years. This delay in getting airbag components to the public is totally unacceptable.

"takata recall" I received a recall notice February 2018 stating there had been a recall on the passenger side airbag, and I would be notifies when parts became available to fix the issue. I have since then received a letter stating parts are unavailable, and Ford is offering rental cars until parts do become available. I have been trying to get this solved for a week now, and my local Ford dealer just keeps saying they will get back to me. This is my only form of transportation, and I have two kids that travel in this car with me. I feel like everyday driving in this unsafe vehicle, is a threat to me and/or my children, and nothing is getting resolved, due to an overwhelming list, but I shouldn't have to worry everytime I drive.

Takata recall. I have had no communication from the Ford motor company regarding when parts will be available for replacing the passenger side airbag. My car has been sitting in my garage for a month and a half now. My local dealership has no clue as to when parts will be available.

I would appreciate help and a response in this matter.

I called Ford dealership close to me, they told me they have too many cars to fix, and told me Ford will contact me in future.

"takata recall" I received notification of a recall on the frontal passenger side airbag. I contacted the dealership several times and was informed the part was not available. The first week of November 2017, I visited the dealership (long lewis Ford) in birmingham alabama, and was told this is strictly an issue with takata bankruptcy and Ford motor company has nothing to do with it. Everything I have read states to contact my dealership and the airbag is to be replaced for free. I did as instructed and the dealership is not complying putting me and my family at possible risk for serious injury or death.

Takata recall received a post card from tk holdings regarding a takata airbag recall. We checked airbagrecall. Com and found that our Ford Fusion 2007 was included in that recall. We were advised to call the local Ford dealer to have the passenger side airbag replaced immediately. Sexton Ford in moline was very rude and the only information they would give us was that there are no parts available to fix this. How can there not be any parts available for a recall that, if not fixed, may result in death? now we are unable to utilize the passenger seat of our car until the airbag is replaced.

It's affecting my passenger side airbags. Ford dealer keeps telling me they don't have the parts to fix it for the past two years. They also told me that it may affect my trade - in price even though I bought it from them. I have not been able to drive with any passenger in fear of the airbags fatally deploying. This is a serious hazard and I live in a very hot climate which makes the risks even higher. Help me, I have not been able to get any recourse with this dangerous vehicle . Just owning a vehicle with such a risk is dangerous.

Takata recall I received a letter in July 2016 informing me of a recall on my passenger side airbags. The letter makers it appear as though this is a serious, life-threatening issue, but I have called several Ford dealerships over the last year and they all claim that they do not have the parts of takata to fix it. Today I received a letter informing me that takata has filed chapter 11 and that I really need to get it resolved. I called a dealership today and they once again claimed not to have the parts. What is the point of sending me all of these warnings if I cant get it fixed? if the point is that I shouldnt be driving my car until its fixed then they should be giving me a replacement vehicle.

I had just bought my 2007 Ford Fusion barely a month ago based on the fact that the VIN number was clean, no history of accidents and one owner. I have had no idea that my now new to me precious vehicle that I love lots and shelled out 3,000 for was a part of this airbag inflate recall until I got a notification in the mail yesterday and ran my plate through the airbag recall website. I use my now loved vehicle for uber and I take my children to school in the vehicle in question daily. Now it makes me question not only my personal safety but the safety my children and my uber passengers. Lucky for me I have not gotten into an accident with this vehicle yet. I have been in an accident in a vehicle that had absolutely no airbags at all 10 years ago and I am literally fortunate enough to still be alive and well. In the accident I was in just not this vehicle in particular, highway patrol in nevada thought I was going to die. Now this vehicle I just bought I bought October 4th, 2017. Also I caught when my 12 year old son who happens to be the same height and weight as me the passenger side airbag off light stays on when he is in the vehicle. I'm 5'3" 125 pounds. He's the same. That should not be.

I have periodically been checking with my dealership, rountree in shreveport, with the orr Ford dealership in stonewall and other Ford dealerships in the area for the last 6 months, only to be told the part has not come in yet.

Passenger side airbag for the vehicle has been under recall since 6/1/2016 but Ford dealership is stating no parts are available and they have no eta on when they will be available. In the meantime, we are uncomfortable driving the car with the airbag acting as it is.
