The passenger side air bag quit working. the air bag warning light came on and would not go off. do not know if automobile was moving or still. had to have replace the inboard and outboard seat zero weight sensors, rail assembly and replace the passenger seat air bag module. it was very expensive for a part of the car that should last more than 54000 miles.

Takata recallmy car was involved in a fender bender with the air bag not deploying, prior to that the check airbag light remained on. the marlow auto body collision center located in oxon hill maryland did try to look at it as to why i did not turn off, they even replaced the fuse, however i received a letter in the mail informing me there was a recall. i have contacted and tried to bring the vehicle into ford located in camp springs maryland on several occasions and they stated they never received the part and they were unable to accommodate my repair. i have since went back to marlow auto body this year 2018 for help but they stated i should contact the nhts to complain.

Passenger side dash around air bag is buldging

The frontal passenger takata airbag has not yet burst, however, the cover and sides have curled up somewhat and makes a rupture of the inflator appear imminent. i have waited literally years for a free replacement but am still sidelined with being told the parts are not ready yet. are you kidding me? i need a replacement before the thing ruptures and kills someone.

There is a bulging on my passenger side airbag, my passenger light airbag comes on i have approximately 93000 miles on my ford fusion.

My passenger side dash had begun to bulge . they stated it was o.k. and i did not need to worry about the airbag deploying.they told me that it could not be fixed; and no one recommended how to fix it. the bulge has gotten worse and it looks as if the airbag is going to deploy. my airbag light came on shortly after and i can not pass inspection

Passenger side airbag is bulging up on one side. i park in a garage and i'm in wi so we don't get extreme heat, so i'm not sure why i'm having a issue. it's either an airbag issue or a dashboard issue. my passenger side airbag light appears to be working fine...it only goes on with a passenger or when my purse gets too heavy and its on the seat. also, my accelerator petal makes a weird static-sounding noise when it's at a certain position. it has nothing to do with speed, it happens at various speeds, so it's only when the petal is held in the same spot which is about halfway down to the floor. if i press the petal down beyond this spot or raise my foot so the petal is above that spot, the noise stops...only to return again when the petal eventually lands back in that problematic spot (about halfway down).

Passenger side airbag is bulging out of dash.

The air bag light came on and stayed on. i took it to the local ford dealership. the service rep said that the passenger seat air bag sensor was defective. he said that there were no recalls and it would cost me $868.00 to fix it. i can't afford it so we're driving it with the light on. i think ford should replace it because many people have the same or similar problem with their fusions as well as a host of other makes makes, models, and years....updated 09/22/15 *bf updated 11/28/2017*cn

My wife was driving down the road and noticed some bulging thru the passenger airbag on the dash. she immediately pulled over and removed my 12 yr and secured him in the back seat with lap/shoulder belt. i contacted ford today and they advised me that the dash would have to be replaced at my expense at a cost of $1000/1200 dollars. i think this should be a safety issue and ford replace it. i can not imagine that airbag doing a faulty firing with no accident involved and striking my child. thank you. *tr

Dash is lifting beneath the passenger side airbag. i'm afraid the air bag either may deploy unexpectedly or not at all. *tr

The passenger side air bag above the glove compartment is exposed. now my airbag like will not turn off. *tr

Dashboard vinyl and padding is bulging away from the passenger airbag panel. this seems to be a safety issue as the airbag may not deploy properly in an accident, or may deploy at any time without an accident and injure the passenger. sometimes airbag light goes on. although the dashboard looks unsightly, this is not a cosmetic issue, it is a safety issue!! *tr

The air bag on the passenger side of the vehicle, above the glovebox has exposed itself and the actual part of the surrounding dashboard has lifted upwards on it's own, due to hear in my opinion, it is a safety defect and now my passenger airbag light is on (which means it's shut off on it's own) and i'm scared it will go off at any time due to the exposure of the components. *tr

Back in june,2014 i noticed something weird on my dash. for some reason the dash above the passenger side airbag is bubbling up. at first i thought it might be the heat from the sun, so i started parking my car in the shade to avoid higher temps hitting the dash. unfortunately, it did not help. the bubble kept growing and growing. now it's so large that i am worried that the airbag has become compromised. i am concerned that the airbag may deploy when i'm driving or possible not deploy if i am in a car accident. it appears there are quite a few people complaining about the same problem. please fix this ford!! very dangerous! *tr

Takata recall- have been receiving notices for over 3 1/2 years that my airbags have been recalled on my ford fusion. still nothing...call the local ford dealership and they tell me they are waiting on parts. going on 4 years...and waiting on parts??? bs.

Dashboard around front passenger airbag is bulging up and will likely interfere with proper deployment of the bag in case of accident. this is a chronic problem with first generation fusions that ford refuses to address.

Takata recall passenger airbag light is on and i have been told it is part of recall but parts not available.

Takata recall

Takata recall i live in texas and drive a 2007 ford. both the age of my car and where i live are supposed to put me high on the list for the airbag recall, but i have heard nothing since a recall notification in july 2016. the delay is dangerous. the process needs to be accelerated. i don't feel safe in my own vehicle. "when did this happen" question below is not applicable. i made up a date because it's a required question.

The air bag light came up on the dashboard and it won't go away. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. the contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the contact crashed into a pedestrian that walked in front of the vehicle. the pedestrian suffered from fatal injuries. the contact stated that the air bags also failed to deploy. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was notified of the issue. the failure mileage was 100,000.the vin was not available.

On several occasions, primarily in colder weather, the air bag indicator in the instrument cluster on the dash board remains on after starting. this happens unpredictably at random intervals. once the engine is warm, shutting off the ignition and restarting will resolve the problem. i am told that the air bags will not deploy if the air bag light is on. *tr

Air bag on passenger side is starting to bulge out of dash, sad there is not a recall for this seeing that there are plenty complaints about this. passenger seat belt where it fastens does not work it clicks like it is locked but if you tugged on seatbelt it automatically pops out not very safe if it doesn't work right. very disappointed in these flaws b/c i used to love my car!! *tr
