Problems with 2008 Ford Fusion AIR BAGS

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. in approximately august of 2018, the vehicle was taken to battlefield ford culpeper (10463 james monroe hwy, culpeper, va 22701) where the passenger side air bag inflator was replaced. when the contact retrieved the vehicle, she noticed that the edge around the passenger air bag was not even with the rest of the dashboard. currently, a year later, the passenger side air bag could be seen because the cover detached around the edge of the dashboard. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but they would not repair the vehicle per the unknown air bag recall. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 160,000. the vin was unavailable.

Takata recall there is no damage to my car or airbag deployment that has happened yet but i was notified of this recall 3 years ago and would like to know why this has not been resolved yet. i do not want to wait until my loved ones or myself is injured from this issue. i would appreciate more urgency on this matter and the fact that i own a car that is defective. i have received several recall notices in the mail and have spoke with the dealership multiple times and no action has been taken yet to this matter, this is absurd.

Takata recall i received a notice regarding my takata airbag recall recently and since have been contacting the ford dealership that i purchased my car from to get it fixed. unfortunately, i keep getting told that they don't have the part and have no idea when it will be in. my husband was even told that the car is still completely safe. this is unacceptable service and i am still driving around with unsafe air bags because of their inability to fix the recall.

Takata recall - there is no remedy for this issue at this time and i would like this issue resolved. i have been waiting for 2 years for my car to get fixed. that is too long. using a rental car in lieu of fixing my car does not work for me. i fear for my life and for the life of any passengers in the car. ford should replace my car with a similar vehicle that doesn't have this problem. to date the airbags have not been used nor have they failed.

Takata recall, air bag issue has not been corrected.

Takata recall. i received notice of this recall in 2016. every once in a while i will receive a letter that says it is important, but that no arrangements have been made to replace it. the last letter said sometime this year, 2018, i would be contacted by ford to come in to have it replaced. and now i see there is a class action settlement in the play because ford has not taken the proper action. very disappointing. i would like to see my car fixed as it should be and not wonder if the airbag will explode when i am in an accident and then ford really needs to answer for the injury that could have been prevented. i should not have to reach out to see this resolved. a company should own up to the defective product and replace them.

Takata recall (nhtsa recall number16v384). i was notified by ford that my car, a 2008 ford fusion, was subject to a recall and that ford would notify me to have the airbag problem fixed as soon as parts became available. that was some time ago (i'm guessing 2 years ago). i have yet to be notified that the parts are available for fix the problem. when i contacted ford about the issue, they replied that they are working to get the parts and appreciate my patience. it seems that 2 years is a quite lengthy time for procuring the needed parts. my complaint is best stated as a question: is ford dragging its feet regarding this airbag recall in hopes that i will sell the car before the parts ever become available?

Takata recall. received notice of recall 1 year ago and have not heard anything since.

Takata recall it's been more than two years since the recall was issued. with a recall for something causing explosions in passenger faces remaining unresolved, this is absolutely not resolved a timely manner! i am not writing about some other incident involving the subject of the recall, but about the recall itself remaining unresolved. do we have any other recourse? not driving a vehicle for above two years is extremely unacceptable, as is a known risk of explosion!

Car has unsolved takata recall on the passenger side. when i called a few dealerships in the area and ford's corporate customer service about a loaner vehicle that they said they would offer for free (ford said they would pay up to $44/day), i called and talked over the phone for a couple of hours or more. all the dealers said was, "you are about 70 on the waiting list", and fomoco said, "ask the passenger to sit in the back seat instead."

Takata recall we purchased this vehicle from a local dealership in january of 2018 who never disclosed that there was an ongoing recall. we received a letter in the mail today describing the recall. it states that the dealership is authorized to provide a rental vehicle, but this vehicle was purchased for my son to drive (his name is also on the title) and he is underage and unable to rent a vehicle. this recall has been active since july 2016, ford needs to be made accountable for this. *tr

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.

No solution to driving around a faulty airbag

Takata recall received notice almost a year ago and a follow-up winter of 2018. ford still does not have a solution to the front passenger airbag. in the letter received from ford it stated to not let passengers ride in the front passenger seat for their safety. i now have a sedan that cannot be used as intended and no adequate date of a resolution.
