2012 ford fusion involved in an accident. severe damage to vehicle on passenger side. the front seat belts did not lock and the front passenger and the driver were thrown in the cabin. in addition, according to body repair shop and insurance adjusters, impact was at the location of the sensor for side curtain airbags. however, the airbags did not deploy. in fact, bracket for air bag sensor was broken, but it could not be determined whether the bracket was broken prior to the accident or upon impact. rear passenger received a severe head injury. ford motor company has instructed me to take vehicle in to a dealer and have the restraint control module ("rcm") replaced and to send the original to the company for analysis. they are paying for this. further research indicates that there is a recall for ford fiestas related to the programming of the rcm and its failure to deploy airbags that could lead to injuries to a rear passenger. this sounds very similar, and may warrant an investigation to see if that recall should be expanded to other ford vehicles. unfortunately, one would only know of the failure if there is an accident. *tr updated 3/27/13 *cn updated 05/09/2013 *js

I received a letter from ford that there is a recall for the air bag in my car back in january 2017, it has been 11 months and ford dealership still doesn't have the parts needed to do the repair. how long must i wait to get this recall done? i just received a notice of chapter 11 case # 17-11375 (bls) this week and i called ford dealership again today and was told that i do not live in humidity so don't worry. really i have been driving this car of the past 5 years with a bad air bag and i am not to worry !!!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford fusion. while driving approximately 30 mph, the contact crashed into a tree and the air bags failed to deploy. there were no injuries reported. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 6,000.

I was wearing my seat belt hit head on driver front by another driver going approx 45mph, clear conditions. collision forced off road and i hit parked suv with my front passenger front. no airbag deployment occurred during either hit, self belt did not lock, i was forced upward hitting my head on inside roof handle above driver door, then thrown forward hitting my chin on steering wheel. i was knock unconscious for 3-4 minutes, fractured front tooth, dislocated jaw, suffered optic nerve injury, concussion, back and neck injuries. i was transported to the hospital. the initial body shop report did indicate the air bag modules had to replaced. the vehicle was totaled after it was determined the repairs cost more than the vehicle was worth. damage include entire front end, hood, broken, windshield, radiator, engine, underbody, driver door, rear door rear bumper and roof. air bags were still intact. pictures were taken at accident scene, towing facility and at salvage yard. i still suffer from the injuries and am currently on ssi unable to work. *tr

Takata recall

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford fusion. the contact was driving 3 mph and crossing an intersection when another vehicle crashed into the front driver side of the contact's vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. the vehicle was destroyed. a police report was filed. the driver sustained bruised ribs, tendonitis on her right arm and shoulder and neck pain. the contact mentioned that the driver of the other vehicle sustained a bruised wrist and pain to the left knee and leg. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure and current mileage was 5,100.

Takata recall i was told early this year that my vehicle has unsafe passenger-side air bags. this means my car's passenger safety is compromised. yet nothing has been done with my car to solve the problem by ford, other than a promise that some day they will provide a free replacement. i purchased a brand new car in 2012 with safety air bag features. how long should i have to wait to get them?
