2008 Ford Fusion Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALLS: THIS HAS GONE ON FOR TOO LONG. THE NHTSA IS NOT PUTTING ENOUGH PRESSURE ON GETTING THESE AIRBAGS REPLACED. VEHICLES SHOULD BE "GROUNDED" AND A FREE RENTAL PROVIDED AND THAT WILL GET SOME ACTION. ONCE THE GOVERNMENT REACHED A SETTLED ANY EFFORTS FOR GETTING THE ISSUE RESOLVED STOPPED.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS SENT NOTICE REGARDING MY VEHICLE. I CALLED MY FORD DEALER AND THEY STATED THE PARTS TO FIX AREN'T AVAILABLE YET. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE TO COMPLAIN AND THEY OFFERED ME NO REMEDY, FIX, APOLOGY, RENTAL CAR, ETC. I INTEND TO DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL IT BREAKS AND IT'S STILL IN GREAT SHAPE WITH PLENTY LIFE LEFT.

TAKATA RECALL NOTIFIED OF RECALL FOR AIRBAG 6/1/16, AS OF 6/5/17 STILL NOT FIXED. "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE". WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED???

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL ON MY CALL OVER A YEAR AGO (JUNE 1, 2016) AND THE DEALERSHIPS STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS. I AM CURRENTLY NOW EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND IT IS BEING TREATED AS THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS ISSUE. THE ISSUE I AM EXPERIENCING IS WHEN I DRIVE THE TOP COVER TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS RATTLING AND NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON.

THE DASH AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AS WELL AS THE VENT ALONGSIDE THE WINDSHIELD AND THE SWITCH THAT TURNS ON AND OFF THE LIGHTS AS WELL AS DIMMING THE LIGHTS AND A TRUNK RELEASE HATCH IS BUCKLING UP AND SEPARATING FROM EACH OTHER THIS HAS OCCURRED DUE TO JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND DRIVING SITUATIONS AND NORMAL TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS

WE PURCHASED OUR FORD FUSION 2008 THROUGH A PRIVATE SALE IN MAY OF 2016. THE VEHICLE IS LISTED AS PART OF THE TAKATA PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATER RECALL SINCE JUNE 1 OF 2016. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL. I FOUND THE INFORMATION ONLINE AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND HEARING REPORTS OF A MASSIVE RECALL IN THE NEWS. AROUND JUNE 25, 2016 ON A PARTICULARLY HOT AND HUMID DAY, THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT EXPANDED AND CREATED A BUMP IN THE DASHBOARD. A GEL LEAKED OUT OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, INTO THE GLOVE BOX AND ON THE DASHBOARD. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A DEFECTIVE INFLATOR, BUT WE ALSO HAVE AN AIRBAG THAT WAS SOMEHOW ACTIVATED BY HEAT AND HUMIDITY. I HIGHLY SUSPECT THIS AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF THE CAR IS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THREE DEALERS (TWO IN OUR AREA AND THE DEALER THAT SOLD THE CAR TO IT'S FIRST OWNER. THE FIRST TWO DEALERS SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ONE DEALER SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE AIRBAG IF WE PAY OVER $600. THEY ALSO ASSURED ME THAT THE BULGING DASHBOARD AND OOZING GEL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL, BUT I WAS WELCOME TO WORK WITH TAKATA AFTER PAYING FOR THE AIRBAG TO TRY TO GET A REFUND. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS ALSO NOT HELPFUL SAYING THIS IS A PRODUCTION ISSUE WITH TAKATA, AND TAKATA DOESN'T HAVE CAPACITY TO PRODUCE THE NEEDED AIRBAGS MORE QUICKLY. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO PARK THE CAR TO RUST, AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SELL A CAR THAT HAS A SAFETY DEFECT. HOW LONG IS TOO LONG TO EXPECT TAKATA TO PRODUCE THE NEEDED AIRBAGS? WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT WITH SIGNIFICANT INJURY WHILE WAITING FOR THIS FAULTY AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED?

TAKATA RECALL: THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. RECALL SINCE JUNE 2016, NO PARTS AVAILABLE.
