Ford motor company sent me several recall notices. When I responded to have the recall done by their mobile unit, they complied . I had no issues with my airbag light in the dash prior to the recall being performed. After the air bag recall was performed, the airbag light came on and stated on.

My vehicle was in a accident involving a frontal crash of both vehicles in joliet and my airbags didn't deploy. I have since had my vehicle repaired by ford recall of the airbags and now I have had to replace my brakes at least twice a year when I only travel locally with my car.
Dashboard around the airbag and defrosting agent is bulging and coming apart. I feel that this would be a malfunction if the airbag were to be deployed causing serious injury or death.
After the recall of the air bag. I never had the air bag light on the dash on. After the dealer fix my air bag it would turn and off most of the time but after taking the car back to get it check the light was not on the dash but after a few month the light is on now and it won't turn off the dealer ship want to charge me to fix the problem now it's on all the time even if I'm stop or moving on the freeway.

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.

My air bags are turned off and so far no dealer said they can fix the air bags after all these years. My passenger seat belt would not buckle and ford refused to fix it unless I paid a 300.00 price. I took it to bell tire and they put a new one in for much less. I don't feel I should have paid anything because it was a safety issue. I also had to put 5 batteries in my car because the would be totally dead. The last one even though it was under warranty I had to pay for. Year 2017. I told them to dc my automatic starter because they thought for several yrs. It might be that and it was. In the mean time I paid for an altanater I did not need. Paid out a lot of money to the dealer that was not necessary. I have all the bills for all the years. All started in 2010with the battery which I bought when the car was still under lease. I bought the car and to date the miles are just going to 36,000

Takata inflators- been waiting for years for ford to replace. Safety issue for passengers.
The dashboard in my vehicle is defective and needs to be replaced. It is warped and impacts the function of the airbag. The warped dashboard bulges in front of the airbag compartment and prevents the airbag from sitting flush in the compartment. It is obvious that if the airbag deploys, it will not deploy properly. We have discussed this with the ford dealer and have been told it is not fords responsibility to replace the dash. We recently had the airbag replaced due to a recall and the problem worsened but the ford dealer again refused to replace the dashboard. We've included three pictures to demonstrate the extent of the problem. Since the dashboard is defect and affects that safety of the vehicle, the manufacturer should replace the dashboard at no cost to us.
Takata recall - received 5 letters from ford beginning in july 2016; contacted two different dealers and have yet been contacted for installation of new airbag.
