Air Bags · Structure
The dashboard is bulging/buckling against the passenger side airbag. The bubble appears to be caused by the dash material surrounding the airbag becoming detached or unglued. The position of this bulging and separation cause concern that the airbag may malfunction upon deployment. *tr

I have a 2006 ford fusion that needs a paint job on the roof, because it is peeling. I bought the car new, and have owned it for less than two years. It has 39,000 miles on it, thus making it 3,000 miles out of warranty. Common sense and places i have taken it to consider this a defect. *tr

First, i don't like the tilt in the car...very difficult to use if you have arthritis. I don't like that there aren't any back seat lights for whomever is back there. I had problems with my steering…
