Air Bags
The passenger side air bag quit working. The air bag warning light came on and would not go off. Do not know if automobile was moving or still. Had to have replace the inboard and outboard seat zero weight sensors, rail assembly and replace the passenger seat air bag module. It was very expensive for a part of the car that should last more than 54000 miles.

Air Bags
The frontal passenger takata airbag has not yet burst, however, the cover and sides have curled up somewhat and makes a rupture of the inflator appear imminent. I have waited literally years for a free replacement but am still sidelined with being told the parts are not ready yet. Are you kidding me? I need a replacement before the thing ruptures and kills someone.

Passenger side airbag is bulging up on one side. I park in a garage and i'm in wi so we don't get extreme heat, so i'm not sure why i'm having a issue. It's either an airbag issue or a dashboard issue. My passenger side airbag light appears to be working fine...it only goes on with a passenger or when my purse gets too heavy and its on the seat. Also, my accelerator petal makes a weird static-sounding noise when…

The air bag light came on and stayed on. I took it to the local ford dealership. The service rep said that the passenger seat air bag sensor was defective. He said that there were no recalls and it would cost me $868.00 to fix it. I can't afford it so we're driving it with the light on. I think ford should replace it because many people have the same or similar problem with their fusions as well as a host of other…

My wife was driving down the road and noticed some bulging thru the passenger airbag on the dash.
