Dash is lifting beneath the passenger side airbag. I'm afraid the air bag either may deploy unexpectedly or not at all. *tr

The air bag on the passenger side of the vehicle, above the glovebox has exposed itself and the actual part of the surrounding dashboard has lifted upwards on it's own, it appears to be a safety defect and now my passenger airbag light stays on and i'm scared it will go off at any time due to the exposure of the components. *tr

The air bag on the passenger side of the vehicle, above the glovebox has exposed itself and the actual part of the surrounding dashboard has lifted upwards on it's own, due to hear in my opinion, it is a safety defect and now my passenger airbag light is on (which means it's shut off on it's own) and i'm scared it will go off at any time due to the exposure of the components. *tr

Dashboard vinyl and padding is bulging away from the passenger airbag panel. This seems to be a safety issue as the airbag may not deploy properly in an accident, or may deploy at any time without an accident and injure the passenger. Sometimes airbag light goes on. Although the dashboard looks unsightly, this is not a cosmetic issue, it is a safety issue!! *tr

Back in june,2014 i noticed something weird on my dash. For some reason the dash above the passenger side airbag is bubbling up. At first i thought it might be the heat from the sun, so i started parking my car in the shade to avoid higher temps hitting the dash. Unfortunately, it did not help. The bubble kept growing and growing. Now it's so large that i am worried that the airbag has become compromised. I am…

Dashboard around front passenger airbag is bulging up and will likely interfere with proper deployment of the bag in case of accident. This is a chronic problem with first generation fusions that ford refuses to address.

Takata recall i live in texas and drive a 2007 ford. Both the age of my car and where i live are supposed to put me high on the list for the airbag recall, but i have heard nothing since a recall notification in july 2016. The delay is dangerous. The process needs to be accelerated. I don't feel safe in my own vehicle. "when did this happen" question below is not applicable. I made up a date because it's a required…

On several occasions, primarily in colder weather, the air bag indicator in the instrument cluster on the dash board remains on after starting. This happens unpredictably at random intervals. Once the engine is warm, shutting off the ignition and restarting will resolve the problem. I am told that the air bags will not deploy if the air bag light is on. *tr

Air bag on passenger side is starting to bulge out of dash, sad there is not a recall for this seeing that there are plenty complaints about this. Passenger seat belt where it fastens does not work it clicks like it is locked but if you tugged on seatbelt it automatically pops out not very safe if it doesn't work right. Very disappointed in these flaws b/c i used to love my car!! *tr
