The dashboard on top of where the air bag is bowing up causing a space where there shouldn't be. I'm scared that the airbag will deploy on it's own with no reason. *tr

Air Bags
The air bag on the passenger side has been bulging for over a year now. When i first noticed it, i checked to see if it could be fixed. I was told that i would have to pay out of pocket expenses to fix it and it would probably cost me well $1000 bucks. Some have been quoted over $2000. My car is paid for and i am no longer covered under warranty. Even with a warranty i was informed that it would most likely not be…

Takata recall. I have called my local dealership when first hearing of the recall. After several attempts to get this taken care of they do not have the part. I was told they would connect with me when they got it. It has been well over a year, no part, no call.

Takata recall - a recall for the passenger frontal airbag was issued in july 2016, but the recall is incomplete and a remedy is still not available. I have been using this car for the last 4 years with a hazardous airbag and 6 months after the recall was issued, a remedy is still not available... This is a safety hazard!

Airbag light stays on for the driver's side; sometimes i can get it to turn off if i restart the car. Not sure what would happen with the indicator light on; afraid that the airbag may deploy. Electrical: two things with the electrical. The first is the compass error. This actually occurred january 2012 (don't remember the mileage). I was parked in a parking lot and turned my vehicle on to have it warm up while i…

The airbag is sticking out of the dashboard and ford doesn't want to do anything about it. I believe that being this is safety concern and should be covered by ford. I have contacted them because we have a concern that the airbag will fail or just blow out of the dashboard without any notice. *tr

Inside door handles are made of plastic. And therefore they break. I have had three replaced at 250.00 per replacement. When a car cost 30,000 dollars, and it is made of plastic on the parts that are used most often, and a paint that is pealing. The clear coat is flaking off and make a care look unkept. Not sure i will ever buy another ford product. My husband has a 150 truck 2008 and i tit is holding up fine.

Took my car in to the ford dealer and they said they would not replace the airbag because it had a savage title. The car was in a wreck in pennsylvania. It had driver's side damage and was repaired. I am told that when there is an accident in pennsylvania, they always put salvage on the title. Does ford need to replace?

I wanted to file my complaint on the brakes. I have had this vehicle since 8/07 and have had a few mechanics check the brakes. If i hit my brakes going over a bump they will go straight to the floor. Most times it takes a couple hours for the brakes to return to normal. I have had many close calls; with the last one hitting the brakes and not knowing a bump was there, i had to swerve to keep from running into the…
