Dashboard peeling back in front of passenger side airbag. Very common issue for 2006-2009 fusions which ford refuses to acknowledge as a safety issue or offer repair without significant cost to owner. Dashboard peels back and bubbles in front of where passenger airbag deploys and may cause interference with airbag operation. This is not an isolated incident or result of improper care by owners, the problem is too…

We purchased the used car for our 16 year old daughter at the end of december 2012. Over the first year of purchase, we noticed that the dashboard started to lift up around the passenger air bag. We checked with the ford dealership to see if there was a recall or a fix for it and they said no. He said the entire dashboard would need to be replaced because it is defective - very expensive. I was more concerned about…

I own a 2008 ford fusion and the door cable has broken three times. I have to let my window down to open the door from the outside. God forbid if i get trapped and cant open my door. Also my wheel bearing has gone bad and i noticed on other reviews this is a problem with ford fusions. Please check into these matters. As you desire to protect the consumers i wasnt to protect my family.

If the airbag were to deploy, it could be affected by this amount of risen dashboard. I've also seen this in other 2008 ford fusions. Sent letters to ford, and they…

Drivers interior door handle broke. There wasnt any warning, it just no longer worked. In order to open the door, the "lock" release has to be pulled. When researching the repair, i found mutiple links regarding the repair with numerous moments of defect. Anywhere from 10,000 to 80,000 miles for points of failure. One person even explained that now he can replace his door handle in less than 30...since he has done…
