I took my fusion in for the airbag recall. The airbag was replaced and now the dash is slightly raised up and looks like the airbag is going to blow out of it anytime.

The headlights on the 2019 ford fusion are horrendous! There is very little visibility, i'm constantly having to turn on my brights to even see some aspects of the road i'm on. This is irresponsible on fords part and needs to be addressed as soon as possible! There's no telling how many accidents this has cause and or will cause in the future.

I have checked the fuses, light bulbs, and even replaced the headlamp switch but nothing. The ford dealership where i had it repaired stated the repair would not affect my lights. Had the car for the past 4 years and never had a problem until now. Too…

Driving car one day and turn signals failed to function when preparing to make a turn in town. Checked fuses and bulbs and all were good. Tried the left turn signal and it was not working either. Also noticed wipers and none of the steering wheel controls were operational.
