2008 Ford Fusion AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE

DASHBOARD WARPED OVER PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PARTIALLY BLOCKING AIRBAG COVER. FEAR IT MIGHT AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED AND EXPOSING THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

WHERE MY DASHBOARD AIRBAG IS ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE IS IT IS BULGING(SEEING FOAM CURRENTLY). *TR

2008 FORD FUSION SEL AWD: THE DASHBOARD COVER IS PEELING UP IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND IS CONTINUING TO GET WORSE AS TIME PASSES. THE VINYL COVER APPEARS TO BE DELAMINATING FROM THE FOAM RUBBER BENEATH IT AND COULD INTERFERE WITH THE PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR

MY 2008 FORD FUSION PURCHASED BRAND NEW ALSO HAS THE BULGING DASHBOARD ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. IT NOT ONLY LOOKS BAD BUT WHO KNOWS IF THE AIR BAG WILL EVEN DEPLOY IN A FRONT END CRASH? I HAVE ALSO HAS CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AND TODAY I NEED A NEW OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR TO THE TUNE OF ANOTHER $500 IN REPAIRS. CAR NOW HAS 130K MI. *TR

DASH BOARD AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG BUBBLING OUT, LIFTING UP, AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON IN CAR. WORRIED AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY WHEN IT'S NOT SUPPOSE TO OR NOT DEPLOY WHEN I NEED IT TO. *TR

DASH IS PEELING, I KNOW FOR A FACT, THERE ARE MANY OTHER CARS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SUPPOSE, FORD USED SOME BAD GLUE FROM MEXICO. REPLACEMENT IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE AIR BAG? *TR

DASH AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG BUBBLING AND POPPING OUT. *TR

I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DASH POPPING UP AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT? MY CAR IS A 2008 I'VE HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO THIS STARTING HAPPENING. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT NOT WEAR & TEAR. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL BUYER OF A 2008 FORD FUSION SE - WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2008 - IT NOW APPEARS THAT THERE IS A BULGING NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AREA ON MY CAR'S DASHBOARD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SINCE THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. FORD REFUSES TO FIX SINCE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I LOOKED ON LINE AT IT APPEARS MANY OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BULGING DASHBOARD. I AM AFRAID THIS COULD LEAD TO A DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. FORD WILL HAVE DASHBOARD FIXED FOR OVER $1,200.00 AT MY COST. HOW IS THIS FAIR THAT I MUST PAY FOR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THE FORD CORPORATION CREATED. CAN YOU ASSIST IN ANY MANNER. *TR

NOTICED PASSENGER DASH UPHOLSTERY, IN FRONT OF PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS BUCKLED,AND POPPING UP. TWO DIFFERENT FORD SERVICE MANAGERS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY DUE TO THE DASH PROTRUDING. THEY BOTH TOOK PHOTOS AND FORD REFUSED TO ADDRESS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BY YEARS. I ONLY HAVE APPROX. 34,000 MILES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY DEFECT, IF MY AIR BAG OPERATION MIGHT BE AFFECTED. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE ENTIRE DASH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT IS APPROX A $1,000 REPAIR. *TR
