2008 Ford Fusion complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I CALLED DEALER TO SCHEDULE REPAIR. DEALER REPORTS THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE IN MY LOCATION.

"TAKATA RECALL".....AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON...THERE IS NO AIRBAG IN PLACE

TAKATA RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALER TO GET REPLACEMENT PART BUT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. DEALER SAID WAIT ON A LETTER FROM FORD THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH OFF AND ON, STARTING SEPTEMBER, 2017. SOMETIMES IN COLD POSITION, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING.

HAVE REQUESTED APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR TO DEALER,PAYNE FORD OF WESLACO, REPEATEDLY SINCE 2016 RECALL NOTIFICATION. LATEST ON 24 OCTOBER 2017. ASKED TO BE PLACED ON WAITING LIST. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RECENTLY RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS ALERTING HIM THAT THEY FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE BRAKES GO SPONGY AFTER HITTING A SIMPLE POTHOLE. YOU HAVE TO PUSH YOUR FOOT TO THE FLOOR AND BE SURE YOU HAVE ROOM TO STOP AND NOT HIT ANYTHING. IF YOU HAD A SUDDEN STOP, IT WOULD TAKE WAY LONGER TO STOP. THERE IS OVER 160 COMPLAINTS ON THIS ON SAME YEAR OF FUSION. THAT SAYS ENOUGH TO ME. SOME PEOPLE SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKE CONTROL UNIT. DEFECTIVE MEANS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE AIR BAGS ARE STILL AN ISSUE AS WELL. PLEASE HELP WITH A RECALL!!!

WHILE BRAKING DOWN A HILL AND ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN, THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED ON SUDDENLY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES FELT VERY SLUGGISH AFTER THAT, LIKE ONLY THE REAR BREAKS WERE WORKING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE ANY DECELERATION. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A MECHANIC HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THE ABS HYDROLIC UNIT OF THE VEHICLE NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK YET FROM THE MECHANIC BUT IT WILL COST AT LEAST $1100 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. $800 FOR THE ABS HYDROLIC UNIT AND $300 FOR LABOR AND SERVICES.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CALLED TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I GOT MY RECALL NOTICE JULY 2016. WHEN CAN I EXPECT A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG? MY WIFE IS GETTING TIRED OF RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT.

I FOUND MY WIFES FORD FUSION UNDER RECALL AND AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE NO AIRBAGS AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL AT THIS TIME. HER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON AFTER STARTING HER CAR AT LEAST 4 TIMES THIS YEAR, I HAVE FOUND NO WAY TO SAFELY DISCONNECT OR TURN OFF THE AIRBAGS UNTIL NEW AIRBAGS ARE AVAILABLE, I WORRY EVERY TIME SHE DRIVES HER CAR OR HAS PASSENGERS WITH HER, ESPECIALLY HER ELDERLY HANDICAPPED MOTHER OR WHEN WE HAVE OUR 5 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WITH US, WHAT IF THE AIRBAGS GO OFF FOR NO REASON? WHO PAYS? WHAT IF THERE ARE DEATHS, NOT JUST IN OUR CAR, BUT WHAT IF THE BAGS CAUSE US TO HIT ANOTHER CAR HEAD ON, THEN WHAT? WE ARE TERRIFIED OF THESE AIRBAGS AND NEED HELP!

TAKATA RECALL

I WAS NOTIFIED JUNE 2016 OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AND AS OF THIS DATE 10/19/2017 NO REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN 16 MONTHS WITH NO CORRECTION AVAILABLE, I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE SINCE DEATH HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS ESPECIALLY IN THE STATE WE LIVE IN WITH IT'S HEAT AND HUMIDITY

"TAKATA RECALL" - RECEIVED A LETTER JULY 2016 ABOUT AIRBAG RECALL, BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING SINCE. STATUS ON NHTSA WEBSITE SHOWS IT'S STILL UNRESOLVED.

WHEEL STUDS ARE TWISTING OFF AND STRETCHING WHEN PUTTING THE LUG NUTS BACK ON AT THE RECOMMENDED TORQUE OF 98 LBS. STUDS APPEAR SOFT. I SEE FORD HAD ISSUES ON THE 2010-2011 FUSION AND MILANS. APPEARS TO BE SAME ISSUE. MANY STUDS CAN ONLY BE TORQUED TO 80 LBS. SERVICE PROVIDED BY THEISENS SERVICE CENTER IN DYERSVILLE IA. THAT VERY WEEK THEISENS HAD A 2007 FORD FUSION IN WITH THE VERY SAME ISSUE. HMMM SOUNDS LIKE A VERY VALID CONCERN.

TAKATA RECALL: THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. RECALL SINCE JUNE 2016, NO PARTS AVAILABLE.

WE PURCHASED OUR FORD FUSION 2008 THROUGH A PRIVATE SALE IN MAY OF 2016. THE VEHICLE IS LISTED AS PART OF THE TAKATA PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATER RECALL SINCE JUNE 1 OF 2016. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL. I FOUND THE INFORMATION ONLINE AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND HEARING REPORTS OF A MASSIVE RECALL IN THE NEWS. AROUND JUNE 25, 2016 ON A PARTICULARLY HOT AND HUMID DAY, THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT EXPANDED AND CREATED A BUMP IN THE DASHBOARD. A GEL LEAKED OUT OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, INTO THE GLOVE BOX AND ON THE DASHBOARD. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A DEFECTIVE INFLATOR, BUT WE ALSO HAVE AN AIRBAG THAT WAS SOMEHOW ACTIVATED BY HEAT AND HUMIDITY. I HIGHLY SUSPECT THIS AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF THE CAR IS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THREE DEALERS (TWO IN OUR AREA AND THE DEALER THAT SOLD THE CAR TO IT'S FIRST OWNER. THE FIRST TWO DEALERS SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ONE DEALER SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE AIRBAG IF WE PAY OVER $600. THEY ALSO ASSURED ME THAT THE BULGING DASHBOARD AND OOZING GEL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL, BUT I WAS WELCOME TO WORK WITH TAKATA AFTER PAYING FOR THE AIRBAG TO TRY TO GET A REFUND. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS ALSO NOT HELPFUL SAYING THIS IS A PRODUCTION ISSUE WITH TAKATA, AND TAKATA DOESN'T HAVE CAPACITY TO PRODUCE THE NEEDED AIRBAGS MORE QUICKLY. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO PARK THE CAR TO RUST, AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SELL A CAR THAT HAS A SAFETY DEFECT. HOW LONG

2008 FORD FUSION BRAKES ARE SOFT AND GO TO FLOOR. TAKES LONGER AND MORE ROOM TO BRAKE. FIRST HAPPENED WHEN RAINING OR HITTING A PUDDLE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO FLOOR; NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU BRAKE. PUSH PEDAL DOWN IT GOES 75% DOWN BEFORE BRAKE ENGAGES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE FOUND TO BE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT.

HI IM HAVING TROUBLE BRAKING AFTER MY ABS KICKS IN. MY PEDAL SINKS TO THE FLOOR USUALLY. THE CAR IS ALWAYS BRAKING DIFFERENT NOW SOMETIMES I BARELY HAVE TO PRESS IT BUT THEN IT SINKS AND LOSSES PRESSURE. THERE IS NO BRAKE LIGHT OR ABS LIGHT ON. IVE HAD MY BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTED AND A BRAKE LINE FLUSH. IT DIDNT HELP. IT SEEMS LIKE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL ... RECEIVED NOTICE IN JULY 2016 AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED FOR APPOINTMENT TO GET REPAIRED, I DID CALL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR A FEW MONTHS BACK AND THEY CLAIM THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL WHO OCCUPY MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE MILLION OTHERS WHO OCCUPY THESE RECALLED VEHICLES IN THE EVENT OF A AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AN INJURY OR DEATH. WHY OR WHAT IS THE HOLD UP... THE CAR OWNERS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW, STAND BEHIND YOUR COMPANY, MAYBE I SHOULD LET MR. TRUMP KNOW ABOUT THIS LOL

ATTACHED IS THE WORK ORDER AND THE PAYMENT RECEIPT WE PAID FORD, WE PRAY THAT WE CAN GET OUR MONEY BACK. ON OCT 28,2015 MY FORD FUSION: LOW/SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AT TIMES , I BROUGHT MY CERTIFIED PRE OWNED FORD FUSION 2008 IN 2012, AT CAPITAL FORD DEALERSHIP IN RALEIGH NC. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS WONDERFUL. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN ON SOCIAL SECURITY I HAVE NO FUNDS FOR SAVINGS SO I AM LIMITED IN WHAT I DO, MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, I DRIVE MY GREAT GRANDSON TO KINDERGARTEN DAILY, TO SCHOOL AND ON THAT DAY IT WAS A DRY DAY, I AM AFRAID THE CAR WON'T STOP ONE DAY. I HAVE ALL INFO THAT IT IS NOT THE MASTER CYLINDER, BUT A HCU, MY WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 124,000 MILES, I HAVE 132,000 MILES, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE 2008 FORD FUSIONS. THEN ON NOV. 3 I WAS DRIVING TO RALEIGH AND WENT TO STOP AT THE LIGHT AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND I PANICKED BUT GOT THE CAR TO STOP WITH HITTING ANY THING, WHEN MY HUSBAND CALLED FORD THE MAN SAID THAT THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THAT YEAR VEHICLE BEFORE, AND THAT ALL 3 COMPONENTS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED ANT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE NO MONEY OTHER THAN SOCIAL SECURITY, AND WE HAD TO PAY $2,700 TO HAVE IT FIXED THIS IS SO TERRIBLE FOR A COMPANY LIKE FORD TO HAVE A RECALL ON FLOOR MATS AND NOT ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM OR THE TRANSMISSION, OUR CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO FORD ABOUT THE CAR LURCHING FORWARD WHEN WE STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THEM AT 40 MILES PER HOUR THE WHOLE CAR WOULD LURCH LIKE IT

REFERENCE COMPLAINT NO. 11006081 AND NO. 11006075 AIRBAG REPLACEMENT - 2007 MUSTANG AND 2008 FUSION: I FOUND THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON A HONDA WEBSITE - "THE 'ALPHA' DRIVER-FRONT AIRBAG INFLATORS WERE THE SUBJECT OF THE FIRST TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS STARTING IN 2008. IN MOST CASES, THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES DID NOT REPLACE THE INFLATORS UNDER THOSE RECALLS AND, THUS, THE VEHICLES REMAIN UNREPAIRED. NOW, BECAUSE OF THE TIME THAT HAS PASSED, THEY ARE EVEN MORE LIKELY TO RUPTURE IF THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYS IN A CRASH. IN FACT, IN TESTING DONE BY TAKATA, ALPHA INFLATORS REMOVED FROM VEHICLES IN CONSISTENTLY HOT AND HUMID AREAS SHOWED A RUPTURE RATE AS HIGH AS 50 PERCENT." CAN I EXPECT THE SAME, HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF KILL RATE, IN THE INFLATORS IN MY 2007 MUSTANG AND 2008 FUSION AS THEY AGE, AS FOUND BY HONDA? I WILL PAY TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS/INFLATORS REPLACED - REQUEST YOUR OFFICE PROVIDE THE CORRECT PART NUMBERS AND RECOMMENDED PLACE TO HAVE THE WORK CORRECTLY ACCOMPLISHED. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM YOUR OFFICE TO EITHER REFERENCED COMPLAIN, ANY INFORMATION YOUR OFFICE CAN PROVIDE IS APPRECIATED. V/R, TOM

WITHOUT WARNING, THE BRAKES ALMOST COMPLETELY FAILED. THE PEDAL WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS MUCH LONGER THAN USUAL. THE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. HE THEN ELECTRONICALLY PURGED THE ABS SYSTEM THREE TIMES AND NORMAL BRAKING AND PEDAL TRAVEL WERE RESTORED. HE GAVE ME A COPY OF TSB 575576.

BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE AFTER HITTING A SPEED BUMP AND IT TOOK 30 MINS TO RESUME TO THE NORMAL POSITION. BREAKING WAS VERY SLOW DURING THIS TIME AND TOOK A LONGER DISTANCE TO BRAKE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE WHICH SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING THIS YEAR OF FORD FUSIONS IT APPEARS IT IS A FAULT WITH THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT.

AT TIMES MY ABS WILL KICK IN WHEN HITTING A BUMP WHILE BRAKING OR WHEN HARD BRAKING, AFTER THE ABS KICKS IN I LOSE ALL PRESSURE AND HAVE TO FLOOR MY BRAKE PEDAL TO BE ABLE TO STOP. EVENTUALLY MY BRAKES RE PRESSURIZE BUT THIS TAKES TIME, THIS LAST EVENT TOOK 2.5 WEEKS FOR MY BRAKES TO "COME BACK". THIS IS ALSO NO THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I ALMOST HIT A GIRL CROSSING THE STREET, MY ABS KICKED IN, THEN MY BRAKES FAILED AND I HAD TO FLOOR THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, I NEARLY HIT THE GIRL. THANKFULLY I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED AND KNEW TO FLOOR MY BRAKE PEDAL. FIRST INCIDENT: I WAS BRAKING TO A STOP AND MY TIRE HIT A RAISED MANHOLE COVER IN THE ROAD, WASN'T REAL HARD BUT ENOUGH THAT MY BRAKES "FAILED" AND I SKIDDED INTO THE INTERSECTION, THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS MOVING YET. MY BRAKES RECOVERED A COUPLE DAYS LATER. SECOND INCIDENT: THE YOUNG GIRL I ALMOST HIT, I MENTIONED THIS IN THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH. HEADING TO WORK, DOING ABOUT 30, I SPACED OUT FOR A MIN, GIRL STARTS TO CROSS, I SLAM ON THE BRAKES.(YES, I KNOW, IT WAS BAD ALL AROUND). THE ABS KICKS IN, I START TO SLOW, THEN I LOSE 99% OF MY BRAKES AND I HAVE TO FLOOR MY PEDAL TO STOP FROM HITTING HER. I CAME WITHIN 5 FEET OF THE GIRL. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER INSTANCES BUT I DON'T REMEMBER SPECIFICS. ALTHOUGH, THE TWO EVENTS ABOVE, THE FIRST ONE WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, THE SECOND WAS 2 WEEKS AGO.

TUCSON, AZ. CITY DRIVING; POTHOLES AND SAND ON ROADWAYS COMMON. NO EVASIVE OR AVOIDANCE SKIDDING PRECEDED POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE. BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED NEARLY TO THE FLOOR TO GET BRAKE ACTION, WHICH IS ONLY PARTIAL BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS. BRAKE REPAIR SHOP REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER - NO CHANGE IN BRAKE PERFORMANCE. BRAKE REPAIR SHOP THEN REPLACED ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT - BRAKE PERFORMANCE RETURNS TO NORMAL. BRAKE SHOP ADVISED ABS CAN ACTIVATE WITH CAUSE, THEN HCU VALVE STICKS OPEN, CREATING REPORTED CONDITION.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON / VEHICLE LOST OF POWER. FORD HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 14-0059 THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. WHY HAS IS THIS NOT A RECALL? COIL # 1 MELTED AND DAMAGED PCM

DURING ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS, SUCH AS ICY OR WET, IF I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE, OR TAKE A SHARP TURN SOMETIMES THE ABS DOES NOT KICK IN AND MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR BARELY SLOWS DOWN TO A STOP. IF I PUMP MY BRAKES DURING THIS THEY WILL WORK AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND NOT EVERY TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES I HAVE VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE AT THE FORD MOSES IN ST. ALBANS WV TWICE AND IT SITS THERE NOW. ACCORDING TO COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PRIVATE MECHANICS IT IS MY HCU BUT FORD WILL NOT REPLACE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE BRAKE FAILURE. IT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. ACCORDING TO PRIVATE MECHANICS AND INFORMATION THEY RESEARCHED IT IS A VALVE IN THE HCU NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY AND IS A FACTORY DEFECT IN THE PART, HOWEVER FORD WILL NOT ADMIT IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKING SYSTEM CHECKED BY 2 PRIVATE MECHANICS AND BEEN TO FORD TECHNICIANS TWICE WITH ROTORS, BRAKE LINES, CALIPERS, AND BRAKES INSPECTED, REMOVED AND PUT BACK ON, CALIPERS REPLACED, BRAKE LINES BLED, AND STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE NOTHING TO UPLOAD BECAUSE THE CAR IS SITTING AT THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE AT 25-35MPH, ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, AND PULLING INTO A SIDE STREET AT LOW SPEEDS, AS WELL AS WHEN HITTING POTHOLES OR BUMPS IN THE ROADS AND PARKING LOTS BUT ALL INSTANCE

16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 THIS RECALL ON MY FORD VEHICLE IS OVER ONE YEAR OLD AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL NOTICE?

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2008 FORD FUSION WHEN A TRACTOR TRAILER SUDDENLY PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE TRACTOR TRAILER AND MY ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED. AFTER MY ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED, I LOST SIGNIFICANT BRAKE PRESSURE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND LOW RANGE GEAR TO COME TO A STOP EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN A STEEP GRADIENT HILL. MY CAR HAD ABOUT 100,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A MECHANICS SHOP WHERE THE MECHANIC SAID THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT WAS STUCK. I REMOVED THE FUSE FOR THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM TO DISABLE IT.

THE DASH AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AS WELL AS THE VENT ALONGSIDE THE WINDSHIELD AND THE SWITCH THAT TURNS ON AND OFF THE LIGHTS AS WELL AS DIMMING THE LIGHTS AND A TRUNK RELEASE HATCH IS BUCKLING UP AND SEPARATING FROM EACH OTHER THIS HAS OCCURRED DUE TO JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND DRIVING SITUATIONS AND NORMAL TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS
