2008 Ford Fusion complaints

THE DASH IS POPPING UP AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG! FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS.

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT LOOKS AS IF IT WILL OPEN AT ANY MINUTE. IS THIS SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS? IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT.

NO SOLUTION TO DRIVING AROUND A FAULTY AIRBAG

RECALL NOTICE ISSUED JUNE 1, 2016 AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. IS NHTSA PUTTING ANY PRESSURE ON THE AUTOMAKERS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION? SURELY IF THEY CAN DEVELOP A NEW CAR AND HAVE IT ON THE MARKET IN TWO YEARS, THEY CAN HAVE ONE COMPONENT DEVELOPED AND AVAILABLE IN TWO YEARS. THIS DELAY IN GETTING AIRBAG COMPONENTS TO THE PUBLIC IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

2008 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG INFLATOR SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

"TAKATA RECALL" RECEIVED NOTICE ALMOST A YEAR AGO AND A FOLLOW-UP WINTER OF 2018. FORD STILL DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. IN THE LETTER RECEIVED FROM FORD IT STATED TO NOT LET PASSENGERS RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR THEIR SAFETY. I NOW HAVE A SEDAN THAT CANNOT BE USED AS INTENDED AND NO ADEQUATE DATE OF A RESOLUTION.

TAKATA RECALL CURRENTLY MY DASH IS STARTING TO WARP, IT LOOKS AS IF ITS GOING TO EXPLODE ON ITS OWN. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT A FEW TIMES AND WAS WARNED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BOTH TIMES. I USE THIS CAR TO COMMUTE TO WORK AND DROP MY LITTLE BROTHER OFF AT SCHOOL. I DO NOT LET PEOPLE SIT IN MY FRONT SEAT IN FEAR OF HARMING THEM. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CAUSING ME TO BE INELIGIBLE FOR INSPECTIONS SUCH AS EMISSIONS, IN ORDER TO RECEIVE ACTUAL PLATES ON MY CAR. MY REGISTRATION IS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED UNTIL I CAN PROVIDE PROOF THAT MY CAR IS ELIGIBLE TO PASS, CONCLUDING WHY I NEED THIS AIRBAG NOW. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED AND I'VE WAITED FAR TO LONG THINKING THAT FORD OR TAKATA WOULD BE DOING ANYTHING TO HELP ME.

TAKATA RECALL - WE HAVE CONTACTED 2-3 DEALERS AND THEY ALL SAY THEY WILL FOLLOW UP WHEN THE AIRBAG CAN BE REPLACED BUT NO ONE HAS CALLED. THIS RECALL ORIGINATED IN JANUARY 2017, SO IT'S BEEN NEARLY 18 MONTHS NOW. I DON'T FEEL SAFE HAVING THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN MY CAR AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT REPLACING IT OR CONTACTING ME WITH AN UPDATE ABOUT WHEN IT CAN BE REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN 2 YRS SINCE THE RECALL AND STILL HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE FIXED, WHEN I CHECK SAYS NOT REMEDY YET AND RECEIVE A LETTER SAYING TO NOT LET ANY ONE RIDE IN FRONT IN PASSENGER SIDE. REALLY WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A 5 PASSENGER CAR AND NO ONE CAN SIT IN FRONT. FORD NEEDS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT OR SHOULD DISCONNECT THE AIR BAGS TILL THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED.

THE DASHBOARD IS BULGING IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD AND IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE. I WONDER IF IT WOULD ACTIVATE CORRECTLY AT AN IMPACT DURING AN ACCIDENT OR IF IT WOULD ACTIVATE WHILE RIDING DOWN THE ROAD. IT STARTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER AND IT HAS SLOWLY MOVED TO THE LEFT SIDE DRIVER. THIS STARTED HAPPENING OVER 2 YEARS AGO AND IT'S SLOWLY BECOME WORSE. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE FIX THIS IS COSMETIC BUT IT ALSO IS FUNCTIONAL WITH THE AIRBAG RIGHT BEHIND IT WHERE IT STARTED.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED NOTICE TO REPAIR MORE THAN ONE YEAR AGO AND NO RESOLVE. NEED HELP TO EXPEDITE REPAIR.

RE: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V384; MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER16S26 IN TWO MORE DAYS, I WILL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TWO YEARS FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATORS IN MY 2008 FORD FUSION TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE SPENT ITS FIRST 7.5 YEARS IN THE HOT AND HUMID HELL THAT IS CENTRAL TEXAS, WHICH SHOULD MAKE THIS VEHICLE A PRIORITY FOR REPLACEMENT OF ITS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATORS. FORD TAKES THE EASY WAY OUT AND POINTS THE FINGER AT TAKATA, LEAVING DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS RISKING THEIR LIVES. CAN YOU PLEASE PROD FORD TO FIND ANOTHER SUPPLIER OF INFLATORS AND GET BUSY REPLACING THE FEDECTIVE INFLATORS IN VEHICLES FROM HOT & HUMID AREAS?

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANY REMEDY IN THE MAIL REGARDING THIS RECALL, AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR MONTHS DUE TO THIS RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. I WOULD LIKE THE AIRBAG THAT'S SUPPOSE TO SAVE A LIFE AND THAT'S BEEN RECALLED TO BE REPLACED SO IT'S SAFE AND WON'T POSSIBLY KILL ANYBODY. NO PROBLEMS AS OF YET. PLEASE ADVISE. AIRBAG HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR TWO YEARS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

TAKATA RECALL- I RECEIVED MY FIRST SAFETY RECALL LETTER REGARDING THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH BACK IN JULY 2016.

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN JULY 2016 THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THE LETTER SAYS THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO A PASSENGER. TWO YEAR WAIT FOR A DANGEROUS ISSUE IS TERRIBLE! NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

SON WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE HE REAR ENDED A VEHICLE. THE CAR IN FRONT STOPPED SHORT AND MY SON TRIED TO STOP BUT BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON RURAL 2 LANE ROAD AT ABOUT 30 MPH. MY SON TRIED TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TO MISS THE VEHICLE BUT CLIPPED HIM. OVER $4,000 IN REPAIRS AND BRAKES ARE STILL VERY SOFT. NEW CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER AND STILL NOT RIGHT. UPDATED 9/21/18*JB

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF RECALL OF PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MARCH 2017. RECALL STATES A RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. GIVEN THIS INFORMATION, I'VE RECEIVED NO FURTHER INFORMATION ON HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED AND ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS ALLOWED KNOWING THE RISKS. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE PLAN FOR GETTING THIS RECALL FIXED ASAP. THANKFULLY, I HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING HAPPEN YET, BUT WHO KNOWS IF I WOULD LIVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT...

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT OVER A YEAR FOR MY TAKATA RECALLED AIRBAGS DEFLATOR THING TO BE REPLACED.

WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED 01/04/2013. HAD WHOLE SYSTEM REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1700. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND FORD WANTS ME TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM AGAIN FOR CLOSE TO $2000.00. I HAD THEM FLUSH SYSTEM WHICH SEEMED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE FOR ONLY A MONTH. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO INJURY MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. IS THERE ANY ACTION I CAN TAKE TO GET FORD TO ADMIT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THERE BRAKES?01/

FORD FUSION ABS BRAKE FAILURE DURING BRAKING. MY ABS SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY FAILED, AND I FINALLY FEEL SAFE. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS TRYING TO KILL ME. BEFORE THE ABS SYSTEM FINALLY FULLY FAILED,( THE ORANGE DASH LIGHT IS NOW ON, AND THE ABS SYSTEM IS OFF.)THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD PICK THE WORST TIME TO FAIL , DURING BASIC BRAKING, EMERGENCY STOP BRAKING, WET BRAKING OR IN SAND. IT SEEMED THAT ANY TIME THE TIRES HAD LESS THAN PERFECT TRACTION, THE ABS COULD RANDOMLY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL IN AN EMERGENCY STOP SITUATION, OR BASIC BRAKING, WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, EMITTING A LOUD RATCHETING SOUND AS THE PEDAL BECAME INEFFECTIVE AND SOFT, NOT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN WHEEL SPEEDS WERE BELOW 30 MPH, AND THE CARS SENSORS THOUGHT THE TIRES HAD LOST TRACTION, WHEN THEY REALLY HAD NOT, I WAS ON I-4 DURING THE LAST HURRICANE AND HAD TO PARK THE CAR DUE TO ALL THE TRAFFIC STARTING AND STOPPING. THE BRAKE PEDAL DOING ITS RANDOM WORKING AND NOT WORKING, I ALMOST GOT INTO 4 DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILING, NEVER BEFORE HAVE I HAD A CAR WHERE I WONDERED IF THE BRAKES WERE GOING TO WORK, OR FAIL POSSIBLE CAUSING A CRASH. WITH THE ABS NOT ACTIVE, THE CARS BRAKING STILL WORKS, AND NOT ONCE HAS THE BRAKES FAILED WITH THE ORANGE DASH LIGHT ON. THIS MAJOR PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.,,, FORD STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED ME WITH A REPLACEMENT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE TAKATA AIRBAG THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL. SO I AM DRIVING

WHEN OPERATING MY 2008 FORD FUSION AND PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW AND STOP THE VEHICLE; THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A VERY SOFT SPONGY FEEL. THE TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TAKES THE PEDAL NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE SEEMS TO TAKE A LONGER TIME TO STOP. THIS BRAKING SITUATION OCCURS IN NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC AT 25MPH, CITY TRAFFIC AT 30 TO 40 MPH AND ON THE HIGHWAY AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS 50 MPH PLUS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD FUSION. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE PEDAL FELT SOFT. THE FAILURE CORRECTED ITSELF FOR EIGHT MONTHS UNTIL IT BECAME CONSTANT. THE DEALER (BILL KAY FORD, 2556 S CICERO AVE, MIDLOTHIAN, IL) DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

I HAVE A 2008 FORD FUSION AND THE PLATE ON THE DASH WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS LIFTING AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHERE MY AIRBAG IS ABOUT TO DEPLOY. IT HAS AS WELL MESSED MY DASH UP THERE IS SUCH A GAP. I HAVE CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND ALL THEY TELL ME IS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET IT AS WELL TELLING ME NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR. WELL I HAVE TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION SO WHAT DO THEY EXPECT ME TO DRIVE????? I AM REALLY HOPING IT DOES NOT DEPLOY CONSIDERING THIS HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR THAT IT IS ON RECALL AND JUST SO YOU KNOW MY VIN USE TO SHOW THE RECALL AND NOW IT DOES NOT!!! WHY IS THAT????

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE VERY WEAK AND BROKE. DOOR BECAME INOPERABLE FROM THE INSIDE. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR WAS TO TURN THE IGNITION ON, ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW, AND THEN RELEASE THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF AN EMERGENCY EXIT WAS NEEDED.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, AND IS SPONGY. CAR DOES NOT STOP AS WELL AS IT SHOULD. HAVE HAD ROTORS, CALIPERS, BRAKE PADS AND FLUID CHANGED. DID GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THIS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD FUSIONS. THE ISSUE IS THE ABS MODULE AND PUMP. A VALVE INSIDE GETS STUCK OPEN AND WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE FLUID JUST RECIRCULATES INSIDE THE MODULE, AND BRAKES LOSE EFFECTIVENESS.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED FIRST NOTICE OF DEFECTIVE AIR BAG IN JULY 2016. I MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO NO AVAIL. NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE. SECOND NOTICE RECEIVED IN DECEMBER 2017 WITH WARNING TO NOT HAVE RIDERS IN PASSENGER SEAT. MADE SEVERAL MORE CALLS. STILL NO PARTS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO GO FOR TWO YEARS WITH A DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH NO REMEDY! AND NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE PASSENGERS! NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER.........I HAVE TWO CASE #'S 10730307 AND 12294037. VERY UNHAPPY WITH FORD'S SERVICE!

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE SLOWING DOWN (ROLLING WITH MY FOOT FEATHERING THE BRAKE) TO PARK IN A STALL AT MY LOCAL POST OFFICE MY 2008 FORD FUSION INSTANTLY ACCELERATED JUMP THE CURB CROSSED THE SIDEWALK AND HIT THE BUILDING. THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV SPINNING THE FRONT WHEELS UNTIL I SHUT IT OFF WITH THE KEY. I VERIFIED THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKING THE PEDAL AND THE FLOOR MAT IS SECURE AND CLEAR OF THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD MY FOOT FULL HARD ON THE BRAKES AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS HURT.

ABS CONTROL MODULE

WHEN THE ABS IS ENGAGED, BRAKES GO SOFT/ARE LOST. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TO 4 TIMES SO FAR. SO WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATES, I LOSE ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF MY BRAKING CAPABILITY AND HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND FOR IT TO EVEN SLOW DOWN THE CAR. IT DOES NOT EVEN STOP THE CAR, IT JUST SLOWS THE CAR A LITTLE BIT. THE CAR THEN NEEDS TO BE RESTARTED FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OF THIS WAS IN WASHINGTON DC. THE ABS ENGAGED ON A CITY STREET AND THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAILED. THERE WAS NO COLLISION BUT ONLY NARROWLY.
