Takata recall___ since 26K miles the front airbag fault indicator has been lit and cannot be cleared. I suspect Ford knows that more that the vins identified previously are in fact faulty. I will not buy another Ford made in Mexico junk. They don't honor thier customers well enough to warrant any further business from me.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. While reversing the vehicle from within the garage, it hesitated and stalled several times. The contact was unable to determine when the failure would recur. The vehicle was taken to the dealer more than twice, but they were unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. In addition, the contact was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V875000 (air bags), but was uncertain as to when the manufacturer would supply the parts to the dealer. The contact was waiting for the manufacturer to determine a solution to prevent the failure. The manufacturer had not yet established a recall nor a service campaign to provide a remedy. The failure mileage was not available. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I got the information stating I had recall for restraints control module. I called Ford to have it replaced and they said that since my light is not currently on they wont replace it until 3Q 2015. Completely unacceptable and a huge safety concern. I wont drive it in fear that it will fail right before a wreck. I drive 35,000+ a year.

1. both the check engine light and airbag light come on (at different times) while the car is being driven. 2. when cranking the engine during starting, the cranking time takes about 4-5 seconds. The extended crank time concerns me with respect to the longevity of the starter and battery wear. 3. the vehicle looses power when driving uphill. What's even more upsetting (considering the very low mileage an the issue happening only 3 weeks into ownership) is the fact I've had the car has been to dealership 4 times and every time I'm told there's nothing wrong with the car. I have pictures taken with my cell phone of the check engine and airbag lights on and I'm still not getting any help or consideration. This is very, very frustrating!!

Very shortly after first adjusting the steering wheel's tilt and telescope (which may be unrelated), during a short drive, many controls attached to the steering wheel stopped functioning. This included turn signals, cruise control, cell phone controls on the steering wheel, radio volume on steering wheel, and information display controls on the steering wheel. Of these, the turn signals are probably most critical to safe operation. Note that the horn, and the windshield wiper/washer, continued functioning properly. The next morning, a sales representative from the dealership found the vehicle in the same condition, but seemingly was able to restore service by "jiggling" the turn signal lever, indicating to me that it was resting very slightly forward of the normal at-rest position, and recommended service department investigate further. Dealer service department found a circuit board faulty. Part has been ordered for installation. In an abundance of caution, concerned that air bag deployment might be impaired were an accident to occur, the dealer provided substitute transportation pending repair.

I am the adult co-owner of 2014 Ford Fusion hybrid. The dashboard airbag light is lit indicating the airbag is off when I occupy the front passenger seat. The service manager at the selling dealership claims the air bag is functioning properly and is designed to work in conjunction with the seat belt. Therefore, Ford is telling me I must learn to live with this hazard. I understand a disabled airbag is intended to protect children. I am not a child! I am the adult, co-owner and co-driver of the car. I weigh 90 lbs and am 5'1'. I am in jeopardy because this car does not offer me the full protection of the current passenger seat belt/ air bag combination. NHTSA warns, in part E of its form request for air bag on-off switch', that the seatbelt operating without the airbag, can allow me to hit the dashboard or the windshield. Ford is aware of this problem because the Ford owner''s manual suggests I sit in the rear seat. I have optimum protection when I drive the car. This 2014 Ford Fusion hybrid denies me, as a small stature adult, full airbag seatbelt protection while offering full airbag seat belt protection to larger adults. This gap in protection increases my risk of injury and is contrary to NHTSA's mission statement of 'preventing injuries'. I am not as safe as I should be in this car. I contacted the dealer immediately regarding this safety issue. The dealership's owner promised me that a Ford engineer would look at the car. To date I have not seen this representative this is an urgent safety matter. I request the NHTSA to direct the Ford Motor Company to fix this airbag safety failure making me as safe as other adult passengers.
