The yellow air bag light remains on constantly, indicating that there is an air bag malfunction. I believe there was an airbag recall on this vehicle, but I don't remember since I had five cars at one time.

My passenger side airbag indicator came up with no warning and wouldn't shut off. The car will not pass inspection without this being addressed. The dealer is telling me they have to replace the airbag on passenger side for $1900. I was not involved in a crash, the light just came on and wouldn't go off.

Transmission is slipping really bad. It stalls while driving and trying to accelerate. It also shifts out really rough. The electrical system stays on even when the car is off I've already replaced refurbished transmission and the wheel bearing. I feel very unsafe and don't allow my kids to ride in car for not knowing what could happen. Even while car is idling there a loud knock

I rear-ended a 2002 Dodge Ram. A guy was mad that I blew at him because he slept the previous traffic light and slammed on brakes at a green turning arrow and I hit him, he kept going. My whole front end is damaged. Air bags should've come out.

I have numerous complaints/recallson this vehicle. Everything from the transmission, to the radiator, coolant, steering wheel colmn, and now the air bag sensor is lit as 'on'. I believe this is not a takata recall, however it is, what I believe just another recall waiting to happen. When the car is a lemon, why should I be charged to have anything diagnosed to see the 'cause' of any problem?

I've had my vehicle since October 2015, my vehicle takes to long to stop while driving. The distance between car can be far but car still won't stop. I have had 2 accidents in this vehicle because of this. It's like the car is glides and you have to put excessive force on brake to get vehicle to stop. You can also be completely stopped at a light and the car will lightly glide but to the point U don't notice the car is moving. The 1st accident the airbag deployed I wasn't even doing 2 mph. I was sitting in traffic with foot on brake and car glided. Miles at time was less than 50,000.

My ABS, power steering, traction control, rear view assist, airbag light all went off at the same time. I live in Michigan, so there is salt on the road during the winter. It seems there is a Ford recall 15S14 that seems to address this but the dealership refused to fix stating that there is no recall for my Fusion. This is a safety issue as the loss of power steering is extremely dangerous in the winter. I am concerned for my safety. I am disturbed at Ford and the dealerships response to this safety issue.

Driving steady state on normal state highway road surface in dry daylight conditions, the vehicle began chiming and displaying a long sequence of error messages and mils. After a few seconds, speedometer zeroed and cluster lost power. Center stack then lost power. The vehicle had no exterior lights, no horn. Vehicle "believes" ignition is off, therefore no airbags. After pulling over and a key off/ key on, vehicle was normal for a couple minutes, then repeated this problem. Vehicle has been to 2 different dealers for this intermittent issue. First issue was with vehicle under warranty and dealer found no problem other than long list of codes. 2nd dealer in Dec 2018 performed repair detailed on tsb to wrap chaffed wire. Problem occurred again Jan 23 and 26, 2019. Additionally today vehicle will not start.
