Took my car on to check why seat belt light was on after bag replaced. Told there is a sensor under passenger seat that reflects weight in seat that is not working that is used in case accident airbag pressure would be deployed. Light will not turn off on dash and told me out of warranty is not on repair list… I have 2007 fusion that I can’t sell because of safety light. Who is responsible for that. Service at dealer said sorry can’t help me.. it would be 400.00??? R u kidding .

After getting the Ford Airbag recall work fixed on my teenage son's vehicle, the airbag dashboard light came on (a few weeks later). Upon taking it to the dealer, they told me the car needed a new battery. I agreed to have it replaced, despite NOT having any previous battery issues. After the battery was replaced, the airbag light was still coming on. After a diagnostic, it was discovered the passenger side sensor needs repaired (over $1,000 cost to complete this work). This is absolutely ridiculous, had NO PROBLEMS until Ford replaced my airbags. I was further told not replacing this sensor means NO AIRBAGS will deploy if in an accident. Now the SAFETY of my son is in YOUR HANDS FORD!!! If nothing is wrong with the airbags themselves, just a faulty passenger sensor....the driver airbag should still work!! THIS IS UNBELIEVALBE!! All this after waiting for over THREE HOURS at the dealer!!!

KAYSER FORD IN MADISON, WI WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE REPLACED DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR PROPERLY REPLACING, PER THE SAFETY RECALL, AS TIM DOUGLAS BOASTED THAT "THEY HAVE OVER 47 AIRBAGS" IN BACK AND THIS IS NOT HOW THE RECALL SHOULD WORK. THE PART NEEDS TO BE ORDERED PER THE VIN AND RECEIVED AND PUT IN, NOT SOME RANDOM SPARE EXTRA PARTS IN BACK, PUT IN THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT KNOWING HOW LONG THEY HAVE BEEN SITTING THERE. FURTHER, THIS FORD REPLACED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND PULLED ON THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, CAUSING A BADLY TENTED EDGE, THAT COULD OBSTRUCT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT OR TEAR THE BAG IF IT IS DEPLOYED, AND AFFECT THE ANGLE AND TRAJECTORY OF THE DEPLOYMENT. THIS FORD DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. WHEN WE HAD IT TOWED FOR OTHER REPAIRS INCLUDING THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG, THEY NOT ONLY DID NOT PERFORM THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, BUT THEY CAUSED HARM TO OUR CAR: DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER, FAILED TO REFILL FLUIDS CORRECTLY, INCLUDING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND POWER STEERING FLUID AND DID NOT REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS. THE NEW SERPENTINE BELT IS LOOSE AND MAKES A NOISE. THEY ALSO DROVE OUR CAR OVER 30 MILES, WITHOUT OUR AUTHORIZATION AND THEN LIED ON THE INVOICE CLAIMING THAT OUR CAR CAME IN AND LEFT AT THE SAME MILEAGE. FURTHER, THEY LEFT OUR CAR ON A TOW TRUCK WITH THE J HOOK HANGING FROM THE SUSPENSION AND UNDER TENSION, ALL NIGHT.
