The contact owned a 2009 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while coming off the interstate approximately 30 - 35 mph when pressing the brakes, when the vehicle failed to stop. The vehicle's brakes floored. The contact ended up crashing into the vehicle in front of them. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed and deemed totaled. The contact received injuries to their lower back, hips and neck area when medical attention was needed. A police report was filed. The contact stated that they had now learned of their vehicle being included in two recalls NHTSA campaign number: 19V904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and 19V001000 (air bags).

In April of last year 2019 I was notified of a airbag recall on my vehicle. I went and got my airbag recall done. Now my airbag light on dash stays on for the pass three days. I took my vehicle back to the same Ford dealers that service my car. My vehicle was in motion with the airbag light still on. The dealer shop is telling me it may not be my airbag and I will have to pay for diagnosis, etc.
Took vehicle to be repaired for previous airbag issues and the light has come back on while driving on a city street in rockport, Texas and never went back off.
Takata recall. Vehicle stationary on January 18, 2019 the passenger air bag inflator was replaced under the 18S01 recall, Ford part number 8E5Z 54044A74 ad. On September 10, 2019 brought car into local quirk Ford dealership for service because air bag cover was no longer was flush to the dashboard. Ford service said problem was due to "worn dashboard" and not covered under recall. See first attached picture. Called Ford customer service on Sept 11, 2019 was told problem was not covered under any recalls or any warranties, case number cas-24226208-S8R0V4. My concern is that by having an open corner (see second attached picture) foreign objects could accidentally fall into this space without the drivers knowledge (ie. A penny, dime, etc) and if the air bag deployed a serious injury could occur. Specifically, foreign objects could become air borne when air bag deployed. A small piece of metal like a penny or dime could cause fatal damage to the passengers in the car if air bag deployed. Not sure if this should be covered under the original takata recall or if another recall should be issued. In any case I believe this is a serious safety issue which should be brought to your attention.

Ford air bag recall. Ford unable to repair in a reasonable time. After years of earning to replace the airbags and noting none were available, I received notice from my state dmv to have the air bags replaced. I called Ford to setup an appointment and they don't have anytime to do the work until 1 October. I consider the years of wait and then requesting an additional 6 weeks notice to make the replacement unreasonable.

Takata recall - after receiving written notices of the recall, I approached my local dealership about the repair (koons falls church Ford). I've called several times about making an appointment and having the part ordered to only be told "they don't have a record of if". I called today, after I was told the part should have arrived a week ago, and was told that they didn't have the part and had no way of knowing when it would come in. And that "given that the company's recently gone out of business" I should expect it to be quite a while. When I mentioned that I was concerned about the safety of my vehicle, I was told that the recall only impacted my passenger side and to not sit there.
