2014 Ford Fusion Airbags Problems

Your airbag warning light came on while driving. The dealer found that your front driver's side seat belt and its retractor (the mechanism that pulls the belt back) had failed. You were told both parts need to be replaced, but the repair hasn't been completed yet because the parts are on order. The issue showed up at around 92,500 miles.

The airbag light stays on, even though it has never been deployed. The dealership cannot determine why the airbag light stays on. My last vehicle inspection was on 07/11/2024, at Schicker Ford of St. Louis.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the sternum of the steering wheel where the front driver's side air bag was located was popping out, and the front driver's side air bag was visible and seemed to be partially deployed. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to the take the vehicle to their location for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under Ford Campaign Number: 19K02. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

Airbag sensor is on. Took to mechanic and the wire that runs thru latch has broken apart. Need to replace latch as well as wiring

The contact leased a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 16V875000 (Air Bags) and 18V167000 (Steering) and 22V413000 (Power Train) would like to be removed from the recall distribution list as he no longer has a lease on the vehicle. The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted.

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.

CAR HAS A DOOR LATCH RECALL AS WELL

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.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION AND SUFFERED NUMEROUS INJURIES BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. (I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT). I JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR DISLODGED AND WAS LYING ON THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH SUNLAND FORD (15330 PALMDALE RD, VICTORVILLE, CA 92392, (760) 241-7751). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V597000 (AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS) AND 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR AIR BAGS JUST DON'T DEPLOY DUE TO THE SEAT BELT RECALL I'M GUESSING

TAKATA RECALL. I JUST RECEIVED THE NOTICE IN THE MAIL.

STARTED CAR AND NOTICED WARNING LIGHTS FOR ABS, AIRBAG AND STABILITY CONTROL ILLUMINATED ALSO NOTED SYSTEM CHECK WARNINGS FOR SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, CHECK REAR PARK AIR AND HILL START NOT AVAILABLE. AS I DROVE CAR I NOTICED POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AS IT SHOULD, TURNING VEHICLE REQUIRED MORE EFFORT AND STEERING WAS STIFF. WHEN COMING TO A STOP I NOTED THE BRAKES SEEMED TO LOCK.

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED SINCE ONE WEEK AGO SUNDAY. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. IN THE PAST YEAR, THE 12 VOLT BATTERY HAS DIED TWICE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED ALL THE LIGHTS WENT ON THE DASH AND IT DID NOT HAVE AS MUCH POWER. (CAR STILL STARTED) POWER STEERING SEEMED INHIBITED. THE 2ND TIME IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SYNC SYSTEM. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR HAS A SHORT OR WHAT. FORD DEALERS ARE INUNDATED WITH WORK AND DON'T HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT THE CAR.

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 INFLATORS" MY 2014 FORD FUSION HAS HAD A RECALL ON THIS FROM NOVEMBER 30, 2016 AND ITS NOW NOVEMBER 5, 2017. THIS IS STILL NOT CORRECTED BY AUTO FAIR FORD AND FOR SURE THIS IS NOT IN A TIMELY FASHION, RIGHT? SO I WANT TO FILE A CLAIM. JUST BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN INJURED OR WORSE, DOESN'T MEAN THAT SOMETHING WON'T GO WRONG IN THE FUTURE, AM I RIGHT? THANK YOU, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE NOV 2016. THE STATUS ON THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V597000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SPUN AROUND AND THE FRONT END WAS STRUCK BY A SECOND VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE TAIL BONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

ON 4/29/2014 THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT RECEPTACLE BROKE WHEN TRYING TO LATCH SEAT BELT. TODAY, 6/26/2014, THE PASSENGER REAR SEAT BELT RECEPTACLE BROKE. THESE ARE FORD'S NEW SEAT BELTS WITH AIRBAGS IN THEM. THE RECEPTACLES SEEM TO BE CHEAPLY MADE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 6 WEEKS TO GET THE FIRST ONE REPLACED BECAUSE FORD SAYS THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER. *TR

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. *TR
