Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have 2019 Ford Fusion with only 6400 miles. Airbag light came on and took the car to dealership and they denied to cover airbag module replacement under warranty. Airbag module was bad and dealership denied to cover because I had small dent damaged on the quarter panel when I bought it. Car drives fine but has airbag light on due to bad module from the manufacture.”
