What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion hybrid. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at 25 MPH, another vehicle struck the vehicle's rear driver's side. The driver's side air bag failed to deploy. The driver was unsure of her injuries and suffered mild chest pain. The driver did not seek immediate medical attention but mentioned doing so in the future. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a police station. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer or mechanic.
Takata recall. I just bought a used car only to find out it is under this dangerous and possibly deadly recall. Ford says parts are not available to fix it, and they have no estimate of when they will be. After watching the NHTSA video on the takata problem, this is clearly an unacceptable answer, especially since we bought and older car and live in a hot, humid climate!! I don't want my family members to be at risk of metal parts flying out of the airbag in the event of a crash!
