2006 Ford Fusion structure problems

“I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED NHTSA, REFERENCE # 11119887, I EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME ON JANUARY 21, 2017 BY AL PIEMONTE FORD DEALERSHIP IN ILLINOIS. I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE THAT THE VEHICLE ALREADY HAD AN AIRBAG RECALL ON IT AND THEY SOLD IT TO ME WITHOUT DISCLOSING THIS INFORMATION. THEY LATER SENT ME MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL 16S26 / NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 WE WERE INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, WHERE I WAS TOLD TO GO, THE FORD DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE NOT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. I SHOWED THEM PROOF OF OUR ACCIDENT INCLUDING PICTURES FROM THE INSURANCE SHOWING THE FORD DEALER THAT NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DURING THE ACCIDENT. WE PROVIDED PROOF AND PAPERWORK TO THE FORD DEALER. THEY ONLY REPLACED ONE AIRBAG FOR FREE AND FORCED US TO PAY $536.41 OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE AND WE HAVE A SMALL CHILD. THEY TOLD US THE FACT THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE CAR ACCIDENT IS NOT THERE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO; SO WE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE, WE WE'RE FORCED TO HAVE BOTH AIRBAGS REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 233,000.”

“[XXX] : THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE. THEY HAVE BEEN BREAKING FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW. THE PRICE TO FIX THIS IS GOING TO BE 243.50 AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOT FIX IT AND WILL NOT GIVE A PERCENTAGE OFF. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WAYS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT FIX. OR DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU HAVE A WRECK OR EMERGE IN WATER YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. I THINK YOUR DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED....THEY RECALL THE FORD F150 FOR THE SAME THING, I AM 68 YEARS OLD AND IF I GET INTO A WRECK THEY WILL BE NO WAY FOR ME TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. *TR”
