Consumer Description

I AM THE ORIGINAL BUYER OF A 2008 FORD FUSION SE - WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2008 - IT NOW APPEARS THAT THERE IS A BULGING NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AREA ON MY CAR'S DASHBOARD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SINCE THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. FORD REFUSES TO FIX SINCE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I LOOKED ON LINE AT IT APPEARS MANY OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BULGING DASHBOARD. I AM AFRAID THIS COULD LEAD TO A DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. FORD WILL HAVE DASHBOARD FIXED FOR OVER $1,200.00 AT MY COST. HOW IS THIS FAIR THAT I MUST PAY FOR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THE FORD CORPORATION CREATED. CAN YOU ASSIST IN ANY MANNER. *TR
