Consumer Description
THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. I TOOK IT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT WAS CRUSHED , SUPPOSEDLY BY AN EMPTY JELLY JAR THAT WAS UNDER NEATH THE SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE THE JELLY JAR AND ITS NOT EVEN BROKEN . FORD CLAIMS ITS MY FAULT AND TO GET IN TOUCH WITHMY INSURANCE COMPANY WHICH I HAVE BUT SINCE THE LIGHT (AIRBAG ) LIGHT HAS COME ON, MY SEAT DOESN'T WORK DOES NOT MOVE BACK OR FORWARD AND THE LIGHT THAT TELLS IF IF THE SEAT BELT IS FASTENED DOESN'T WORK. I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY BUT IM WONDERING IF MORE FUSION OWNERS THAN JUST ME HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS AND IF THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE WIRING HARNESS RATHER THAN THE JELLY JAR WHICH IS UNBROKEN. I AM A 72 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND ALTHOUGH IM SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHT , I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MY WEIGHT AND THE JELLY JAR COULD DISABLE THE WHOLE CASE. IT DOESN'T LOOK CRUSHED BUT I'M TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC TOMORROW AND HAVING HIM TAKE THE SEAT OUT AND LOOK AT THE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A WEEK AGO.
