Bought salvaged fusion hybrid, airbags deployed?

Recommended Posts

I purchased a hybrid with 20k miles and a salvage/rebuilt title just over a year ago. At the time, I asked the guy if the airbags had been deployed and he told me no (I didnt believe him, but I didnt not believe him either). I kind of figured that a person may be able to lie about something like that as there is really no recourse for me if he does. I knew I was taking a risk by buying it either way.

 

So tonight I was going to pop the hood and I noticed this thing that says "Airbag" on it just under the drivers side console. It obviously appears that it was deployed and then stuffed back into the case. Could someone please take of picture on their car of this so I can see what it looks like from the factory? I may go to Ford and have them replace the airbags depending on how much it costs.

 

I attached a picture of the airbag.

It looks to me like it was deployed and stuffed back in. I have a picture for you but my IPad has no option to attach the photo at least I can not figure it out. In my picture you can see the air bag but it is much more neatly packed and your tabs see to have been broken.

How has the car been since you got it together?

I actually purchased the car already rebuilt. It has been great so far. I actually noticed that the rubber boots on both CV joints (ball joints) were ripped, and the drivers side is now going bad so I will get them replaced soon.

 

 

Other than that, it has been great and I really love the car.
