Working in and around the auto industry. I get it. But I want my car fixed. It was involved in a minor accident and I flipped out about the air bags. When is Ford going to let the owners know something. Loyal Mustang owner


5/23/2016 - Larry Keffer
It's been a year now and my Mustang still hasn't been called in to be repaired. I've only been told about the recall. So I've been driving a potentially deadly car, if involved in an accident, for a year and this length of time is unacceptable.

Do you drive a 2012 FORD MUSTANG?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
