LETTER FROM SENATOR RISCH ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT REGARDING HER CASE WITH THE FOR TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. *LD *JS

NOTICED THE R/H BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT. WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB AND FOUND THE SOCKET IS BURNED AND CHARD. I REMOVED THE L/H SIGNAL LIGHT AND FOUND THE EXACT SAME SITUATION. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD AND A QUICK ON-LINE SEARCH FOUND MULTIPLE SIMILAR SITUATIONS. A COWORKER OF MINE WITH EXACT SAME VEHICLE HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN.

TAKATA RECALL- I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. I DO NOT WANT TO BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH MY WIFE OR CHILDREN ANYMORE UNTIL I KNOW IT IS FIXED. I HAVE CALLED FORD DEALERS AND THEY SAID IT WON'T BE FIXED FOR SOMETIME AND THERE ARE NO LOANER OR RENTAL CARS AVAILABLE. SO NOW I HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT MY WIFE OR KIDS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN OR KILLED AND FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM ALSO PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL THE WARNING LETTER 12/17 SAID NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK THIS VERY SERIOUSLY AND EVEN RENTED A CAR WHEN THE ENTIRE FAMILY TRAVELED TOGETHER TO AVOID PUTTING SOMEONE IN THAT SEAT. ON JUNE 20, 2018, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR EDGE. SHE WAS HIT BY SOMEONE WHO RAN THE RED LIGHT. THE DRIVER FRONT WHEEL AREA AND BUMPER AREA WERE TAKEN OFF. THE OIL PAN AND WHEEL CHASSIS WERE DAMAGED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS CLAIMED A "TOTAL LOSS." NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON 6/20/2018. I HAD REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR UNDER THE "RECALL NOTICE" ON 6/11/2018 FROM FORD AUTONATION. ON 6/11/2018 AUTONATION SAID THEY COULD ONLY PUT ME IN A FORD150. AS I AM TOO SHORT AND NOT ABLE TO SEE VERY WELL OVER THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS IT HURTS MY HIP TO GET UP IN A TRUCK THAT HIGH. THEREFORE I REQUESTED A CAR SIMILAR TO THE EDGE. AFTER CALLS AND VISITING AUTONATION, THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK AFTER THE ONE CONVERSATION ON 6/11. THEN I CALLED FORD ON 6/18/2018 WHO GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND SENT TO A DIFFERENT AUTO DEALERSHIP. THE RENTAL CAR IS JUST READY FOR PICKUP TODAY.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED FIRST NOTICE JULY 2016- STILL WAITING. I AM IN ZONE B BUT 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. THIA AREA 28722 NC SHOULD BE SAME AS ZONE A, SAME HUMIDITY, AND TEMPERATURES. IT IS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE. I HAVE UNDER 50,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS FORD KNEW OF THE DANGER IN 2005, WHY WERE EVER ALLOWED TO PUT THESE VEHICLES ON THE MARKET? SHAREHOLDERS THAT IS THE REASON AND THE VEHICLE OWNERS BE [XXX]. I MISSED THE WINDOW OF "LEMON LAW" BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ME YEARS SOONER THAN 2016! INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER AT RANDOM SPEEDS QUITS WORKING , LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, WRENCH LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CONSTANT LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN CHANGING GEARS. THE CAR KICKS BACK AS IF TRANSMISSION IS NOT ENGAGING AND HAS LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND WHEELS ROLL AND WHEN RED LIGHT TURNS GREEN, THE CAR TAKES TIME TO ACCELERATE AND WHEELS START ROLLING AND MAKE A LOUD SOUND.I PULL OVER THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD EVERY TIME AND TURN IT OFF, THEN TURN THE VEHICLE ON AGAIN SO IT CAN GO BACK TO NORMAL. USUALLY HAPPENS ON BOTH CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY AT A RANDOM SPEED BETWEEN 45 MPH AND 60 MPH. 114,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ON FEB, 2018 AND TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND ALL OF THEM CLAIMED IT'S EITHER A SPEED SENSOR ISSUE/ TRANSMISSION FAILURE/ ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
