2008 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (PAUL HEURING FORD IN HOBART, IN, 219-942-3673) AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL--MY DEALER SAYS THE INFLATORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.....IT'S BEEN YEARS!!! AND I AM TILL WAITING.....THIS IS RIDICULES. THE FORD DEALER CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE PART.

TAJATA RECALL. FORD NOTIFIED ME IN JULY 2016 THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACE. TO DATE, OCTOBER 30, 2017, THEY CAN NOT EFFECT THE REPAIR. I CALLED A DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WILL NOT BE FOR SOME TIME. I CANNOT USE THE CAR WITHOUT UNDUE STRESS.

TAKADA RECALL THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED OVER A YEAR AGO AND NOW I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THE PASSENGER SIDE REPLACED. NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE.

TAKATA RECALL. RECALL DATED JUNE 1, 2016/NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16S26. HOW LONG SHALL I WAIT FOR A REMEDY ANDCAN OR SHOULD THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS BE DISABLED IN THE MEANTIME?

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER ON TWO TIME AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR ACTION TO BE TAKER TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016 NOTIFYING ME OF THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MIKE PATTON FORD IN LAGRANGE GA. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR ON 08/22/2016. THEY SAID THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN IT WAS. I HAVE CHECKED BACK SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT STILL WAS NOT IN STOCK. STILL WAITING. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE AS I DON'T WANT TO POSSIBLY INJURE SOMEONE RIDING WITH ME.

I HAVE WRITTEN TO FORD FOUR TIMES ASKING FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE TAKATA INFLATOR IN OUR MUSTANG, BEGINNING IN EARLY 2016. I HAVE RECEIVE FOUR FORM RESPONSES TELLING ME THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ISSUE "IS IMPORTANT TO YOU", THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE (THEY NOTICEABLY OMITTED THE WORD 'SAFELY') AND THAT "THE VOLUME AND SCOPE OF THE INDUSTRY-WIDE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS HAVE CREATED UNIQUE REPLACEMENT PARTS CHALLENGES". I GET IT, BUT IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS. I DIDN'T BUY AN AIR BAG INFLATOR FROM TAKATA, I BOUGHT A MUSTANG FROM FORD. FORD SHOULD BE GOING TO ALTERNATIVE PROVIDERS FOR THIS PART. THEY ARE, CLEARLY, PUTTING THEIR INTERESTS AND PROFITS BEFORE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I'M NOT OKAY WITH THIS. IN FACT I'M OUTRAGED BY IT. I'VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM FORD'S "CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES". I'D LIKE MY CAR FIXED SO IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. PERIOD. OR, THEY CAN REPAY ME MY $35,000. I'LL USE IT TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO OPERATE.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY DATED JUNE 1 2016. 16+ MONTHS LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL FROM FORD. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS BEING ADDRESSED IN A "TIMELY MANNER"

TAKATA RECALL - THE FORD DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR THE PAST YEAR AND MAY NEVER BE AVAILABLE. (DEALERSHIP IS CLINTON FAMILY FORD IN ROCK HILL, SC). NEVER BEING ABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE IS NOT WHAT THE PUBLIC IS BEING TOLD.
