2012 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

RECCALLI FOR TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAGS SAFETY NOTICE 17SO1/NHTSA RECALL 17S01. NOTIFIED MARCH 2017. HAVE DRIVEN 8000 MILES AND 7 MONTHS. FURTHR DELAY IS INEXCUSABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY (60MPH - 65MPH) CAR SUDDENLY STALLS. NO POWER TO ENGINE, NEED TO LIMP TO SIDE OF FREEWAY (VERY DANGEROUS). CAR SITS, THEN YOU CAN RE-START. SOUNDS LIKE ELECTRONIC THOTTLE BODY (ETB) ISSUE THAT YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF. WHY ARE YOU NOT INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE??? FORD (WESTWAY FORD, IRVING, TX) CANNOT DIAGNOSE. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. CARS STALLING ON FREEWAY ARE A HAZARD TO ALL PARTIES. YOU GUYS NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THE SAFETY OF MY AIRBAGS SINCE MARCH 2017 AND TO THIS DAY IN OCTOBER 2017, THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, THE PARTS NEED TO BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED AND LOCAL DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS

"TAKATA RECALL", DRIVERS AIRBAG TOOK FOREVER TO BE REPLACED. NEXT WE RECEIVE RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. CONTACTED SEVERAL FORD DEALERS FOR INFORMATION ON WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. NONE OF THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS HAVE A CLUE WHEN REPLACEMENT IS COMING, YET THEY KEEP BUILDING NEW FORDS EVERYDAY WITH ALL TYPES OF AIRBAGS INSTALLED. WHY CAN'T THERE BE A FIX FOR THE 2012 FORD MUSTANG GT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG? NOW TAKATA HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. DATES ENTERED ARE NOT EXACT, BUT I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION REQUESTING RECALL ACTION ON MY VEHICLE. WHERE DO I TURN TO NEXT.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE UNDER DRY CONDITIONS AT ABOUT A CONSTANT 30 MPH, THE CAR STARTED PULSING THE FRONT CORNER BRAKES. AT THE SAME TIME, THE VEHICLES TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF. I WAS NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES AT THE TIME. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CAR'S TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM THOUGHT MY TIRES WERE SPINNING, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I STOPPED AND INSPECTED MY FRONT WHEEL AND FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE TIRE OR ITS ALIGNMENT OR FENDER CLEARANCE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE PROBLEM STOPPED. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS THE CAR COULD INADVERTENTLY BRAKE ITSELF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

SHIFT SOLENOID D : VEH IS PART OF RECALL 16S19 AND RECALL 16N02. THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTING STILL AT WITHOUT WARNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS DEVICE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL, AND FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THIS DEFECT ALTHOUGH IT IS CLEARLY A PART OF THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAD ORDERED THESE TRANSMISSIONS FROM A MANUFACTURER IN CHINA, AND THEY'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FROM DAY ONE. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THE MALFUNCTION OCCURS. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME THIS WAY IN FEBRUARY OF 2013, AND AT THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS AN OPEN ECM ISSUE AND WAS NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED WITH. I TOOK THEM AT THEIR WORD AND AM PAYING THE PRICE FOR IT. I HAVE CHECKED MY CAR FAX, AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF THIS AS A PROBLEM. NOW, I AM GETTING A CODE P0769 READ MORE: HTTPS://WWW.ENGINE-CODES.COM/P0769.HTML THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD IS SAYING THEY DO NOT AND ARE NOT GOING TO COVER THIS UNDER THE RECALL NOTIFICATION. AS A FORMER PARAMEDIC, WITH EXPERIENCE WITH COUNTLESS MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS OVER THE YEARS, IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO LIFE, LIMB AND PROPERTY AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ALL CAME ON THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, THE TIRE SENSOR WENT CRAZY , CAR LOST ALL SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD TURNED CAR OFF RESTARTED IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MILES THEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED AGAIN. CALLED FORD AND THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR CHECK WAS TOLD IT IS THE LEADFRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION AND FORD HAS RECALLED OTHER FORD MUSTANG VEHICLES SAME YEAR AS MINE FOR SAME PROBLEM BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ONE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED IN ALL THE CARS
