2011 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNATTENDED VEHICLE ROLL-AWAY. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE. A FEW MINUTES LATER, HE HEARD A NOISE AND WHEN HE OPENED THE GARAGE, HE DISCOVERED HIS VEHICLE WAS TIGHT AGAINST THE GARAGE DOOR. WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR TO THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND NOT IN PARK, ALTHOUGH THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. UPON FURTHER EVALUATION, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION IN ANY SHIFTER POSITION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FLOOR SHIFTER. *JB

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON IH35 NORTH AND I ACCIDENTALLY REAR ENDED A VEHICLE TRYING TO GET ON THE EXIT RAMP. THE IMPACT WAS PRETTY MILD BECAUSE NO ONE WAS MOVING FASTER THAN 5-10 MPH. THE DAMAGE ON BOTH VEHICLES WAS MINIMAL AND BARELY NOTICEABLE BUT THE AIRBAG ON MY DRIVER SIDE DID DEPLOY. I HAD BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS PART OF A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE THIS ACCIDENT. I HIGHLY SUSPECT THAT THE AIRBAG MAY HAVE DEPLOYED UNNECESSARILY OR DUE TO SOME FLAW IN THE REPAIR JOB. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND UPON SEEING THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, MOST OF THE SERVICE PEOPLE START TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST TO FIX IT. I HAVE A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM FORD ASSURING ME THAT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS FIXED PROMPTLY AND FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL CAR ACCIDENTS, MUCH MORE SEVEREIMPACTS THAN THIS ONE BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN MY CAR'S AIRBAG DEPLOY, AND THE LETTER I HAVE DOES WARN ME THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY DEPLOY ABNORMALLY.

I WAS RECENTLY IN A WRECK AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY CAR IS STUCK AT THE BODY SHOP BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT GET AN AIRBAG FOR IT. MY INSURANCE ON MY RENTAL CAR WILL BE UP IN 2 WEEKS, THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED ALREADY IT JUST HAD MINOR FRONT END DAMAGE AND THE WINDSHIELD CRACK DUE TO THE AIRBAG AND THE AIRBAG INJURED MY RIGHT ARM. IT NEVER SHOULD DEPLOYED IN THE FIRST PLACE THE IMPACT WAS NOT EVEN THAT SEVERE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY NEVER GET BACK WITH ME THIS IS BEGINNING TO GET VERY FRUSTRATING. MY CAR IS EASILY REPAIRABLE BUT ITS JUST SETTING THERE BECAUSE OF NO AIRBAG. SOME HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CARS POWER JUST CUT OFF AND IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND HAD THE WORST IDLE AT 1100 RPM UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. I THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIMP MODE LIGHT WENT AWAY BUT A FEW MORE MILES UP IT CUT POWER AGAIN AND ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK AS I HAD TO QUICKLY THINK AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES THAT DAY TIL I GOT IT HOME AND GOT THE ENGINE CODE P2111. I FOUND OUT LATER ITS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY THAT THEY USED IN FUSIONS AND OTHER MODELS AND EVERYONE IS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE OF IT RANDOMLY CUTTING OFF. IT'S A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 70 MPH. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR SPEED DROPPED SLOWLY UNTIL IT REACHED ABOUT 20 MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULD NOT PICK SPEED BACK UP. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED OVER. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK IT WOULD NOT REV AT ALL. ONCE THE CAR WAS BACK IN MOTION IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 15MPH. AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE BATTERY RESET THE CAR WAS WORKING LIKE NORMAL FOR A FEW DAYS. ONCE AGAIN DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE OUT OF NOWHERE THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CARS SPEED DECLINED ONCE AGAIN, ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESET IT WORKED FINE. THIS PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING WITH NO WARNING

I CAN BE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT WILL JUST LOSE POWER... I CAN BE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT...I CAN BE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT'LL JUST STOP PULLING... THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POP ON AND A WRENCH LIGHT POPS ON THE DASH....I HAVE TO PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD...I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE.. START IT BACK UP...THE WRENCH SIGNAL IS GONE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON...THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THIS CAR FOR A WHILE NOW...AND I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE... THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND SAID IT WAS THE EIT OR THROTTLE BODY.

TAKATA RECALL: FORD REQUIRES THE CAR 1 WK TO MAKE THE REPAIR AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY RENTAL CAR SUBSTITUTE, SO THE REPAIR CANNOT BE COMPLETED PROPERLY!!
