2008 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

TAKATA RECALL, TO DATE I AM AWAITING PART TWO OF THE RECALL, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, SINCE JULY 2016

TAKATA RECALL-- FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES (SAFETY RECALL NUMBER 15S21/ NHTSA NUMBER 15V319) REGARDING DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAGS. MY DEALER PREFORMED THE RECALL ON THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG BUT FOR 2 YEARS HAS BEEN TELLING ME FORD HAS NOT SENT THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG REPAIR COMPLETED. ON 8/25/17 I CALLED FORD DIRECTLY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. YET THEY CONTINUE TO SEND ME RECALL NOTICES THAT SAY FAILURE TO FIX THE RECALL CAN RESULT " SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." SEEMS LIKE FORD IS NOT MAKING A SERIOUS EFFORT TO FIX THIS KNOWN DANGEROUS CONDITION. ALSO, HOW MANY VEHICLES WILL CHANGE HANDS WHERE THE NEW OWNER WILL NEVER RECEIVE NOTICE OF THE RECALL OR THE DANGERS ARISING FROM FAILURE TO REPAIR THE RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL WHY HAS IT TAKEN ALMOST TEN YEARS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIR BAG IN MY 2008 MUSTANG.

THERE IS A PIN THAT HOOKS ON TO THE MASTER CYLINDER PUSH ROD AND THE PIN CONNECTS TO CLUTCH PEDAL PIN WEARS OUT AND BREAKS AT THAT WELD WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE FUNCTION OF FULLY ENGAGING THE CLUTCH TO FAIL THERE FOR THERE IS NO SHIFTING I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE OTHER DAY AND THIS PARTICULAR PART HAS FAILED MAKING IT HARD FOR ME TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR OR INTO ANY GEAR.

TAKATA RECALL--DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR WAS REPAIRED JULY 2016. IN JUNE 2016 RECEIVED ADDITIONAL RECALL FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE NOTIFICATION. MY VEHICLE IS IN THE PRIORITY DUE TO AGE AND I AM ZONE 1. I CONTACTED THE DEALER IN OCTOBER 2016 AND WAS ADVISED THEY EXPECTED PARTS IN JANUARY 2017. AS OF THIS DATE I HAVE HEARD NOTHING . WE ARE AT RISK FOR LIABILITY IF I CARRY A PASSENGER. IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT RESOLUTION AFTER WAITING A YEAR AND HAVING A PRIORITY VEHICLE.
