2008 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

I HAVE BEEN GETTING NOTICES FOR SEVERAL YEARS ABOUT MY AIRBAGS. ONLY HAVE ONE AVAILABLE. THEY SEEM TO NEVER GET THE OTHER ONE. I ONLY WANT TO TAKE MY CAR IN ONCE AND GET BOTH REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE 2 MUSTANGS FROM THE SAME YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING MY FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM WITH THE BULLITT PACKAGE AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE HOOD SUDDENLY OPENED AND WAS CAUGHT BY THE SAFETY LATCH. I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO JARRETT-GORDON FORD WINTER HAVEN AND THEY ADJUSTED THE HOOD LATCH. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND I HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF THE HOOD OPENING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN WHICH THE SAFETY LATCH PREVENTED A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AGAIN TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER - JARRETT-GORDON FORD WINTER HAVEN AND THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM. THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND NO FURTHER INCIDENTS OCCURRED.
