TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO SEVERAL FORD DEALERSHIPS TO GET AN UPDATE ON THE AIRBAG RECALL. THE STORY REMAINS THE SAME. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION YET TO THE PROBLEM. I FIND THIS TO BE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN THE FACT THE THERE ARE OTHER MUSTANGS PRODUCED SINCE THIS CAR HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED THAT DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURES (IE. HONDA/ACURA) HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE AIRBAGS ARE ARE AGGRESSIVELY SEEKING OUT OWNERS TO HAVE THE BAGS REPLACED AND EVEN SUGGESTING THAT SOME CARS NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL REPAIRED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT FORD IS DOING ENOUGH TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE QUICKLY.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY ONE DAY AND AS I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS GOING OVER 60MPH MY HOOD BEGAN TO SHAKE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AND THIS STARTED DOING THIS OUT OF THE BLUE. I PULLED OVER TO MAKE SURE ALL THE SCREWS WERE INTACT AND MADE SURE EVERYTHING UNDERNEATH MY CAR WAS INTACT AS WELL. I DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. MY HOOD SHAKES ANYTIME I GO OVER 60MPH, AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 4 MONTHS NOW. I TOOK MY CAR INTO A BODY SHOP AND THEY TEST DROVE AND WAS UNSURE OF THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS. HOOD SHAKES (VIBRATES) WHEN I DRIVE OVER 60MPH.
