2014 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS VEHICLE HAS NO CURRENT SOLUTION TO REPAIR THIS RECALL. THEY WILL NOT OFFER A FREE RENTAL CAR SO I AM STUCK DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE MY PHONE AND ADDRESS AND WONDER WHEN THEY MAY TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED JUST WANT MORE INFO, THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 15V319 RECALL DATE: MAY 27, 2015 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 15S21 RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: WE ARE IN TEXAS, WHERE THE CLIMATE IS VERY HUMID, AND WE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR, YET, REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. FOR HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WAIT AND RISK OUR LIVES EVERY TIME WE GET BEHIND THE WHEEL?! PLEASE SEE BELOW: MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 15S21 SUMMARY: IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES, CONTINUED EXPOSURE TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING TO RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONT AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. SAFETY RISK: AN INFLATOR RUPTURE COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY INJURING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR WITH A NEW ONE, FREE OF CHARGE. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE

ON 8/18/16, I WAS DRIVING ON MARYLAND STATE ROUTE 198, AT ABOUT 40 MPH, WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO LURCH FORWARD, STOP, LURCH FORWARD AS I CAME THROUGH A ROUNDABOUT. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED THE CAR, AND WHILE ON THE SHOULDER, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, AND AGAIN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD TWICE AND THEN STOPPED. WRENCH LIGHT WAS LIT UP ON DASHBOARD (IT WASN'T LIT MOMENTS BEFORE) AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE MANUAL IT SAID THE CAR HAD DEFAULTED TO "LIMP TO HOME" AND I SHOULD SEE THE DEALER. I WAS MORE THAN 40 MILES FROM HOME AND CALLED AAA. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED 10 MINUTES LATER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING 55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 295 S AND WOULD HAVE BEEN IN DANGER BECAUSE THAT ROAD HAS NO SHOULDER. THIS CAR BEHAVIOR MIMICKED WHAT I EXPERIENCED OCT. 6, 2015 (LURCHING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS LOOKING LIKE A DISCO BALL), WHEN THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY (SERVICE DATE OCT. 7, 2015). HOWEVER, THE DEALER IS NOW TELLING ME IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THE CAR SHOWING TFT SENSOR, P0710, P0713 CODE READINGS. THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR REPAIR. ON 11/23/12, THE DEALER REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AFTER I EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE THANKSGIVING DAY WITH ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS LOOKING LIKE A DISCO BALL AND COULD NOT READ THE SPEEDOMETER TO KNOW HOW FAST I WAS DRIVING WHILE IN BALTIMORE ON INTERSTATE 695. THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 61,000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE ALL THREE INCIDENTS REPRESENT SAFETY ISSUES. I DID NOT KNOW YOU COULD FILE A COMPLAINT UNTIL I BEGAN RESEARCHING AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT, AND SO INCLUDE THE THE OTHER TWO IN THIS REPORT.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM FORD OF THE RECALL ON MY AIRBAG IN MAY OF 2015. I LIVE IN ORLANDO FLORIDA, A HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE, WHICH INCREASES THE DANGER OF MY AIRBAG BEING DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHER OCCUPANTS. IT HAS BEEN OVER 15 MONTHS AND FORD IS TELLING ME THERE IS NOT PART FOR REPLACEMENT AND NO TIMELINE WHEN THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CAN BE REPLACED. I FEEL MY LIFE IS IN DANGER EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS CAR.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 15 MONTHS FOR REPAIR. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THERE ARE HIGH TEMPS AND HUMIDITY. I AM SUPPOSED TO HAVE PRIORITY WITH THERE CONDITIONS. I THINK 15 MONTHS IS WAY TOO LONG.

RECEIVED LETTER FROM FORD SAYING THERE WAS A RECAL A MONTH AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2015. WE HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP EVERY WEEK SINCE AND THEY ARE CLAIMING FORD STILL DOESNT HAVE THE PART AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE US A LOANER. THEY TOLD US IF IT DOES ERUPT DONT WORRY BECAUSE THEN WE CAN SUE FORD. I DONT WANT A LAWSUIT I WAS MY CAR FIXED AND TO BE SAFE
