2008 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

TAKATA RECALL 13 MONTHS TO REPAIR DRIVERS SIDE, HAD TO DRIVE TO FLORIDA TO EFFECT THAT REPAIR. PASSENGER SIDE OVER 90 DAYS, NO RESPONSE, NO REPAIR. WILL I HAVE TO DRIVE TO FLORIDA AGAIN IF I WANT THIS FIXED BEFORE ANOTHER YEAR HAS PASSED?

THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY COMPLETELY WENT OUT AND AT THE SAME TIME THE BRAKING SYSTEM WENT OUT. THE CLUTCH COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED INTO THE DASH. I WAS IN THE MOTION OF MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE EXHAUST PIPE HAS CRACKED AND MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ALMOST $1400. IT SEEMS A PART SO EXPENSIVE SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 75000 MILES, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY WHAT THE CAR HAS ON IT NOW. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY IT WOULD HAVE CRACKED, BUT A COUPLE OF MUFFLER SHOPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN MANY FORD CATALYTIC CONVERTERS CRACK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS (DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR. IT WOULD GO INTO "LIMP MODE" AND ONLY PROCEED AT IDLE SPEEDS. HAPPENED SPORATICALLY AT SEVERAL TIMES INCLUDING DANGEROUSLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2015 FOR THE AIR BAG AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS RIDICULES AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED NOW. HAROLD FORD IN SACRAMENTO NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM.
