2008 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

WAS NOTIFIED TWO YEARS AGO THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS UNDER RECALL. FORD SAYS THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY NOT. IS THE PASSENGER NOT SAFE?

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION ABOUT A RECALL REGARDING MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. SHORTLY AFTER, I RECEIVED ANOTHER ONE STATING THAT MY PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THE NOTIFICATION STATED THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, IT CAN RESULT IN THE DEATH OF THE PASSENGER. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN NOTIFIED AND THEY HAVE YET TO INFORM ME THAT THEY CAN MAKE THE REPAIR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (AUTONATION FORD LINCOLN UNION CITY, 4355 JONESBORO RD, UNION CITY, GA 30291, (770) 674-6075) WAS UNABLE TO VERIFY WHEN THE REMEDY AND PARTS WOULD BE SUPPLIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" BEEN TRYING TO HAVE FIXED SINCE 2016, BEING TOLD NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE IN PASSENGER SIDE. FORD DEALER SUUPOSEDLY DID INTERIM REPAIR ON DRIVER SIDE. CENTER CAP ON STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN LOSE, SHAKES AND RATTLES UPON ACCELERATION. AIRBAGS ARE DEADLY. WILL NOT DRIVE CAR. FORS HAS NO PERMANENT FIX. CONTACTED FORD, DEPT. OF JUSTICE, ATTY GENERAL OFFICE, AND WELLS FARGO WHO I HAVE CAR LOAN WITH. ONLY RECVD 1 RESPONSE FROM FORD, SENT THEM THE REQUESTED INFO, WAS PROMISED A RENTAL AND SINCE HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. HAVE BEEN DEQLING WITH WELLS FARGO BECUZ I OWE $9000 ON LOAN, PROMISED TO HELP, WAITED THEN SAID IT WAS MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT WONT REFINANCE CAR OR HELP IN ANY WAY. THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE A DEADLY VEHICLE, CONTINUE TO PAY FOR IT AND NOT ALLOW ANYONE IN PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE ISNT FIXED EITHER! GETTING HELP FROM NO O E. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. PEOPLE ARE DYING AND GETTING HURT AND FORD AND TAKATA COULD CARE LESS! I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTS AND EMAILS!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD MUSTANG. WHEN THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER INFORMED HER THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALLS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER (SUNSET FORD, 11700 GRAVOIS RD, SAINT LOUIS, MO 63127) ASKED THE CONTACT IF SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THEIR LOT. WHEN THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SHE HAD NOT, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WOULD NOT BE UNTIL JULY OF 2018. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE INDEPENDENT DEALER THAT THE REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE FOR ONE OF THE RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS) AND VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS).

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A REPAIR ON MY PASSENGER SIDE FOR ABOUT 3-4 YEARS. THE DEALER IN DUMAS, TX REPAIRED THE DRIVER SIDE BUT SAYS THEY HAVENT GOTTEN THE PART IN FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE AND SOMEBODY IS DROPPING THE BALL. I WANT MY MUSTANG REPAIRED SO I CAN DRIVE IT. I DO NOT DRIVE IT AS I ALWAYS HAVE PASSENGERS (GRANDKIDS) AND THE WARNING I GOT SAID NOT TO LET PEOPLE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT SEAT. THEREFORE I DO NOT DRIVE MY MUSTANG. IT HAS BEEN PARKED ALMOST 3-4 YEARS NOW. WHAT A SHAME! THE DATES I AM USING IN THIS FORM ARE ABOUT ...I AM NOT SURE WHEN IT WAS RECALLED AT FIRST!!!! I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED A NOTICE TO GET THIS FIXED AS THE COMPANY HAS CLAIMED CHAPTER 11. HOW CAN I WHEN THE DEALER CANT GET THE PART?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED MAC HAIK FORD AT (512) 930-3673 (LOCATED AT 7201 INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 35, GEORGETOWN, TX 78626) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH 2017 TELLING ME THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO WAIT FOR FURTHER WORD FROM FORD WHEN I COULD HAVE THIS DONE -- SO FAR, AFTER 10 MONTHS, I HAVE STILL NOT HEARD ANYTHING.

TAKATA RECALL - FORD HAS SENT A LETTER STATING THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT MAY NOT BE USED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THIS LETTER AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A DISINGENUOUS ATTEMPT TO SHIFT THEIR LIABILITY TO THE OWNER ESPECIALLY AS THEIR WEBSITE AS OF TODAY IS IN CONFLICT WITH THE LETTER STATING, 'YOUR VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY A TAKATA AIRBAGS RECALL. PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE, BUT YOUR VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE IN THE MEANTIME.' THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN IN PLAY FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND INVOLVES A THREAT OF 'SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH' TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I REQUIRE A STRAIGHTFORWARD, CLEAR RESPONSE. PLEASE SEE MY LETTER TO FORD ATTACHED. THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED BY LETTER FROM FORD ON JULY 2015 REGARDING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 15S21/ NHTSA RECALL 15V-319. IT HAS BEEN 2.5 YEARS AND THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I CONTINUE TO ASK EACH TIME I BRING MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT FORD AND THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS.
