I BOUGHT MY MUSTANG FROM NAPLETON'S IN ARLINGTON HEIGHTS,IL. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME A CAR FAX BECAUSE THEY WERE RUNNING LOW ON PAPER. I JUST RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL FROM 2016 ABOUT AIRBAG. I'M NOT SURE IF WHAT THE CARFAX IS ON MY CAR BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME TO GET ONE OFF THE INTERNET NOT KNOWING I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THERE WAS NO DISCLOSURE THAT THIS MUSTANG HAD A RECALL THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. I NEED HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. YOU CAN LOOK AT YELP AND READ ABOUT NAPLETON'S IN ARLINGTON HEIGHTS IL ON DUNDEE THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ADVISING TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE IS SIT IN THE FIRST ROW PASSENGER SEAT CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. WHAT GOOD IS A CAR IF YOU CANT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT?

TAKATA RECALL - THIS RECALL WAS INITIATED ON JUNE 1, 2016 WHICH IS NOW WELL OVER A YEAR AGO. WE HAVE TRIED THAT ENTIRE TIME TO HAVE THIS FIXED, BUT THE DEALERS TELL US THE PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. SINCE THIS CAUSES DEATH, I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH DRIVING THIS CAR AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND KILLING SOMEONE NEEDLESSLY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE RECALL DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR IT WHEN OTHER CARS HAVE A SAFE DEPLOLYMENT. WHY CAN'T THE TAKATA RECALL REPLACE THE CURRENT AIRBAG WITH ONE THAT IS INSTALLED ON OTHER MAKES AND MODELS TO ENSURE A SAFE DRIVE? THIS RECALL SHOULD BE A PRIORITY!

TAKATA RECALL --I RECEIVED A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL ON MY 2008 FORD MUSTANG IN JULY 2016. SO FAR NO RESPONSE. HOW MUSH LONGER DO HAVE TO WAIT. MY WIFE HAS SURVIVED 2 BOUTS OF CANCER. SHE WILL NOT RIDE IN IT.. THE LAST THING SHE WANTS TO DO IS GET INJURED OR KILLED BY A DEFECTED AIRBAG AFTER ALL SHE HAS GONE THRU.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE EVENING WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL,MY MUSTANG THROTTLE FOR UNKNOWN REASONS THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK ON THE FLOOR AND REMAINED WIDE OPEN FOR APPROXAIMATELY 1.5 MIILES BEFORE I WA ABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLESA, WITHOUT INJURIES OR DEATH TO MYSELF AND THE PUBLIC. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THIS VEHICLE TONITE WITH MY SON DRIVING . HE STATED THE THROTTLE/ACCELERATOR HAD STUCK WIDE OPENWITH THE ACCELERATOR ON THE FLOOR. AS HE WAS UNABLE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF . THIS SEEMS TO BE A LARGE ISSUE WITYH FORD VEHICLES ONLY TO FIND NO RECALLS BUT WITH ONE MAKE THE ESCAPE. THE VEHICLE IS A DANGER TO PUBLIC SAFETY ABROAD FOR YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THIDS WILL HAPPEN. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND AM GRATEFUL BY BLOWING THE HORN AND THE ABILITY TO THINK QUICK NO ONE WAS KILLEDB. MY VEHICLE IS BEING TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALER IN THE AM TO COORECT AN ISSUE FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TOO ADDRESS . AFTER RESEARCHING COMPLAINTS THEREARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH NO RESULTS.

I WAS NOTIFIED IN WRITING THAT THE RIGHT FRONTAL AIRBAG HAD BEEN RECALLED AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN TO FIX IT. THE LEFT FRONTAL AIRBAG WHICH HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY RECALLED WAS FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER TWICE SINCE NOTIFICATION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS NEVER CAME IN AND PROBABLY WOULD NOT. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A MUSTANG WITH A POTENTIAL BOMB IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER'S SEAT, WITH NO WAY TO FIX IT OR EVEN TO TURN IT OFF.
