THE BOLT ON OUR 2014 MUSTANG'S STEERING COLUMN (INSIDE BY THE FIRE WALL) CAME LOOSE AND FELL OUT CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SPIN FREELY. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR COULD COAST INTO A PARKING SPACE AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE THEY ARE REPLACING THE BOLT.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT I HAVEN'T OWNED OR LEASED THIS VEHICLE FOR 5 YEARS. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO REQUEST THAT THEY REDIRECT THE RECALL NOTICE TO THE CURRENT OWNER BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO SO. PART OF THE EXCUSE I WAS GIVEN WAS THAT FORD DOESN'T SEND OUT THE NOTICES, THEY SUBCONTRACT THIS TO ANOTHER ENTITY. I DON'T KNOW WHO THE CURRENT OWNER IS. I WAS THE ORIGINAL LESSEE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN I WAS AN EMPLOYEE OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THIS WAS PART OF THE MANAGEMENT LEASE VEHICLE PROGRAM. ALL REGISTRATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS HANDLED BY THEM, FOR THIS AND ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES THAT I LEASED FROM THEM AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM. THIS VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO FORD AT THE END OF THE LEASE AND THEY THEN DISPOSITIONED IT, EITHER THROUGH RESALE OR OTHER RESULT. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT FORD KNOWINGLY IS NOT INFORMING THE CORRECT OWNER/LESSEE OF THIS VEHICLE OF THE CURRENT TAKATA RECALLS. I REGRET THAT I HAVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST FORD MOTOR COMPANY, AS A FORMER EMPLOYEE WHO RESPECTS THE COMPANY AND ITS PRODUCTS, BUT MY INTENT IS TO ENSURE THAT THE CURRENT OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IS NOTIFIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE. NOTE: THE CARD THAT I RECEIVED WITH NOTICE OF THIS RECALL SAYS "DON'T PRESS YOUR LUCK!"

WATER CLOGGED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF FORD MUSTANG 2014 CONVERTIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN FRONT OF HOME ALONG THE CURB FOR 15-20 DAYS AND ITS RAINY SEASON IN CALIFORNIA. A PUDDLE IS FORMED ON THE LEFT SIDE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. CAR WAS PARKED DOWNHILL SO WATER ACCUMULATED IN THE FRONT. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WATER WHICH GETS ACCUMULATED OVERTIME IN THE LEFT/DRIVER DOOR IN SOME MODELS OF MUSTANG. OVERTIME, IT CROSSES THRESHOLD AND STARTS LEAKING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IDEALLY, WATER SHOULD BE DRAINED AUTOMATICALLY. BUT TO REMOVE WATER FROM DOOR YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE BLACK PLUG AT BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. AND NO WAY TO REMOVE WATER FROM INSIDE OF THE CAR. IT POTENTIALLY CAUSES SERIOUS DAMAGE TO INTERNALS OF CAR AND MOLDS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PEOPLE FACING THIS ISSUE AND ITS COMMON IN SOME MUSTANGS. IT'S CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. HTTPS://MUSTANGFORUMS.COM/FORUM/3-7L-V6-TECHNICAL-DISCUSSIONS/696287-WATER-SLOSHING-AROUND-INSIDE-DRIVER-S-DOOR.HTML

TAMARA RECALL, THE TRACTION LIGHT COME ON AND OFF THE POWER STEERING FAILURE LIGHT COME ON AND MAKES A SCREECHING NOISE, AND THE POWER STEERING GETS EXTREMELY STIFF IN TURNS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO LOCK UP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES. ALL THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON A CITY STREET WHEN TURNING. IT'S THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING/ RACK AND PINION. THERE ARE A LOT OF POST ON YOUTUBE AS WELL.

I PURCHASED A CAR A MONTH AGO, RIGHT AFTER I FILLED ALL PAPERWORK OUT AND WAS TO TAKE DELIVERY THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF. THEY SENT CAR TO A FORD DEALER 2 WEEKS LATER AND SAID THE PART NEEDED IS ON BACKORDER UNTIL 12/14. (I AM MAKING PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE ON CAR) THEY GAVE ME A PART NUMBER OF DR3Z1HA005HC AND CARMAX IS TELLING ME NOW THE FORD DEALER IS GIVING THEM A HARD TIME. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS PART THRU FORD AND THERE ISN'T ONE. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A DRIVERS SEAT AIRBAG HARNESS THAT HAS SENSORS ON IT. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO AS A CONSUMER? I WANT THIS CAR! I NEED THIS CAR! I'M PAYING FOR THIS CAR! EVERYONE IS BEING UNHELPFUL!
