2008 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL ADDRESSED. EACH TIME I CALL, I'M TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. WHEN WILL THE PARTS BE AVAILABLE?

TAKATA RECALL NOTIFIED JULY 2016 BUT EACH TIME I CALL DEALER THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE REPLACEMENT PART FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL - WE HAVE HAD THIS RECALL SINCE JUNE 2016. TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CONTACT SEVERAL DEALERS AND HAVE CALLED FORD. I AM TOLD THERE IS NO PART TO CORRECT SITUATION AT THIS TIME! TAKATA IS OUT OF BUSINESS AND THAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE PART THEMSELVES TO CORRECT. NO END IN SIGHT! THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT AT THIS POINT BUT WE WOULD LIKE OUR RECALL CORRECTED! IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 18 MONTHS!

TAKATA RECALL: #16S26. NOTICE OF RECALL RECEIVED IN JULY 2016. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2017. ISN'T 1 1/2 YEARS LONG ENOUGH TO BE SUBJECTED TO A POSSIBLE FATAL SITUATION? THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ACTION INVOLVING MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL : I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT FOR THE REPLACEMENT FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR (SAFETY RECALL 16S26 / NHTSA RECAL 16V-384).

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN THE GAS PEDAL STUCK AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I TRIED TO STOMP ON THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. TRIED TO TURN THE KEY, BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO TURN. FINALLY STOMPED REPEATEDLY ON THE GAS PEDAL UNTIL IT RELEASED AND STOPPED ACCELERATING. THERE WAS NOTHING UNDER THE PEDAL CAUSING IT TO HANG. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT IN THE WAY. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD NARROWLY MISSED HAVING AN ACCIDENT. HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE I GOT IT HOME.
