TAKATA RECALL - WHEN THE DRIVER AIRBAG WAS RECALLED, I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED INFORMATION REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND WHETHER A SIMILAR REPLACEMENT WOULD BE REQUIRED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I LATER CAME TO FIND OUT A NOTICE OF THE PROBLEM HAD ALREADY BEEN POSTED AND THE DEALER HAD MISREPRESENTED THE FACTS. MY CAR HAS SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR OVER A YEAR. WHEN FORD IS QUESTIONED, THEY SUGGEST NHTSA HAS DEEMED IT SAFE TO CONTINUING DRIVING. I SUGGEST THAT FORD SHOULD ASSUME THE LIABILITY SHOULD I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, FORD CONTINUES TO IDENTIFY NHTSA AS BEING THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY.

THROTTLE CONTROL TRANSMISSION LIGHT/ ILLUMINATES WHEN A POWERTRAIN FAULT IS DETECTED. IF THE LIGHT REMAINS ON OR CONTINUES TO COME ON CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR SERVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
