CAR PURCHASED 6/2016 FROM ALEX KARRAS L/M IN BRADENTON, FL. PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS ON RECALL. DEALER SAID WOULD REPAIR AS SOON AS GOT PARTS. I'VE CALLED EVERY 3 MONTHS AND GET SAME STORY. NO PARTS AVAILABLE. TODAY TAKATA ANNOUNCES MORE RECALLS. I DON'T KNOW WHY DEALER WILL NOT PROCESS THIS RECALL. PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE SINCE IT HAS BEEN 19 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF IS DELAMINATING. AND AREA ALONG THE LEFT EDGE OF THE SUNROOF, ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR JUST ABOVE THE DRIVERS HEAD, IS BEGINNING TO DELAMINATE ON THE INTERIOR SURFACE. THERE APPEARS TO BE A THICK FILM OF SOME SORT THAT IS BUBBLING FROM THE EDGE TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE ROOF GLASS. THE CAR GARAGED INDOORS DAY AND NIGHT.

VEHICLE REGISTERS DOOR ADJAR CONSTANTLY. CAUSES DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON EVEN WHILE DRIVING, CAN'T LOCK DOOR, AND BATTERY GOES DEAD. THIS IS AN ISSUE! I SAW THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION BUT APPARENTLY NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. THE PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AND PROGRESSED TO ALWAYS. ONE TIME AFTER THE BATTERY DIED I HAD A FRIEND JUMP IT AND THE CABLES STARTED ON FIRE! UNSURE IF THIS IS RELATED BUT THE 12VOLT PLUG IN THE DASH STOPPED WORKING AND THE HEATER AC HVAC ALSO WENT OUT PREVIOUS TO THIS. WHAT A PAIN...

REGARDING NHTSA RECALL #17V024 PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT, PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE WHEN WILL THIS GET REMEDIED?

I RECENTLY LEASED A FORD MKC. IT CAME EQUIPPED WITH SIDE VIEW MIRRORS THAT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY FOLD IN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO AN OBJECT WHERE YOU COULD GET CLOSER FOR CONVIENENCE. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A CAR WASH AND THE SIDE MIRRORS FORD IN SO THEY DO OT GET DAMAGED DURING THE CAR WASH. IF A PERSON FORGETS TO PRESS THE BOTTON TO HAVE THE MIRRORS SWING BACK OUT SO A PERSON CAN DRIVE SAFELY THAT DOES NOT OCCUR AUTOMATICALLY. IN ESSENSE THOSE MIRRORS ARE CLOSED AND I COULD BE DOING 55 AND NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SIDE MIRRORS IF I FORGOT. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY OPEN BACK UP WHEN THE VEHICLE GETS TO A SPECIFIC SPEED LIKE 20-25 MILES AN HOUR. I HAD A BMW THAT HAD THE SAME O[PTIOON ONLY WHEN IT GOT TO 20 MILES AN HOUR IT AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS WHERE THEY NEEDED TO GO. BIG SAFETY ISSUE
