TAKATA RECALL - GOT A LETTER FROM FORD BACK 5 TO 7 YEARS AGO STATING THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS / NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I'VE BEEN WRITING LETTER AFTER LETTER TO FORD CORP EVERY SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR AND CONTACTING MY HOME DEALERSHIP, GOSCH FORD IN HEMET, CA TRYING TO GET THEM TO REPLACE THIS BAG. THE LAST LETTER I GOT FROM FORD CROP WAS DATED 12/17 WITH AN SRN #16S26 / NHTSAS RECALL 16V-384 STATING THAT IT WAS NOW 'MY RESPONSIBILITY' AND DO NOT LET ANYONE SIT THERE...AND WILL LET ME KNOW WHEN 'PARTS ARE AVAILABLE'. REALLY - HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET A "REPLACEMENT BAG"? THIS IS RIDICULOUS. CAN YOU HELP? WE THEIR CLIENTS NEED ACCOUNTABILITY. NOW. DON'T PUT THE BLAME ON US. FORD - GET THE PARTS. I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU ALL THE LETTERS THAT I'VE SENT OR YOU CAN CONTACT RON/SERVICE MANAGER AT GOSCH/HEMET... I'VE TALK TO HIM SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS PROBLEM/ISSUE AND HE BLAMES IT ON FORD CORP. NOT GETTING HIM/THEM PARTS/AIRBAGS AND MANY CUSTOMERS ARE WAITING FOR THEM.

THE REPAIR IS NOT AVAILABLE AND HASN'T BEEN FOR A VERY LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THE RANGER PICKUP DRIVERS ARE TOLD TO COME ON DOWN FOR REPAIRS BUT OUR CAR STILL DOES NOT HAVE AVAILABLE PARTS.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE PARKING OF A BUSY SHOPPING CENTER WHEN UNEXPECTEDLY SHE WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON HER. SHE ALMOST CRASHED BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE CAR AS SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN. RECEIVED TWO ERRORS (1) SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND (2) SERVICE ADVANCEDTRAC. FROM WHAT I'M RESEARCHING IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2011 MODEL BUT THE 2010 EVEN THOUGH THESE ARE THE SAME COMPONENTS...? CAR HAS 76K MILES.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE AND I LOOKED IT UP WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND IT SAID I HAD A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I'M UPLOADING THE NOTICE

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT A STEADY 30 MPH AND HIT THE BRAKES ON LIGHT ICE WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED FOR ABOUT ONE-HALF SECOND, AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, WITH ONLY THE MOST MINIMAL BRAKING OCCURRING IN THE VERY LAST INCH OF PEDAL TRAVEL. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO CROSS TRAFFIC ENTERING THE INTERSECTION AT THE TIME AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LINCOLN DEALER WHO SAID THE ABS MODULE HAD FAILED, AS HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER. AT NO POINT DURING THE EVENT, OR AFTERWARD, DID ANY BRAKE LIGHT COME ON AND NO WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD TEXTUAL DISPLAY, DESPITE THE CAR HAVING VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES. THE CAR WAS IN THE DEALER REPAIR SHOP FOR FIVE DAYS AND I WAS CHARGED $1,686.66. AT NO POINT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE DID THE BRAKES EXHIBIT ANY ISSUES WHAT-SO-EVER. IT WAS A SUDDEN AND FULL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PRIOR WARNING AND NO DASHBOARD INDICATORS OF BRAKE FAILURE AFTERWARD.

'TAKATA RECALL' RECEIVED LETTER FROM FORD ADVISING NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. REMEDY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABILE AT THIS TIME. RECALL 16S26.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN. I HAD A FLAT TIRE. NOW THE "SERVICE THE ADVANCE TRACK" AND THE "SERVICE THE POWER STEERING" WARNING MESSAGE WILL NOT TURN OFF AND THE CAR NO LONGER HAS POWER STEERING. THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE ON THE 2011 MILAN. THE 2010 HAS THE IDENTICAL PART. WHY IS THE DEFECT A RECALL ON THE 2011 MILAN AND NOT ON THE 2010? IT IS THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART.
