2007 Ford Mustang Air Bags

I RECEIVED A RECALL REMINDER REGARDING RECALL 08C02 IN MAY OF 2008 FOR # AND I HAVE NEVER OWNED THIS CAR, SO I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FORWARD TO CURRENT OWNER. JANUARY 2009 I RECEIVED AN URGENT RECALL NOTICE 08C02 FOR SAME # FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THEY COULD HELP TO GET THIS NOTICE TO THE CORRECT OWNER, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CONTACTED FORD AND THEN I WAS TOLD THERE ISN'T ANYTHING FORD CAN DO. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE CURRENT OWNER ISN'T AWARE OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THAT CAR AND NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE. I'M HOPING YOU CAN HELP. THANK YOU *TR

MY WIFE AND HER FRIEND WERE DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD IN OUR 2007 FORD MUSTANG AND WRECKED INTO A POWER POLL TOTALING THE CAR. THE FRONT FRAME WAS BROKE IN HALF AND THE AIRBAGS STILL DID NOT DEPLOY LUCKILY THEY WERE NOT INJURED BAD FORD JUST TOLD ME THAT IS THE WAY THEY ARE DESIGNED TO WORK. I THOUGHT THAT IF IN A FRONTAL COLLISION THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN AND COLLIDED INTO THE FRONT AND SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UNTIL SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER THE CRASH. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V082000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL) SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THE CRASH OCCURRED. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO HER PHONE CALLS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 3,800.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE FRONTAL AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN A 13 YEAR OLD WEIGHING 115 POUNDS IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALER SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FLASHING LIGHT WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE VIN AND DEALER INFORMATION WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING DOWN THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY ON THE MORNING OF 11/3/07 WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE (SIDE) AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY SCARED BY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BUT MANAGED TO STAY IN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND AVOID CRASHING. WE BROUGHT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE SHE PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALER DEALT WITH FORD WITH REGARD TO THE INCIDENT AND ON THURSDAY 11/8/07 I GOT A CALL FROM THE DEALER SAYING THAT FORD DETERMINED THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS CAUSED BY A STONE KICKING UP OFF THE ROAD AND HITTING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR. MY CONCERN IS FOR MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY AND NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH FORDS EXPLANATION ON THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. FORD HAS NOT OFFERED ANY OTHER EXPLANATIONS OR TAKEN ANY ACTIONS THAT WOULD MAKE ME COMFORTABLE IN KNOWING THAT THIS WOULD NOT COULD NOT OCCUR AGAIN. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT COLLISION. THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WAS EXTENSIVE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS RESTRAINED SOLELY BE THE SEAT BELT. *TR
