2014 Ford Mustang Air Bags

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE RECALL FOR MY AIRBAGS IN MY FORD MUSTANG, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF SOMEONE TO SCHEDULE WHEN WE CAN GET THEM REPLACED AND FIXED. WE HAVE LEFT VOICEMAILS TO HAVE THEM CALL US BACK BUT HAVE FAILED TO DO SO. THIS HAS TAKEN WAY TO LONG FOR MY AIR BAGS TO BE REPLACED THAN IT SHOULD HAVE.

I PURCHASED THIS 2014 MUSTANG 11/15/2018, AFTER DOING THE PAPERWORK AND BEFORE I TOOK DELIVERY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD IT'S A SENSOR IN DRIVERS SEAT AND WOULD BE A COUPLE DAYS. THEN AFTER THAT I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED TO GO INTO A FORD DEALER TO BE FIXED ON 11/28/2018. ON THIS DATE I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDS A HARNESS FOR THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG AND THAT NO DEALER HAS THE PART AND FORD HASN'T MANUFACTURED ANY. AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS I WAS ABLE TO GET A RENTAL, NOW I'M AFRAID THAT I'M NOT GOING TO GET MY CAR THAT IS REGISTERED AND INSURED AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THRU A FORD DEALER KNOWN BY MY FAMILY THAT IT'S BACKORDERED UNTIL 3/4/2019. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I'M GOING TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR I OWN BUT CAN'T DRIVE AND I'M WORRIED THE RENTAL WILL GET PULLED FROM ME WHEN THEY FIND OUT HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO FIX MY CAR. BIG ISSUE IS THERE IS NOT ANOTHER MUSTANG LIKE IT FOR SALE ANYWHERE!!

I WAS TOLD MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS WHEN I WAS THINKING OF PURCHASING. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AS SOON AS THE PARTS CAME IN. THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO. EVERY TIME I GO TO HAVE MAINTENANCE DONE I ASK ABOUT THIS RECALL AND WHEN CAN I EXPECT IT TO BE DONE....HOPEFULLY BEFORE IT KILLS ME!!! I LIVE IN ALPHARETTA, GA AND THE TRAFFIC IS AS BAD AS EVERYONE SAYS. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I WOULD HATE THAT MY DEATH OCCURRED BECAUSE FORD DIDN'T REPLACE FAULTY PARTS.

TAKATA RECALL - ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE, "IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES, CONTINUED EXPOSURE TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING TO RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONT AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY." ... SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED ON 05/27/2015 AND THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER (2 YEARS NEXT MONTH)! MY WIFE AND I ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR SON DRIVING THIS VEHICLE (AGE 18). THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE BECAUSE WE LIVE IN THE HOUSTON AREA AND THERE IS A HIGH LEVEL OF HUMIDITY HERE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. I WANT FORD TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP!

I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE SINCE I DISCOVERED THE RECALL IN AUGUST OF 2015 AT FORDS RECOMMENDATION. I HAVE SUFFERED EXTREME FINANCIAL LOSS. I ASKED FORD TO ASSIST WITH A TRADE IN ONLY FOR THEM TO CHARGE NEGATIVE EQUITY AND TRY AND CAPITALIZE ON THE SITUATION. THEY HAVE MADE PROMISES WHICH HAVE COME AND GONE, THE LATEST PROMISED REPAIR BY 4TH QUARTER OF 2016. PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER COMPENSATION FOR MY LOSS OR MAKE THEM REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO FOR HELP.

" TAKATA RECALL '

TAKATA RECALL ON AIRBAGS. EACH TIME I HAVE CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP, I'VE BEEN TOLD THE AIRBAGS ARE ON BACKORDER AND MY CAR AIRBAGS CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE RECALL DATE WAS MAY 27, 2015 - TWO YEARS AGO! MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE MARCH 2017 AND CALLED TO SET UP AN APPOINTED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED AND TO DATE I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE DEALERSHIP. 10-26-2017. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES AND ONE SAID THEY HAD LOST MY INFORMATION AND I GAVE IT TO THEM AGAIN. I ALSO CALLED FORD. I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING SINCE.

TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE ASKED MY DEALERSHIP OVER AND OVER TO FIX THIS RECALL AND I GET THE SAME ANSWER THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE PLACING IN NEW CARS

TAKATA RECALL - IN MAY 2015, MY CLIENT RECEIVED A NHTSA RECALL 15V319 FOR THE AIRBAG AND BROUGHT HER VEHICLE TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL NOTICE. AT THAT TIME, SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WASN'T AVAILABLE AND THEY DID NOT HAVE A TIME AS TO WHEN IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. ON AUGUST 22, 2016, MY CLIENT WAS DRIVING HER 2014 FORD MUSTANG WHEN SHE REAR-ENDED A VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND CAUSED PAINFUL LACERATIONS, ABRASIONS AND BURNS RELATED TO THE INFLATOR'S EXPLODING METAL FRAGMENTS. MY CLIENT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND HER VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP DID NOT OFFER HER ALTERNATE VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION. SHE HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND CONTINUE PAYING ON THE MUSTANG ENDURING 2 CAR PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE. HER VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN MARCH, 2017.

TAKATA RECALL- FORD TAKING TO LONG TO REPLACE. 18 MONTHS SO FAR. I BELIEVE FORD'S EMPHASIS IS ON NEW CAR SALES AND THEY ARE DIVERTING "SAFER INFLATORS" TO NEW CAR PRODUCTION AHEAD OF REPAIRS. I FURTHER BELIEVE NHTSA IS HELPING FORD AND OTHER AUTOMAKERS GET AWAY WITH "CHOOSING" AN UNREALISTIC OPTION THAT ONLY HURTS CONSUMERS AND BENEFITS MANUFACTURERS LIKE FORD. FOR 18 MONTHS - I'VE SUFFERED LOSS OF USE AND LOSS OF VALUE AND I BLAME NHTSA FOR NOT ACTING QUICKER AND ALLOWING FORD TO GET AWAY WITH THIS FOR AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN WHICH ANOTHER DRIVER DID AN ILLEGAL UTURN IN FRONT OF ME AND I T-BONED THEM. THE BULK OF THE DAMAGE WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH SUCH INTENSITY THAT IT BROKE MY ARM AND DISLOCATED MY ELBOW. I ACCUMULATED OF $160K IN MEDICAL BILLS THAT I ULTIMATELY HAD TO REIMBURSE MY HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY BECAUSE THE OTHER DRIVERS INSURANCE WAS MINIMAL. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE UNTIL MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I LIVE IN THE SOUTH WHERE THE HUMIDITY IS GREAT AND ACCORDING TO THE CLASS ACTION IT CAUSED THEM TO DEPLOY WITH GREAT PRESSURE. I CONTACTED THE CLASS ACTION PEOPLE AND THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND IT CLEARLY IS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

I'VE HAD SEVERAL RECALL MAILINGS TO TELL ME THAT AN AIRBAG IS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE, ITS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR, AND WHEN I CALL THE DEALER, HE SAYS THEY HAVE NO PARTS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY I KEEP GETTING THE NOTICE TO TAKE IT IN THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - WHEN I LOOKED UP THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE I READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT -"IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA." I AM NOTIFYING YOU NOW TO COMPLAIN THAT THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, NOW 2 YEARS INTO THE RECALL. WHEN WILL IT BE RESOLVED AND WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT IT?

I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT, AS THIS VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL, #15V319, ON 5-27-15 AND THE REPAIR IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. AS OF 1-4-17, PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED TO LOCAL DEALERS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED THE PARTS NECESSARY TO EFFECT THIS REPAIR BY THIS TIME, AS OVER 1 1/2 YEARS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED. IT IS UNSETTLING TO KNOW THAT THIS DEFECT EXISTS AS WE MUST STILL USE THE CAR ON A DAILY BASIS.

WHAT IS HOLDING UP PARTS TO REPAIR AIRBAGS ON MY MUSTANG?? WORRYSOME TO DRIVE A CAR DUE REPAIRS ESSENTIAL TO OUR/MY SAFETY, AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: I JUST PURCHASED THIS MUSTANG FROM A MOSES DEALERSHIP IN TOWN, THEY DID NOT MAKE ME AWARE OF THE RECALL. WHEN I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPT FOR ASSISTANCE, THEY STATED THAT FORD WILL NOT LET THEM ORDER THE REPLACEMENT PART, THAT FORD ONLY SENDS A LIMITED NUMBER OF THE PART TO DEALERS AND WILL NOT TELL THEM HOW MANY THEY WILL RECEIVE OR WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THEM. THEY ADDED ME TO THEIR WAITING LIST. THIS RECALL COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND I'M JUST SUPPOSE TO DRIVE MY CAR LIKE THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT? PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW I SHOULD PROCEED. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2015, ONE WOULD THINK A DEALERSHIP WOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE THAT PART BEFORE SELLING THE VEHICLE TO SOMEONE.
