IVE INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED NOTHING WRONG.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MANY MONTHS AGO, AND HAVE STILL RECEIVED NO UPDATES FROM FORD. NOR HAS THE STATUS CHANGED ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE REGARDING GETTING THE PROBLEM RESOLVED.

TAKATA FRONTAL AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL NOTICE 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V384 DATES JULY 2016. I HAVE CONTACTED FERMAN FORD IN CLEARWATER, FL., PH #727-793-6234 SEVERAL TIMES AND LAST CONTACT WITH SERVICE MANAGER, DENNIS ADVISED PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WAS NOT A PRIORITY.

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED FORD TAKATA SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON JULY 21, 2016, WHICH EXPLAINED WHY OUR PASSENGER DASH WAS CRACKED AND BULGING. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED LOCAL FORD DEALER. HE SAID HE DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND WE WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS CAME IN. WE HAVE CONTACTED DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE THE DASH IS STILL BULGING WHERE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS LOCATED. WHAT REALLY CONCERNED US WAS THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE IN THE NOTICE: "A RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." CONSEQUENTLY WE HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE THE FUSION AND SO IT JUST SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY.
THE ABS GOES OFF WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN IT SHOULD NOT BE, SUCH AS ON DRY PAYMENT, MAKING BREAKING DISTANCES LONGER. THE EVENT OCCURS MOSTLY AT SPEEDS BELOW 45 MPH AND HAS BEEN PRIMARILY OBSERVED IN LOCAL TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT SEEMS TO BE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL, SUCH AS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT HAND TURN. THERE ARE NO ABS WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH, BREAKS ARE NEWER ALONG WITH TIRES.
"TAKATA RECALL" ON JULY 2016 I RECEIVED A NOTICE REGARDING NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 AND AT THAT TIME I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN DAYTONA BEACH, FL. AND THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE AND THAT I'LL GET A NOTICE IN THE MAIL WHEN THEY ARE READY. FAST FORWARD 10 MONTHS LATER (MAY 1ST 2017) AND I STILL GOT THE SAME RESPONSE WITH NO TIME TABLE AS TO WHEN THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE WILL GET ADDRESSED. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT LIT ON THE CONSOLE AND FEEL THAT I'M DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE SHOULD I GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD ASK IF NHTSA CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THE DAYTONA BEACH, FL DEALERSHIPS TO HELP SPEED UP THE RECALL. THANK YOU!

TAKATA RECALL; RECALL WAS ISSUED JUNE 1 OF 2016. IT IS NOW APRIL 17, 2017, AND THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC WAS CAUGHT UP IN THE SAME RECALL, AND IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED/REPLACED. I AM NOW EXPECTING MY FIRST CHILD, AND I FEEL UNSAFE PUTTING AN INFANT IN THIS CAR, DUE TO THE POTENTIAL HAZARD. FURTHER, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN HUMID/CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS. I LIVE ON THE GULF COAST AND IT IS QUITE HUMID HERE. THIS HAS DRUG ON FAR, FAR TOO LONG.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL. THE LETTER STATED THAT I WOULD RECEIVE NOTICE WHEN THERE WAS A REMEDY AVAILABLE. AS OF 4/5/17, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THIS LETTER AND THE FORD SAFETY RECALL SITE STATES THAT THERE IS NOT YET A REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE HAVING PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I LIVE IN AN EXTREMELY HOT AND HUMID ENVIRONMENT IN ARKANSAS AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. AN UNEXPECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, OR FAILURE TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BOTH ANY PASSENGERS AND AS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. I FIND FORD'S EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE FORCE FORD'S HAND IN FIXING THIS RECALL AND EXPEDITING THE REMEDY PROCESS.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
