TAKATA RECALL - MY DASHBOARD AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK IT TO ONE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED ON MY OWN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE LIGHT HAD TO DO WITH THE RECALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND I GET ANOTHER LETTER FROM FORD THAT IT IS TIME TO HAVE IT FIXED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO. THANK YOU.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V024000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (CREST FORD FLAT ROCK, INC, 22675 GIBRALTAR RD, FLAT ROCK, MI 48134) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY WINTER NORTHERN ILLINOIS ROAD, STEPPED ON BRAKES WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. ABS KICKED IN (SEEMED TO BE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL), THEN BRAKE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND COULD NOT STOP, ALMOST HIT THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. BRAKE PETAL REMAINED VERY SOFT AND EASILY WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. AFTER THAT, IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I AM CONVINCED AN ABS VALVE STUCK, SO I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET A FIX / PART. TO MY SURPRISE, DEALER SAID FORD DOES NOT SUPPLY THE PART AND CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH A NEW PART. SO, I HAVE NO SOLUTION. IF I GET A PART FROM THE JUNK YARD, IT WILL LIKELY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN TIME. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM TO THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, AND FORD OFFERS NO SOLUTION. ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS DEACTIVATE THE ABS. AT LEAST I WILL HAVE SOME BRAKES IN EMERGENCY RATHER THAN NO BRAKES.
TAKATA RECALL --- I RECEIVED A LETTER IN REGARDS TO THIS RECALL MARCH,2017. IT IS APPROACHING ONE YEAR AND STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY UPDATES IN REGARDS TO REPAIRING THIS ISSUE. HOW MUCH LONGER DOES A CONSUMER HAVE TO WAIT? JUST READ THAT THEY ARE ISSUING MORE VEHICLE RECALLS REGARDING THIS.
TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG BECAUSE IT HAD A SAVAGE TITLE. THE CAR WAS IN A WRECK IN PENNSYLVANIA. IT HAD DRIVER'S SIDE DAMAGE AND WAS REPAIRED. I AM TOLD THAT WHEN THERE IS AN ACCIDENT IN PENNSYLVANIA, THEY ALWAYS PUT SALVAGE ON THE TITLE. DOES FORD NEED TO REPLACE?

TAKATA RECALL, PIECE OF DASH HAS POPPED UP
TAKATA RECALL. NUMEROUS DELAYS BY THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN SECURING A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL HAVE LEFT ME WITH A CAR OF LIMITED USE. REPAIR PARTS FOR PRIORITY GROUP 6 WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE LATE 3RD QUARTER 2017, BUT THE 5TH AMENDMENT TO THE CRO DELAYED THIS TO LATE 1ST QUARTER 2018. ADDING TO THIS, FORD NOTIFIED THE NHTSA IN NOVEMBER 2017 THAT FURTHER DELAYS WILL BE REQUIRED. AT THE CURRENT TIME IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN FORD WILL HAVE A PERMANENT FIX READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION. FORD'S LETTER IN DECEMBER 2017 NOW INDICATES IT IS UNSAFE FOR OCCUPANTS TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, MAKING THE CAR ONLY PARTLY USABLE. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO ME THAT FORD IS RESOLVING THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY FASHION, AND NOW MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THE CAR IS QUESTIONABLE. DUE TO THE MULTIPLE DELAYS, FORD SHOULD ALLOW OWNERS TO REQUEST A TEMPORARY, LIKE-FOR-LIKE REPLACEMENT AT NO COST TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FAILURE UNTIL THE PERMANENT FIX IS AVAILABLE. THIS WOULD ALSO RESTORE FULL FUNCTIONALITY OF THE VEHICLE BY PERMITTING USE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS TEMPORARY FIX WOULD BE IDEAL FOR MY SITUATION AND I FEEL FORD AND THE NHTSA SHOULD PERMIT THESE REPAIRS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION WITH THIS MATTER.
WHEN DRIVING AND THE CAR HAS AN ABS BRAKING EVENT DUE TO A SUDDEN STOP OR SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS THE PEDAL WOULD DROP TO THE FLOOR AS IF THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTED PRESSURE WOULD RETURN. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 OCCURRENCES OF THE ISSUE, RESTING THE VEHICLE NO LONGER FIXED THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE WHO DIAGNOSED THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAD FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND HAS NOT RETURNED AFTER SUBSEQUENT ABS BRAKING EVENTS.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING FOR OVER TWO YEARS ABOUT MY AIR BAGS TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING, IS A MATTER OF FACT THE AIRBAG LOOKS LIKE IT READY TO EXPLODE AND THEY STILL DON'T CARE. I AM VERY UPSET
AWAITING REPAIRS ON A TAKATA AIRBAG FOR YEARS. THE ISSUE WAS IDENTIFIED IN 2012, A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2016, AND PARTS ARE CLAIMED TO BE UNAVAILABLE AS OF 1/11/2018. THE DEALER SAYS CALL THE MANUFACTURE HOTLINE, THE MANUFACTURER HOTLINE SAYS THEY'LL REPAIR WHEN THEY HAVE PARTS, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MULTIPLE YEARS. THE NHTSA STATE THE SEATING POSITION SHOULD NOT BE USED. FINE, THEN COMP THE TCO FOR PRIMARY SEATING POSITION. I FEEL LIKE THE NHTSA AND THE MANUFACTURE ARE SIMPLY COLLUDING TO DELAY REPAIRS UNTIL THESE VEHICLES ARE NO LONGER IN SERVICE.
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD BE LIFE THREATENING TO ME AND OTHERS. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS MY BRAKES WILL NOT WORK. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE ROAD IS WET OR HAS SNOW ON IT. A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS HAS HAPPENED WHICH APPARENTLY DEPENDS HOW SLIPPERY THE ROAD IS. WHEN BRAKING SOMETIMES THERE WILL BE A ODD NOISE WHICH I THINK IS THE SAFETY BRAKING FEATURE, BUT EVEN THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK CORRECT. THE WORST IS THIS. AGAIN, WHEN SLICK OR SLIPPERY ROADS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE I HAVE LOST ALL BRAKING. THE BRAKE PEDEL GOES COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. ON A FEW OCCASIONS THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO STOP BEFORE A STOP SIGN AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED GOING AT A SPEED OF 10 TO 55 MPH. TWICE THIS HAPPENED WHERE THE STOP SIGN WAS AT A ROAD THAT WAS 55 MPH. YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION ? FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE DEATHS BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN ? THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE BLEAD. THEY SEEMED TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM....AGAIN, WHY AND THE HELL IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT ? NEXT I AM GOING TO WRITE MY STATE REPRESENTATIVE OR SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. I BELIEVE I WROTE TO YOU BEFORE, BUT LOST THE PAPERWORK THAT CAME. BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE NOTHING WAS BEING DONE ABOUT IT ANYWAY. OH, AND

BRAKES - ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREET I FIND I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR THE CAR TO FULLY STOP AND I HAVE BEEN IN MANY CLOSE CALL FENDER BENDERS. ELECTRICAL - THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING IN ROUTE TO WORK ,SO I ASSUMED THE BULB BLEW OUT. HOWEVER, WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN THE TURN SIGNAL STARTED WORKING AGAIN. FOR THE TWO WEEKS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHICH MADE ME VERY NERVOUS WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. AS OF NOW THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS WORKING AGAIN WITH NO INTERMITTENCE AND I DON'T KNOW IF/WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL OR SOMETHING ELSE WILL STOP WORKING OUT OF THE BLUE OR WHY THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. TRUNK LEAKAGE - THE TIRE WELL IN THE TRUNK AS WELL AS THE SPARE TIRE AREA WAS FULL OF WATER AND NOT SURE WHERE THE LEAKAGE IS COMING FROM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR 9 YEARS AND DON'T RECALL WATER IN THAT AREA. AT THIS POINT I DON'T PLACE ITEMS IN THE TRUNK FOR FEAR OF IT GETTING WET ON A HEAVY RAIN DAYS HERE IN FLORIDA. VENTS - I HAD TO REMOVE THE DEFROST VENT ABOVE THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE LINING THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE IS BENT AND WARPED A/C - CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION, I HAVE HAD THE AIR SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WHEN WORKING IT'S GREAT BUT THEN THE AIR BECOMES LESS COOL AND GOES COMPLETELY HOT. THIS IS TORTURE DURING THE SUMMER.

THE SHIFTING KNOB AND THE LINK ROD TO THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT PREVENTING THE SHIFT LEVER FROM CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION GEARS AS DESIRED. I FOUND IF I PUSH THE UNIT BACK IN THE HOLE AND HOLD A DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE KNOB IT WILL OPERATE. HOWEVER IF YOU TOUCH THE KNOB WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT INTO LOW RANGE CAUSING A JERK TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS PERTINENTLY BAD ON SNOW COVERED SURFACES. I FOUND THERE IS A RECALL ON 2017 FUSION FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM THE RECALL NUMBER IS 17S36. SAYING THIS SITUATION MAY RESOLVE IN A INJURY OR AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED FORD RECALL AT I-800-392-3673 AND WAS TOLD I HAVE NO CLAIM FOR REPAIR AND THE RECALL IS FOR THE 2017 ONLY. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER? I WOULD THINK SAFETY FIRST SHOULD PREVAIL. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
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.
