TAKATA RECALL. ON 3/25/15 I HAD MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG REPLACED PER FORD RECALL 14B09. THEN IN JULY OF 2015 I GOT A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THAT THE AIRBAG HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND WAS STILL UNDER RECALL. THE NUMBER OF THIS RECALL IS 15S21 AND FORD WOULD SEND ME A LETTER WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IN FEBRUARY OF 2016 I STILL HAD NOT HEARD FROM FORD SO I CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. AT THE SAME TIME I EMAILED FORD AND THE REPLY WAS TO WAIT FOR PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE. FINALLY ON 5/25/16 I EMAILED FORD AGAIN TRYING TO FIND OUT IF PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED IN THE "VERY NEAR FUTURE" ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF PARTS. AS OF TODAY 6/30/16 I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THE PARTS BEING AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN SINCE MARCH 2015 THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH A POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN MY MUSTANG. APPARENTLY THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG THEY PUT IN ON 3/25/15 MAY ALSO BE DEFECTIVE PER FORD. MY WIFE AND I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I ACTUALLY ASKED FORD IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY DID NOT REALLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I LIVE IN AN AREA OF HIGH HEAT IN PHOENIX AND I AM WONDERING IF OUR LIVES ARE IN DANGER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. APPARENTLY MY VEHICLE IS ON THE PRIORITY TWO LIST FOR GETTING THE AIRBAG REPLACED WHATEVER THAT MEANS. IS THERE ANY WAY TO SPEED THIS UP? THANK YOU. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND A PIECE OF PLASTIC WAS FOUND FRACTURED INTO TWO PARTS ON THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE CLUTCH PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

OVER TIME, THE VEHICLE GAS TANK HAS DEVELOPED A CONDITION WHERE FILLING UP THE TANK PREMATURELY CAUSES THE GAS PUMP TO SHUT OFF PRIOR TO THE TANK BEING FULL OF GAS. TYPICALLY AFTER ONLY A FEW SECONDS. IF YOU TRY TO ENGAGE THE PUMP AGAIN, A BUILDUP OF PRESSURE CAN CAUSE GASOLINE TO SHOOT BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ALL OVER THE GROUND AND THE PERSON PUMPING GAS. THE ONLY WAY AROUND THIS IS TO FILL THE TANK WITH THE NOZZLE UPSIDE DOWN. SOMEHOW THIS DISENGAGES WHATEVER SAFETY MECHANISM THE GAS PUMP HAS, AND ALLOWS THE USER TO PUMP A FULL TANK OF GAS. FORD EVEN HAS A TSB RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. IT STATES SOMETHING TO THE POINT OF A DESIGN FLAW IN THE GAS TANK. IT'S ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE TANK, OR THEY LITERALLY SUGGEST GOING TO A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. SOME PUMPS ARE DIFFERENT AND THAT USED TO WORK, BUT AT THIS POINT THERE IS NOT PUMP THAT I DO NOT ENCOUNTER THIS ISSUE WITH.

HAD THE AIRBAG REPLACED/ WEEKS LATER HAD THE "FAULTY SEAL" PROBLEM FOLLOWED BY THE "SJM " BOX (SMART JUNCTION BOX) DESTROYED BY THE WATER DAMAGE DUE TO FAULTY SEAL. NOW THE SJM IS ON BACKORDER UNTIL AUG. 2016. SEAL ALREADY REPLACED IN MARCH/2016 WHEN ORDER PLACED FOR SJB. RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGAURDING 05-07 MUSTANG MODELS. DUE TO MAKE DESIGN. UNFORTUNATELY, RESULTING IN WINDOW MOTOR FAILURE, BATTERY DRAIN, HEADLIGHTS STUCK ON HIGH BEAMS, TURN SIGNALS STUCK ON, INSTURMENT CLUSTER MALFUNCTION AND DASH LIGHTS FAIL. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR ANY RECALL INFORMATION AND CIVIL SUITE/ CLASS ACTION. THE DANGERS AND THE NUMBERS ARE CLEAR, FORD NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ON THIS MATTER. THE FORD CUSTOMERS DESERVE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR LOSSES AND DAMAGES. ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF INDIVIDUALS WHOM ARE WAITING FOR THE SJM BOX TO BE MANUFACTURED DUE TO SHORTAGE OF MATERIALS.

TAKATA INFLATORS I RECEIVED A LETTER ADVISING MY MUSTANG WAS RECALLED DUE TO AIRBAGS I JUST SPOKE WITH UNIVERSITY FORD IN CHAPEL HILL NC AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WERE REPLACING RECALLED AIRBAG WITH SAME AIRBAG AS A TEMPERARY FIX TO SEND THE REMOVED AIRBAG TO FORD FOR STUDY. THEY WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH ME WHEN A PERMANENT FIX WAS AVAILABLE. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO REPLACE WITH A TEMPORARY FIX. MY OTHER VEHICLE A TOYOTA, AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY DEALER WITH NONE OF THIS RUN AROUND IF THERE IS A RECALL THEN I DESERVE TO HAVE A PERMANENT FIX NOT A TEMPORARY ONE. WHILE FORD IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET MY SON WHO DRIVES THIS CAR IS IN DANGER OF LOSING HIS LIFE. I KEAN THIS IS EITHER A RECALL OR A STALL AND SOUNDS LIKE FORD IS STALLING AT THE COST OF THE LIVES OF PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR CARS. WHY WOULD I REPLACE AN AIRBAG WITH ONE OF THE SAME TYPE WHEN THE REPLACEMENT MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE AND THE ONE THEY TOOK OUT FOR STUDY MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE FINE. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AS THE OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE. TOYOTA DID NOT DO A TEMPORARY FIX, THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED MY NOTICE OF RECALL FOR DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DATED MAY 21, 2015. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE INFORMED WHEN A REPLACEMENT WAS AVAILABLE AND TO JUST WAIT UNTIL THEN TO CALL AGAIN. AS OF APRIL 11 2016 NO WORD FROM FORD OR MY LOCAL DEALER. WHEN I CALL THEM I AM TOLD " WE DON'T KNOW WHEN" THEN SAY MAYBE IN 3 TO SIX MONTHS. THEY ALSO HAVE SAID THAT AS MY CAR IS A FLORIDA CAR IT IS A PRIORITY. 11 MONTHS GONE AND 3 TO 6 MONTHS TO GO FOR A PRIORITY CAR. YOUR SITE SAYS THAT MANY BAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT I CAN'T EVEN GET A GOOD TIME TABLE. HOW CAN I GET THE TRUTH FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY?
TAKATA RECALL - RECALL 15S21 - PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE FOR THIS FIX SINCE JULY 2015. LIVE IN HIGH HUMIDITY AREA - HAVE TWO MUSTANGS THAT NEED THE RECALL FIX DONE AND THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO GET THE PARTS. HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO FIX A CRITICAL ISSUE. RECALL IS USELESS WITHOUT THE AVAILABLE PARTS - THIS IS TOO LONG AFTER A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PARTS TO STILL BE UNAVAILABLE. PLEASE NOTIFY WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR FORD. OTHER AUTO COMPANIES (HONDA) HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE FIX - BUT NOT FORD FOR THE MUSTANGS.

TAKATA RECALL I PURCHASED A USED 2005 FORD MUSTANG FROM TIDELAND FORD IN PAWLEYS ISLAND S.C WHEN I CHECKED ON THE RECALL LIST MY CAR WAS ON THE LIST FOR TAKATA AIRBAG, I WENT TO THE DEALER TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD IT WASN,T THEY CLAIM MY AIRBAG IS OF THEE OLD FORD STYLE NOT THE SAME AS THE NEWER FORDS AND FORD WILL BE REPLACING THE NEWER ONES FIRST AND NOT TO HOLD MY BREATH ON MINE GETTING MINE FIXED IN THE NEAR FUTURE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO OLD STYLE IN INVENTORY. AS ILIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA , WHICH IS THE CLIMATE TO CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO FAIL. NOW I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF TIDELAND AS THEY HAVE BEEN HONEST AND AS HELPFUL AS THEY COULD BUT CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL FORD SUPPLIES THEM WITH THE APPROPRIATE REPLACEMENT. I AM WORRIED EACH TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AS IT IS TEN YEARS OLD, AND PROBABLY ABOUT TO FAIL WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HAVE FORD ALSO SUPPLY THERE DEALERS WITH THE CORRECT PARTS TO FIX MY CAR.

DEFECT IN UNDER COWL DRAINAGE LEADS TO RAINWATER LEAKING INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. WATER DRAINS DOWN WIRING HARNESS INTO THE SMART JUNCTION BOX CASING ELECTRICAL SHORTS THAT AT FIRST CAUSED THE RIGHT HEADLAMP TO SHUTDOWN AFTER 15 SECONDS. RECYCLING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH BRINGS THE HEADLIGHT BACK ON FOR ANOTHER 15 SECONDS. THIS CONDITION RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE FROM SUNSET TO SUNRISE. NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP HAS BEGUN THE SAME PROBLEM. I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER HAS NO PART AVAILABLE TO FIX. THEY INITIALLY INFORMED ME THAT THE SMJ WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE LAST SEPTEMBER. THAT HAS NOW BEEN PUSHED BACK TO FEBRUARY OF 2016. THEY WANT OVER $400 FOR THE PART PLUS ADDITIONAL LABOR TO PROGRAM AND INSTALL A COMPONENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. THIS PROBLEM IS ALREADY COVERED UNDER A TSB AND THE DEFECT CAN CAUSE A MULTITUDE OF MALFUNCTIONS THAT COULD EASILY RESULT IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS. I JUST RECENTLY CHECKED AND FOUND OVER 286 REPORTS ON FILE WITH NHTSA, YET NO APPARENT INVESTIGATIONS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED, NOR A RECALL. IT IS MY SINCER HOPE THAT NHTSA IS NOT WAITING FOR A BODY COUNT BEFORE TAKING ACTION.

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.
