2008 Ford Mustang complaints

TAMARA RECALL - I GOT A RECALL NOTICE MID 2016. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE REPLACEMENTS. IN THE NEXT 9 MONTHS, I SERVICED MY CAR TWICE AND WAS TOLD BOTH TIMES THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS, AND I'D GET A LETTER WHEN THEY DID. IT'S NOVEMBER 2017 AND I'VE RECEIVED NO LETTER.

MY DEALER, SUNSHINE FORD, IS NOT ABLE TO GET THE PART, HOW MUCH LONGER WILL I BE FORCED TO WAIT FOR THIS PART?

"TAKATA RECALL ", SAFETY RECALL 15S21 WAS COMPLETED ON 08/09/16, DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG, AT THE TIME I WAS ADVISED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE, TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN SO ADVISED. PRESENTLY SAFETY RECALL 16S26 IS STILL ACTIVE AND I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT TAKATA HAS FILED CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY!

TAKATA RECALL. I AM UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY FORD IS ALLOWED TO TAKE THIS MUCH TIME TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE AIR BAG IN MY 2008 FORD MUSTANG. THEY ARE STILL BEING ALLOWED TO SELL NEW VEHICLES AND TO SELL REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS FOR VEHICLES INVOLVE IN ACCIDENTS. WHERE IS THE CONSUMER PROTECTION IN THIS? I THINK THE CONCERN FOR THE CONSUMER IN THIS WHOLE FIASCO HAS BEEN A JOKE'

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A LETTER FOR A FACTORY RECALL FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OVER A YEAR AGO. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SHIP TWICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR FORD TO CONTACT ME WITH A SECOND LETTER. I THINK A YEAR AND A HALF IS WAY TO LONG TO BE WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND A HALF SINCE THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THE PASSENGERS SIDE WOULD BE AVAILABLE A MONTH LATER. I HAVE CALLED MANY TIMES AND BEEN TOLD "NOT YET" WHEN ASKED IF THE REPLACEMENT WAS IN. NOW I GET A POST CARD SAYING TAKATA ARE FILING BANKRUPTCY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THAT OF PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE.

TAKATA RECALL. DRIVER SIDE WAS FIXED, PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT. THE DEALER CANNOT GET THE PARTS

TAKATA RECALL, IT IS NOW GOING ON A YEAR AND A HALF AND SINCE RECALL AND NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL - OVER A YEAR AGO, IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I NEVER RECEIVED A FOLLOW UP LETTER, BUT RECENTLY GOT A NOTICE ON OCTOBER 26, 2017 THAT TK HOLDINGS AND COMPANY AFFILIATES ARE FILING CHAPTER 11. I CALLED THE PALM BAY, FLORIDA FORD DEALER, WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, INQUIRING AS WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID NOT KNOW AND SAID I HAD AS MUCH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RECALL AS THEY DID. I CHECKED THE WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM WEB SITE LISTED ON THE TAKATA NOTICE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE REPAIR WAS INCOMPLETE ON MY CAR BECAUSE THE "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". IT HAS BEEN OVER 15 MONTH AND NO RESOLUTION FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL. DOESN'T FORD HAVE A DUTY TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE SUPPLIER IN A TIMELY MANNER?

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED. I RECEIVED NOTICE ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN JULY 2016 THAT SAID THE PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM SINCE.

TAKATA RECALL WAS IDENTIFIED TO BE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE, 2008 FORD MUSTANG. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE IN 2016. ALMOST 1 AND HALF YEAR LATER THIS ISSUE HAS STILLBORN BEEN FIXED. THOUGH, AS STATED BY THE COMPANY THEMSELVES, THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION CREATED BY THIS CORPORATION.

TAKATA RECALL - IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT SHRAPNEL COULD KILL ME INSTEAD OF THE ACCIDENT VIA AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE OVER TWO YEARS LATER?? THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ACTION FOR REPLACEMENT!

I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF AIRBAG RECALL SAFETY RECALL 16S26 FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CALLED ADVANTAGE FORD SEVERAL TIMES IN JULY AND AGAIN TODAY TRYING TO GET THIS RECALL DONE. TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT IN AND THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THEY COME IN.

I CALLED A DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WILL NOT BE FOR SOME TIME. I CANNOT USE THE CAR WITHOUT UNDUE STRESS.

TAKATA RECALL--MY DEALER SAYS THE INFLATORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.....IT'S BEEN YEARS!!! AND I AM TILL WAITING.....THIS IS RIDICULES. THE FORD DEALER CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE PART.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016 NOTIFYING ME OF THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MIKE PATTON FORD IN LAGRANGE GA. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR ON 08/22/2016. THEY SAID THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN IT WAS. I HAVE CHECKED BACK SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT STILL WAS NOT IN STOCK. STILL WAITING. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE AS I DON'T WANT TO POSSIBLY INJURE SOMEONE RIDING WITH ME.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER ON TWO TIME AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR ACTION TO BE TAKER TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS.

TAKATA RECALL. RECALL DATED JUNE 1, 2016/NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16S26. HOW LONG SHALL I WAIT FOR A REMEDY ANDCAN OR SHOULD THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS BE DISABLED IN THE MEANTIME?

TAKADA RECALL THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED OVER A YEAR AGO AND NOW I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THE PASSENGER SIDE REPLACED. NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER TOOK OVER A YEAR TO INITIALLY SUPPLY THE DEALER WITH THE PART TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG INFLATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER REPAIRED AND, MONTHS LATER, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (LINDSAY FORD OF WHEATON, 11250 VIERS MILL RD, WHEATON, MD 20902, (888) 457-7005) DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - THE FORD DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR THE PAST YEAR AND MAY NEVER BE AVAILABLE. (DEALERSHIP IS CLINTON FAMILY FORD IN ROCK HILL, SC). NEVER BEING ABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE IS NOT WHAT THE PUBLIC IS BEING TOLD.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY DATED JUNE 1 2016. 16+ MONTHS LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL FROM FORD. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS BEING ADDRESSED IN A "TIMELY MANNER"

I HAVE WRITTEN TO FORD FOUR TIMES ASKING FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE TAKATA INFLATOR IN OUR MUSTANG, BEGINNING IN EARLY 2016. I HAVE RECEIVE FOUR FORM RESPONSES TELLING ME THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ISSUE "IS IMPORTANT TO YOU", THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE (THEY NOTICEABLY OMITTED THE WORD 'SAFELY') AND THAT "THE VOLUME AND SCOPE OF THE INDUSTRY-WIDE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS HAVE CREATED UNIQUE REPLACEMENT PARTS CHALLENGES". I GET IT, BUT IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS. I DIDN'T BUY AN AIR BAG INFLATOR FROM TAKATA, I BOUGHT A MUSTANG FROM FORD. FORD SHOULD BE GOING TO ALTERNATIVE PROVIDERS FOR THIS PART. THEY ARE, CLEARLY, PUTTING THEIR INTERESTS AND PROFITS BEFORE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I'M NOT OKAY WITH THIS. IN FACT I'M OUTRAGED BY IT. I'VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM FORD'S "CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES". I'D LIKE MY CAR FIXED SO IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. PERIOD. OR, THEY CAN REPAY ME MY $35,000. I'LL USE IT TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO OPERATE.

TAKATA RECALL: NOTHING HAS HAPPENED (YET), BUT I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS, WHICH POSE A DANGER TO ANY PASSENGERS IN THAT SEAT AND THAT THE RECALL IS FROM JUNE 2016. THIS IS OVER ONE YEAR NOW AND I CONTACTED MY FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND THAT FORD HAS NOT PROVIDED A TIMELINE FOR THE SHOP IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. I AM SUPPOSED TO WAIT FOR A LETTER, WHEN I WAS NOT EVEN INFORMED IN JUNE 2016. I ONLY FOUND OUT NOW, BECAUSE WE RECEIVED A NOTE IN THE MAIL THAT TAKATA IS RESTRUCTURING / FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION AND THAT WE MAY NEED TO FILE OUR CLAIM WITH THEM BY DECEMBER 27, 2017. SO, THEY ARE GETTING OFF THE HOOK AND FORD HAS NO TIMELINE. MEANWHILE, WE ARE DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH NO MEANS TO FIX IT OURSELVES.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED NOTICE FROM FORD IN JULY 2016. HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND TOLD NOTHING THEY CAN DO-FORD HAS NOT RELEASED THE PARTS COMPLAINED DIRECTLY TO FORD AND WAS TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. COULDN'T OR WOULDN'T TELL ME WHERE MY CAR FALLS ON THE PRIORITY LIST NOR COULD THEY TELL ME WHEN I MIGHT EXPECT TO HEAR FROM THEM. NEITHER FORD NOR THE DEALER HAVE KEPT ME AWARE OF ANY PROGRESS. I HAVE HAD TO PURSUE ALL INFORMATION. ALSO COMPLAINED TO THE ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO CONTACTED FORD AND FORD RESPONDED THEY WERE AWAITING PARTS. THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR FOR MY WIFE AND I FOR RETIREMENT, AND SHE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RIDE IN IT. I WANT TO BE PRIORITIZED FOR REPLACEMENT PART.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY MUSTANG ON JUN 1 2016 AND TO CALL MY DEALER. I CALLED THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE AND STILL THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I CANNOT LET ANYONE RIDE AS A PASSENGER FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD ACTIVATE A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. HELP!!!!!!

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL JULY 2016 IN REFERENCE TO SAFETY RECALL 16S26. THE NOTICE INFORMED ME THAT PART 16S26 NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT "PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE". THE NOTICE, THEREFORE, STATED THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WOULD NOTIFY ME VIA MAIL WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2017 AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT YET SENT ME A LETTER TO INFORM ME THAT PART 16S26 IS AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: ON JULY 2016 RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD REGARDING THE NTHSA RECALL 16V-384. THE FORD IDENTIFICATION NUMBER IS RECALL NOTICE 16S26. I CHECKED WITH MY FORD DEALER ON RECALL FIX STATUS ON JULY 2017 AND AGAIN ON OCTOBER 2017. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR THAT THE RECALL WAS IDENTIFIED AND THERE IS NO FIX YET. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ANYONE (SPECIALLY MY WIFE) IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SO FAR I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A FIXED DATE FROM FORD. IF THEIR NEW CARS DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, WHY DON'T FORD AND TAKATA HAVE A FIX FOR THE OLD CARS TOO ? AS A SIDE NOTE, I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THAT ONE FORD FIXED SOME TIME AGO.

TAKATA RECALL: PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED MORE THAN A YEAR AGO AND AFTER SEVERAL INQUIRIES, FORD HAS NOT YET MADE A REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE.

WE WERE INFORMED OF THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS OVER A YEAR AGO AND STILL THERE ARE NO REPLACMEENTS AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE EXTENT OF TIME THAT IS TAKING TO REPLACE THESE PARTS ON FORD VEHICLES. I KNOW OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES OF EQUAL AGE THAT HAVE HAD BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED, YET ONLY THE DRIVER HAS BEEN REPLACED IN MY FORD. I AM IN A HIGH HUMIDITY ZONE AND WOULD LIKE TO GET MY VEHICLE PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS ISSUE IS BEING GREATLY DISMISSED.

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED OUR RECALL LETTER IN JUNE OF 2016 FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. WE WAITED A YEAR AND CALLED FORD IN JULY OF 2017. THEY SAID THAT TAKATA WAS OUT OF BUSINESS AND THEY WERE HIRING ANOTHER COMPANY TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS. WE JUST CALLED AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2017 AND STILL NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE REPAIRED. THEY ALSO TOLD US THAT WE COULD NOT DISABLE THE AIR BAG. SO NO ONE CAN RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, UNLESS YOU WANT TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH YOUR LIFE. WE WAITED OVER A YEAR FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG TO BE REPLACED, SO WE ARE COMING UP ON 3 YEARS THAT WE COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR OR HAD LIMITED USE BECAUSE NO ONE IS ABLE TO RIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WITHOUT PUTTING THERE LIFE IN DANGER.

TAKATA INFLATORS: I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LAST JULY 2016 AND HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. MY WIFE WILL NOT RIDE IN IT BECAUSE OF THIS. SHE HAS RECENTLY RECOVERED FROM 2 BOUTS OF CANCER AND DOES NOT WANT TO GET INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. WHEN CAN I EXPECT A REPLACEMENT?

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DURING AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR, MY CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AT HIGH RATE (STUCK AT 4000-5000 RPM) CAUSING ME TO SPEED DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH VERY LITTLE ABILITY TO STOP AS I HIT THE BRAKES BUT COULD NOT OVERCOME THE ACCELERATION. THINKING AS QUICKLY AS I COULD, I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL TO BRING THE CAR TO A CRAWL AND SLOWLY ROLL TO THE NEXT EXIT AND THEN TO A STOP. I WAS LUCKY TO THINK SO QUICKLY BECAUSE OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE RUN INTO THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME AS THE CAR SPED DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ABILITY TO STOP. I FEAR FOR OTHERS THAT MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IF THERE WAS A STOP AHEAD, IT COULD EASILY END IN LOSS OF LIFE. ONCE SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR, ONLY TO HAVE IT ROCCO TONGUE TO REV. AFTER TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT MY THROTTLE ELECTRONICS HAD MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE THROTTLE TO GET STUCK OPEN. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. FORD'S HANDLING OF IT, WHICH WAS TO SAY THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL-- FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES (SAFETY RECALL NUMBER 15S21/ NHTSA NUMBER 15V319) REGARDING DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAGS. MY DEALER PREFORMED THE RECALL ON THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG BUT FOR 2 YEARS HAS BEEN TELLING ME FORD HAS NOT SENT THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG REPAIR COMPLETED. ON 8/25/17 I CALLED FORD DIRECTLY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. YET THEY CONTINUE TO SEND ME RECALL NOTICES THAT SAY FAILURE TO FIX THE RECALL CAN RESULT " SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." SEEMS LIKE FORD IS NOT MAKING A SERIOUS EFFORT TO FIX THIS KNOWN DANGEROUS CONDITION. ALSO, HOW MANY VEHICLES WILL CHANGE HANDS WHERE THE NEW OWNER WILL NEVER RECEIVE NOTICE OF THE RECALL OR THE DANGERS ARISING FROM FAILURE TO REPAIR THE RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL, TO DATE I AM AWAITING PART TWO OF THE RECALL, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, SINCE JULY 2016
