2012 Ford Mustang complaints

TAKATA RECALL - FORD DEALER IS UNABLE TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS.

"TAKATA RECALL" NO REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN PROVIDED NOR AN ANTICIPATED DATE FOR IT TO BE AVAILABLE. I AM NOT ALLOWING ANY PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY FOR ME TO RENT VEHICLES ON OCCASIONS WHERE I NEED TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE. A REPLACEMENT PART OR INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVAL OF THE RECALLED PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY NOW. I HAVE A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE AND I CAN'T SELL. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I NEED SOME ASSISTANCE, PLEASE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN MARCH 2017 STATING MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IS BEING RECALLED. I CALLED THEM IN MAY AND THEY STILL DIDN'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE. I CALLED THEM TODAY AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THEM AND COULDN'T TELL ME WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I ASKED FOR A LOANER AND THEY DENIED ME ONE. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT ONLY I CAN RIDE IN AND THEY WON'T GIVE ME A LOANER. THIS AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG IS WAY BEYOND REASONABLE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER (CAROLINE FORD 103 CHURCH PATH, SC 29654, 888-420-5939) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE .THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT HAS DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR ON ITS OWN FROM DIFFERENT GEARS, IT HAS STAYED LOCKED IN GEAR ON SEVERAL GEARS AND IT HAS STAYED IN A HIGH GEAR WHILE STOPPED, SO IT IS VERY SLOW LEAVING A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. NO TROUBLE CODES OR LIGHTS (MIL OR WRENCH) HAVE BEEN THROWN OR LIT UP DURING THE INCIDENTS. THE CAR SEEMS TO RIGHT ITSELF AFTER A FEW MINUTES. HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG PERIOD AND IS COLD. TOOK THE CAR TO GLENN FORD IN NICHOLASVILLE, KY AND EXPLAINED WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS DOING AND IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL THAT THEY PERFORMED (16N02/16S19) ON THE CAR BACK IN FEB 2017. THEY BRUSHED IT OFF AND SAID IT WOULD BE $110 TO LOOK AT THE CAR. WE SAID FINE. THEY HAVE HELD THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS AND SAID THEY DROVE IT AT LEAST 36 MILES AND "NOTHING HAPPENED". THEY SAID THERE ARE NO DTC/FAULT CODES, SO THE CAR IS PERFECTLY FINE. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT PERFORM THE MOLDED LEADFRAME REPAIR OF THE RECALL BECAUSE THERE ARE NO FAULT CODES. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE COMPLAINING OF THE SITUATION BECAUSE THE INFO ON THE NOTICE SAYS EITHER A FAULT CODE SHOWS UP OR THE CUSTOMER "REPORTS AN INTERMITTENT UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR". WELL, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE REPORTED BEFORE WE EVEN REALIZED ANYTHING ABOUT THE LEADFRAME PART OF THE RECALL. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD HAVE

WHEN STARTING MY CAR, THE WRENCH ICON STAYS LIT ON MY DASHBOARD. THE CAR MANUAL STATES THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN I AM (OR NOT) PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL- SOMETIMES WHEN I LIGHTLY PUSH THE PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVS, OTHER TIMES THE CAR WON'T MOVE AT ALL. THIS HAS PUT ME (AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD) IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION TO BE IN, THAT I CAN'T CONTROL MY CAR. I HAVE READ MANY THINGS ONLINE THAT THERE HAS BEEN THIS ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER FORD/LINCOLN CARS, FROM 2011-2015. WHEN CALLING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE FREE OF CHARGE, EVEN THOUGH FORD HAD A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM". I WAS TOLD MY CAR IS NOT IN THOSE THAT HAD THAT ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. FRONTAL PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THROUGH THE MAIL MARCH 2017. I'VE CONTACTED VISTA FORD OF WOODLAND HILLS CA NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE FIRST NOTIFICATION & ALSO SPOKE TO THE MGR. OF SERVICE JEFF HARKNESS. JEFF INDICATED HE HAS NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE WHATSOEVER. NEED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPAIRED ASAP. IF IT RUPTURES, IT MIGHT KILL OR SEVERALLY INJURE SOMEONE. ALREADY HAD ON AIRBAG REPLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE, NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE?

TAKATA RECALL - STILL WAITING FOR KEARNY PEARSON FORD TO CONTACT ME FOR REPLACEMENT THE AIRBAG. BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT IN AUGUST 2017 BUT THEY SAID I NEED TO WAIT FOR THEM TO CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAVE THE PIECES IN STOCK.

TAKATA RECALL, I KEEP BEING TOLD THE REMEDY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS NOT AVAILABLE. WILL IT EVER BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE TAKATA GOES BANKRUPT?

TAKATA RECALL: FORD DEALER ( NORTH CENTRAL FORD ) THEY STATED THAT FORD HAS NOT INFORMED THEM HOW TO HANDLE THIS RECALL. THERE ARE NO PARTS TO HANDLE IT. WHAT IF MY SON IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS KILLING HIM OR WHO EVER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIX THIS?

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT HAVE CONTACTED NUMEROUS FORD DEALERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE THIS RECALL SATISFIED, WITH NO SATISFACTION.

PASSENGER AIRBAG STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. IT WAS RECALLED SOMETIME AGO, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF A DATE IT WILL BE FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL - IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT SHRAPNEL CAN KILL ME IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY RATHER THAN THE ACCIDENT! IMMEDIATE ACTION IS NEEDED FOR REPLACEMENT!! I HAVE NOT ONE BUT TWO CARD AFFECTED!

TAKATA RECALL. I AM UNABLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I HAVE RECEIVED BANKRUPTCY NOTICE REGARDING THIS AND DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED, IF PARTS ARE FINALLY AVAILABLE. PLEASE ADVISE ON THE DIRECTION I SHOULD GO TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL - WE HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR. WE ARE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIR, AND IS WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO SEND THEM THE PARTS.

RECCALLI FOR TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAGS SAFETY NOTICE 17SO1/NHTSA RECALL 17S01. NOTIFIED MARCH 2017. HAVE DRIVEN 8000 MILES AND 7 MONTHS. FURTHR DELAY IS INEXCUSABLE.

I HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THE SAFETY OF MY AIRBAGS SINCE MARCH 2017 AND TO THIS DAY IN OCTOBER 2017, THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, THE PARTS NEED TO BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY (60MPH - 65MPH) CAR SUDDENLY STALLS. NO POWER TO ENGINE, NEED TO LIMP TO SIDE OF FREEWAY (VERY DANGEROUS). CAR SITS, THEN YOU CAN RE-START. SOUNDS LIKE ELECTRONIC THOTTLE BODY (ETB) ISSUE THAT YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF. WHY ARE YOU NOT INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE??? FORD (WESTWAY FORD, IRVING, TX) CANNOT DIAGNOSE. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. CARS STALLING ON FREEWAY ARE A HAZARD TO ALL PARTIES. YOU GUYS NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED AND LOCAL DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS

"TAKATA RECALL", DRIVERS AIRBAG TOOK FOREVER TO BE REPLACED. NEXT WE RECEIVE RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. CONTACTED SEVERAL FORD DEALERS FOR INFORMATION ON WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. NONE OF THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS HAVE A CLUE WHEN REPLACEMENT IS COMING, YET THEY KEEP BUILDING NEW FORDS EVERYDAY WITH ALL TYPES OF AIRBAGS INSTALLED. WHY CAN'T THERE BE A FIX FOR THE 2012 FORD MUSTANG GT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG? NOW TAKATA HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. DATES ENTERED ARE NOT EXACT, BUT I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION REQUESTING RECALL ACTION ON MY VEHICLE. WHERE DO I TURN TO NEXT.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE UNDER DRY CONDITIONS AT ABOUT A CONSTANT 30 MPH, THE CAR STARTED PULSING THE FRONT CORNER BRAKES. AT THE SAME TIME, THE VEHICLES TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF. I WAS NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES AT THE TIME. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CAR'S TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM THOUGHT MY TIRES WERE SPINNING, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I STOPPED AND INSPECTED MY FRONT WHEEL AND FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE TIRE OR ITS ALIGNMENT OR FENDER CLEARANCE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE PROBLEM STOPPED. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS THE CAR COULD INADVERTENTLY BRAKE ITSELF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

SHIFT SOLENOID D : VEH IS PART OF RECALL 16S19 AND RECALL 16N02. THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTING STILL AT WITHOUT WARNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS DEVICE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL, AND FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THIS DEFECT ALTHOUGH IT IS CLEARLY A PART OF THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAD ORDERED THESE TRANSMISSIONS FROM A MANUFACTURER IN CHINA, AND THEY'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FROM DAY ONE. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THE MALFUNCTION OCCURS. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME THIS WAY IN FEBRUARY OF 2013, AND AT THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS AN OPEN ECM ISSUE AND WAS NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED WITH. I TOOK THEM AT THEIR WORD AND AM PAYING THE PRICE FOR IT. I HAVE CHECKED MY CAR FAX, AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF THIS AS A PROBLEM. NOW, I AM GETTING A CODE P0769 READ MORE: HTTPS://WWW.ENGINE-CODES.COM/P0769.HTML THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD IS SAYING THEY DO NOT AND ARE NOT GOING TO COVER THIS UNDER THE RECALL NOTIFICATION. AS A FORMER PARAMEDIC, WITH EXPERIENCE WITH COUNTLESS MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS OVER THE YEARS, IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO LIFE, LIMB AND PROPERTY AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ALL CAME ON THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, THE TIRE SENSOR WENT CRAZY , CAR LOST ALL SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD TURNED CAR OFF RESTARTED IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MILES THEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED AGAIN. CALLED FORD AND THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR CHECK WAS TOLD IT IS THE LEADFRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION AND FORD HAS RECALLED OTHER FORD MUSTANG VEHICLES SAME YEAR AS MINE FOR SAME PROBLEM BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ONE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED IN ALL THE CARS

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED RECALL MAR2016. CONTACTED FORD DEALER REGARDING FIX. I ASKED HIM 1. IS THE CAR SAFE TO DRIVE. HIS ANSWER WAS THE NHTSA SAID IT WAS CLEARED TO DRIVE. 2. IS IT OK TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE AFFECTED SEAT. SAME ANSWER AS IN #1. 3. WHEN WILL THE PART BECOME AVAILABLE? NO CLUE. HE ACTUALLY SAID IT COULD BE YEARS SINCE TAKATA WAS BANKRUPT AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR OTHER MANUFACTURERS TO MAKE THE PART. THE NHTSA WEBSITE STATES RECALLS ARE ISSUED WHEN EQUIPMENT CREATES AN UNREASONABLE SAFETY RISK OR FAILS TO MEET MINIMUM SAFETY STANDARDS. SINCE THE FORD DEALER STATED THAT THE NHTSA CLEARED VEHICLES UNDER THIS RECALL AS 'SAFE TO DRIVE', COULD I GET IT IN WRITING THAT MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE? I ALSO LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THE 50% INCREASE IN PROBABILITY EXISTS DUE TO TEMP AND HUMIDITY. ALSO, COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS SUBJECT TO EXPLODING AND NOT THE DRIVERS SIDE.

AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW A GEAR CHANGE FROM FIRST TO SECOND IF THE RPM IS GRATER THAN 6000 RPM. THE CLUTCH PEDDLE RELEASES AT THE FLOOR. AFTER THE ENGINE HAS SLOWED THE CLUTCH RETURNS TO NORMAL AND THE CAR CAN NOW BE SHIFTED INTO SECOND. IT MAY BE CAUSED BY TROUGH OUT BEARING OR SPRING TENSION ON THE CLUTCH ITS SELF. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR ONLY HAS 46000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMMON PROBLEM.

WHEN I CALL THE NATIONAL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE, I GOT THROUGH THE PHONE TREE AND CHOSE TAKATA AIR BAG WHICH HUNG UP ON ME AFTER 5 MINUTES OF DEAD AIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR FROM AN AUTO MANUFACTURER WITH A RECALL ONGOING.

NOISE IN THE BACK SUSPENSION- DRIVING ON NORMAL PAVEMENT MAKES CONTINUED SOUND. HAVE BEEN TOLD BUSHINGS HAVE GONE BAD. CURRENT MILES 43000 MILES. IS THIS A RECALL?
