TAKATA RECALL, CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE SEPT OR OCT 2016 BEFORE I CAN GET MY AIRBAG REPLACED.

SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 15S21/ NHTSA RECALL 15V-319 FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING RUPTURE 7 DEPLOY ABNORMALLY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING DRIVER 7 OTHER OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FORD ISSUED THIS RECALL ON JULY 2015. THE LETTER CONTAINS NO PHONE # SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE BEING PRODUCED SLOWLY AND GOES IN ORDER OF VIN#. I AM STILL DRIVING WITH MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH THE CONSTANT FEAR OF BEING INJURED AND DYING FROM THE AIR BAG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ME. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT MANAGER ACTED ANNOYED BY MY CALL; HOWEVER, THEY WERE MORE THAN OVERJOYED TO SELL IT TO ME. THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO GET AN UPDATED PROGRESS REPORT ON THE PRODUCTION OF THE REPLACEMENT PART & THE PROCESS SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG. WHAT I AM I TO DO? WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING LIFE-ALTERING HAPPENS WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING MY DREAM CAR...
INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO 'LIMP HOME MODE'. THE 'WRENCH' TROUBLE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH. THE VEHICLE THEN HAS TO BE STOPPED COMPLETELY, PUT INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE THEN STARTS AFTER A FEW EXTRA CRANKS OF THE STARTER AND RUNS NORMALLY. THE 'WRENCH LIGHT IS NO LONGER LIT AND NO ENGINE CODE IS STORED. MY MECHANIC CANNOT TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ENGINE ERROR CODE IS STORED. RESEARCH ON-LINE POINTS TO DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AS THE CULPRIT WITH REPLACEMENT AS THE SOLUTION. FORD SHOULD ADD THE MUSTANG TO ITS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM FOR DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES. I UNDERSTAND SOME 1.6 MILLION VEHICLES ARE ALREADY ON THIS LIST. THE PROBLEM BEGAN FOR ME ABOUT A YEAR AGO AROUND THE 18K MILE MARK AND THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 22K MILES ON IT, IS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND CARED FOR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT WE, AS OWNERS, COULD AT LEAST ADDRESS PROPERLY IF THERE WAS AN ENGINE ERROR CODE REPORTED. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE BASED ON WHAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, SINCE THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FROM FORD. I DID REPORT THIS TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY 04/23/2016. THEY CONFIRMED THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEM WITH MUSTANG THROTTLE BODIES. I RECOMMEND THAT FORD PUT SOME ENGINEERS ON THIS AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME, WE MUSTANG OWNERS WITH CARS OUT OF WARRANTY ARE HAVING TO FEND FOR OURSELVES.

I CALLED THE SAFERCAR.GOV PHONE NUMBER REGARDING THE STATUS OF MY CAR'S TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL SINCE IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING MY CAR IS INDEED AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER OF MY CAR AT 1-800-392-3673. FOLLOWING THE PROMPTS, I WAS WAITING ON HOLD UNTIL MY TURN CAME UP BUT WAS EVENTUALLY CUT OFF; I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES ENCOUNTERING THE SAME ISSUE. I AM FRUSTRATED AS TO THE TIME IT IS TAKING TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS WITH RECENTLY ANOTHER LIFE LOST TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO ENSURE THESE AIRBAGS ARE REPLACED QUICKLY!!!
TAKATA RECALL. MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG WAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS ON 5-27-2015. THE RECALL STATUS ON 4-8-2016 IS STILL "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER DEATH CAUSED BY THESE EXPLODING TAKATA AIRBAGS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE NHTSA TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND MAKES FORD AND OTHER AFFECTED MANUFACTURERS START REPLACING THESE AIRBAGS? I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL: IN JULY 2015, I GOT A NOTICE THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS. I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THEM REPLACED BUT ALL THAT I GET IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THEM YET. WHEN ARE THEY REQUIRED TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT?
WENT TO STOP AND HAD TO PUT CAR INTO NEUTRAL BEFORE CAR STOPPED BECAUSE GAS PETAL WOULD NOT RELEASE.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK, THEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR, AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, AND THE ENGINE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ONE WHEN IT OCCURS. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A RECALL NOTICE BEFORE THEY CAN FIX IT. I'M OUT OF WORK AND DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE DRIVING IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.
TAKATA RECALL WHY DOESN'T NTSB, FORD,TAKATA, SOMEBODY, GIVE US SOME SORT OF PROJECTED DATE WHEN PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. WE GOT A LETTER IN JULY 2015 STATING CAR NEEDED ATTENTION AND WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS WERE IN AND REPAIRS COULD BE DONE. I KNOW A MAZDA OWNER WHOSE CAR HAS BEEN CALLED IN 3 TIMES FOR THIS WORK. YET FORD ONLY SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS. WHY NOT DISARM THE AIR BAD AS AN INTRIM STEP, IF NOTHING ELSE. I'D RATHER TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THAT THAN DRIVE AROUND WITH AN AIR BAG THAT CAN KILL ME. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL FORD, AND PERHAPS OTHER PRODUCT OWNERS, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

MUSTANG 2012 GT RUST DISCOVERED ON TOP AND UNDER HOOD THIS WINTER. VERY SERVER . IT IS GOING TO COST 1500-2000 DOLLARS TO FIX . NO GUARANTY THAT THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. OUT OF POCKET MONEY FOR A CAR THAT IS COVERED, AND GARAGE KEPT. THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE A SCRATCH OR DENT ON IT. THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING.
TAKATA RECALL NO WORD ON REPLACEMENT05.
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CO. IN JULY 2015. IT STATES THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE AND DEPLOY ABNORMALLY. IF THIS HAPPENS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I CONTACTED FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE IN DECEMBER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED IN 2016. I CONTACTED THEM IN FEBRUARY AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS? THE RECALL NOTICE 152S21/NHTSA RECALL 15V-319. I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF? THANKS.
TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED LAST YEAR THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED. FORD STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX OR A PLAN TO FIX. THIS CAR IS JUST SITTING BECAUSE I WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN DO DRIVE A CAR THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR AIRBAGS THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH. HOW LONG DOES FORD HAVE TO REPAIR? I HAVE TO PAY INSURANCE, PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX ON A CAR WE WON'T USE. PEOPLE ALSO DO NOT WANT TO PURCHASE MY CAR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN RECALLED AND NOT FIXED. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THIS IS NOT A FORD ISSUE IT IS A TAKATA ISSUE AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEAN TIME MY CAR IS DEPRECIATING AND NOT BEING USED. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE?
TAKATA RECALL - IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG WHEN I EXPERIENCED A MINOR FENDER BENDER, LESS THAT 10 MPH. SURPRISINGLY, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING MY PASSENGER, A YOUNG BOY WITH A STOMACH BAG AND OTHER ILLNESSES TO HAVE TO GET CHECKED IN THE HOSPITAL. THANK GOD HE WAS NOT INJURED BUT HE WAS VERY SHAKEN UP FOR MANY DAYS BECAUSE OF HIS AUTISM. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BODYART COLLISION CENTER ((908-789-0330) TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE. HOWEVER, THREE MONTHS LATER MY CAR IS STILL SITTING THERE BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH THEY WERE ABLE TO INSTALL THE PROPER AIRBAGS, FORD HAS NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO GET APPROVAL FOR A NEWLY DESIGNED REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE CALLED TO FIND AFTER MARKET DASHBOARD BUT NO ONE HAS THEM. FORD HAS ALSO STOPPED MANUFACTURING THEM, MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. MY MECHANIC, MYSELF, MY MOTHER AND ANYONE ELSE I CAN FIND HAS CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (HEATHER 866-631-3788, EXT. 7-7790, CASE NO. CAS8338404) AND THEIR RESPONSE IS "WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO GIVE YOU." NOW THEY NO LONGER RETURN CALLS. WE EVEN SENT AN EMAIL TO THE CEO BUT HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE NO CAR, CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ONE, AND AM LIVING WITH MY MOTHER SO THAT I CAN USE HER CAR FOR ERRANDS, EVEN THOUGH I NOW HAVE TO TRAVEL 40 MINUTES TO GET TO WORK. I PAY $1500+ MONTHLY RENT AND I CANT EVEN LIVE IN MY APARTMENT. THE FRUSTRATION IS OVERWHELMING. I ASK FOR ANY RELIEF FROM FO
ONE MORNING I STARTED UP THE MUSTANG IN THE GARAGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T WORK. I COULDN'T TURN IT IN EITHER DIRECTION. AND THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT WAS ON. THANK GOODNESS THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LATER ON, THE STEERING WHEEL DID WORK AND THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT WAS OFF. BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE IT SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED (INTERNALLY FAILED EPAS STEERING RACK, CODE = U3000:49) FOR A COST OF $1,800. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED.
MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG HAS RUNAWAY CORROSION AROUND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. THIS CORROSION WILL AFFECT THE HOOD CRUMPLE AREAS IN A CRASH.
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY DATED JULY 2015, ALMOST 8 MONTHS AGO INFORMING ME OF SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 15S21. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS RECALL THAT DETAILS THE POSSIBILITY OF A ABNORMALLY DEPLOYING DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. I JUST SPOKE TO FORD (IT IS 23 FEBRUARY 2016 AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING) AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS NECESSARY TO REPAIR THIS VERY SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG. THERE RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY WERE STILL WORKING WITH THE SUPPLIER FOR THE PARTS. THAT IS EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE, GIVEN THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NATURE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. I REQUEST THAT NHTSA CONTACT FORD AND PRESSURE THEM TO ACCELERATE THEIR EFFORTS IN ACQUIRING THE NECESSARY PARTS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. NHTSA SHOULD FINE FORD FOR THEIR INACTION IN THIS MATTER. IT COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH.
TAKATA RECALL - I AM BEING TOLD BY MY FORD DEALERSHIP THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS SENT THEM NO PARTS/AIRBAGS AT ALL TO REPLACE THE RECALLED ONES. I LIVE IN FLORIDA (NOT GETTING ANY MORE HUMID THAN THAT), AND IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE (MAY 2015). I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SEND THE REPLACEMENTS ASAP, AS NONE OF THE DEALERS ARE PROVIDING LOANERS, AND I DRIVE 80 MILES A DAY!! THANK YOU!!!
FORD HAS YET TO MAKE THE PARTS AVAILABLE AND TELLS ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING A CAR THSAT, BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION, COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THEY TOLD ME THE DIRECTOR OF THE NHTSA IS TELLING PEOPLE TO GO AHEAD AND DRIVE THESE CARS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PARTS FOR MONTHS AND DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. WHY IS FORD BEING ALLOWED TO GET BY WITH THIS. THEY SHOUDL EITHER FIX OUR CARS OR BUY THEM BACK FROM US. 9 DEATHS AND 136 SERIOUS INJURIES IS TERRIFYING. IF THEY CAN MAKE NEW CARS WITH SAFE AIR BAGS TO SELL AT THEIR DEALERSHIP, WHY CAN'T THEYAREN'T THEY BEING FORCED TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS OUT TO THE CONSUMERS THEY SOLD DEFECTIVE CARS TO. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, THE SO-CALLED SAFTEY FEATURE COULD KILL ME. WE, THE CONSUMERS, NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE TO GET THIS MATTER RECTIFIED.

IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT MY WIFE PUTS HER LIFE AT RISK EVERY TIME SHE GETS BEHIND THE WHEEL OF HER CAR AND ALMOST A YEAR LATER THEY STILL CANNOT TELL US WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE PARTS TO FIX THIS.

I HAVE A 2012 MUSTANG GT WITH 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR AT ABOUT 2,500 MILES. THE CAR AT THAT POINT HAD A DEALER RE-BUILT TRANSMISSION AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT HAS 2ND THROUGH 6TH GEAR REPLACED DUE TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THE CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 49,000 MILES. IN EARLY JANUARY, IT BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO 1ST GEAR. IT WAS VERY STIFF AND TOOK A LOT OF FORCE TO GET IT INTO 1ST. SHIFTING TO 2ND GEAR RESULTED IN A GEAR-MASHING SOUND. 3RD GEAR SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD CLUNK. 4TH THROUGH 6TH GEARS WERE FINE. THESE INCIDENTS BECAME WORSE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE 2 DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS BY NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS IN TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN THE NORTH ATLANTA, GA AREA AND THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR. THEIR TRANSMISSION TECH BELIEVED IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SYNCHRONIZERS. THE TECH DID NOT BELIEVE HE HAD THE EXPERTISE TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE AND REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP. ON 1/14/16 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE 2ND DEALERSHIP AND THEIR TECH AGREED IT WAS THE SYNCHRONIZERS. THAT DEALERSHIP TOOK ABOUT 1 WEEK TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE ISSUE WAS NOT SOLVED; LOUD SOUNDS WERE COMING OUT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR. OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS, THEY'VE ORDERED NUMEROUS REPLACEMENT PARTS. AS OF TODAY, 2/9/16, THERE ARE PARTS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE ETA FOR THE PARTS IS NOW 2/24/16. I'VE REA
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2014. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO TEMPORARY FIX IS AVAILABLE. MY CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A POLE AND A BUILDING. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,700.
MY VEHICLE CONSTANTLY GOES INTO LIMP HOME MODE WHILE DRIVING. TURNS OFF ALL CYLINDERS EXCEPT 1 WHICH LET'S YOU DRIVE ABOUT 5MPH. ALSO WHILE MY VEHICLE IS AT IDLE IT BEGINS TO LOOSE PROPER IDLE RPM AND NEARLY STALLS UNTIL REVS BACK TO A HIGHER RPM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE ISSUE IS THOUGHT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY AND THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. CURRENTLY MYMY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP GOING THROUGH SOME VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY AND I AM BEING CHARGED $145.00 FOR THE INITIAL INSPECTION AND THEN CHARGED BY THE HOUR TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I NOT INCLUDING PARTS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S ALREADY FAILING. IT APPEARS THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND FORD HAS YET TO RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.
WHY IS IT THAT NEW CARS HAVE AIRBAGS NOT INVOLVED IN RECALL, BUT THOSE OF US DRIVING WITH THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS CANNOT GET OURS REPLACED? BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT FORCING THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO DO IT! AUTO MAKERS WOULD MUCH RATHER PAY OUT TO INDIVIDUAL PHYSICALLY MAIMED OR KILLED PER LAWSUIT, THAN TO PAY THE MILLIONS TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. SHAMEFUL ON YOUR PART!!

THERE IS NO REASON FOR FORD NOT TO COVER THIS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF MY HOOD. THE PAINT IS LIFTING OFF OF THE HOOD DUE TO CORROSION UNDER THE PAINT BY MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE.
WAS DRIVING AROUND 50MPH ON CITY STREETS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR LOST POWER AND WENT LIMP. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WAS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE UNDER THE HOOD LIKE IT WAS STRUGGLING. COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE WITHIN A 8 MONTH TIME PERIOD DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. EACH TIME I TURN THE CAR ON & OFF AGAIN AND IT SEEMS TO RESET. I'VE NOTICED MY CAR HASN'T BEEN GETTING THE SAME CITY MPG AS BEFORE. IVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS, I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND THIS STARTED AT ROUGHLY 62,000 MILES.

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.
