Problems with 2008 Ford Mustang AIR BAGS

Takata recall air bags need to be replaced. i received a letter saying i need my air bags replaced.

Takata recall - i have tried on several occasions to have the passenger side airbag recall performed at autonation ford, sanford, fl. they keep telling me that they have to order the part. i keep checking back and they keep telling me that they still have to order the part. most times no one answers the service line at autonation ford. now i'm receiving several airbag recall notices from ford each week. i tried their 1-866-(xxxx) help line but can never get through. i tried the chat on their www.fordowner.com website but cannot get through. this has been an extremely frustrating situation, especially since i'm told i should not have someone sit in the passenger seat until the recall is performed. i want to know how soon i can get this recall performed on my vehicle and stop being hounded by all of these mailings. there is no way to send ford an e-mail complaint about this issue. very frustrating! now i understand why people don't bother to get a safety recall performed on their vehicles! i used to work for nhtsa in the office of defects investigation so i understand how the safety recall process is supposed to work. this is "broken" at ford and autonation ford of sanford florida

Takata recall. have called for 6 months to classic ford lincoln of columbia and been unable to get the part serviced. called with the ford customer care team on the line and they hung up and would not pick up when the agent redialed this morning. she instead called dick smith ford of columbia who is also unable to schedule and says it's first come first server at the top of every month. the fact you are not supposed to drive the car, but are unable to actually get the issue addressed is ridiculous.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2008 ford mustang. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v024000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the recall repair were not available. the dealer (new country ford inc, 3002 ny-50, saratoga springs, ny 12866, 518-584-7272) was contacted and confirmed that parts were not available for the recall remedy. the manufacturer was not notified. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Sterling mccall ford only replaced my driver's side airbag on march 28, 2018. they were to contact me regarding my passenger side airbag but haven't done so. the airbag recall group contacted me to set an appointment, which i did for august 17, 2018 but then seemingly knew nothing about it when i called to confirm. they wanted me to drive 50 miles to another dealer for a chance to replace it.

Takata recall. ford refuses to fix the recalled drivers side airbag until we fix the malfunctioning airbag clock spring at a cost of $400.

Takata recall, i received a letter from ford motor company saying i could call my local dealer and schedule an appointment to repair the faulty airbag. i called crossroads ford in south poston, virginia and they said they could not schedule an appointment as they have no airbags. i feel i can't drive this car without replacing the airbag. ford has lied about the replacement and should correct the information they sent.

Takata recall - at the time i bought a brand new car. then at 40,000 miles the airbag light came on when i was driving. i had it checked and they said there was defective airbags that needed to be replaced. then later they had 2 safety airbags recalls. after i had them replaced the ford dealership informed me none of my air bags would not work as there was a defected drivers side seat air bag that was defective that needed to be replaced and i would have to pay for that as it wasn't on the recall list and it would cost anywhere from$1,500.00 to $3,000.00 it could cost more or less they wouldn't know till they got to the air bag. i refused to pay to have it fixed as it's not my fault. it is ford who built the car. they should have to fix it!!!! this is a safety issue and my life is at risk!!!!

Was notified two years ago that my passenger side air bag is under recall. ford says there is no repair available. i want to know why not. is the passenger not safe?

I received a notification about a recall regarding my driver's side airbag. shortly after, i received another one stating that my passenger's side airbag needed to be replaced as well. the notification stated that if the airbag deploys, it can result in the death of the passenger. it's been over a year since i've been notified and they have yet to inform me that they can make the repair.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2008 ford mustang. when the contact purchased the vehicle, the dealer informed her that there were two recalls associated with the vehicle: nhtsa campaign number: 15v319000 (air bags) and nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). the dealer stated that the recalls would have to be repaired. the dealer (sunset ford, 11700 gravois rd, saint louis, mo 63127) asked the contact if she purchased the vehicle from their lot. when the contact mentioned that she had not, the dealer stated that the first available appointment would not be until july of 2018. the contact was informed by the independent dealer that the remedy was available for one of the recalls. the failure mileage was 122,000. parts distribution disconnect for nhtsa campaign number: 15v319000 (air bags) and vin tool confirms parts not available for nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags).

Takata recall - ford has sent a letter stating that the passenger seat may not be used until further notice. it is difficult to see this letter as anything other than a disingenuous attempt to shift their liability to the owner especially as their website as of today is in conflict with the letter stating, 'your vehicle is affected by a takata airbags recall. parts are not yet available, but your vehicle is safe to drive in the meantime.' this issue has been in play for almost two years and involves a threat of 'serious injury or death' to myself and my family. i require a straightforward, clear response. please see my letter to ford attached. thank you

Takata recall. i have received a letter from ford advising to not allow anyone is sit in the first row passenger seat causing injury or death. what good is a car if you cant use the front passenger seat?

Takata recall - this recall was initiated on june 1, 2016 which is now well over a year ago. we have tried that entire time to have this fixed, but the dealers tell us the parts are not yet available. since this causes death, i am very concerned with driving this car and the possibility of the airbag deploying and killing someone needlessly. i don't understand why the recall does not have a remedy for it when other cars have a safe deplolyment. why can't the takata recall replace the current airbag with one that is installed on other makes and models to ensure a safe drive? this recall should be a priority!

Takata recall. i have attempted several times to schedule an appointment with my ford dealer to have the passenger side air bag recall addressed. each time i call, i'm told the parts are not available. when will the parts be available?

Takata recall - we have had this recall since june 2016. tried multiple times to contact several dealers and have called ford. i am told there is no part to correct situation at this time! takata is out of business and that they have to make the part themselves to correct. no end in sight! there has not been an incident at this point but we would like our recall corrected! it has been almost 18 months!

Takata recall: #16s26. notice of recall received in july 2016. it is now december 2017. isn't 1 1/2 years long enough to be subjected to a possible fatal situation? there has not been any action involving my vehicle.

Takata recall : i would like to file a complaint for the replacement for my passenger side airbag inflator (safety recall 16s26 / nhtsa recal 16v-384). i received a notice from ford in july of 2016 and have contacted a local garage to request with no action taken by ford or the manufacturer of the airbag (takata corporation). i would like my vehicle passenger airbag inflator repaired in a timely manner to avoid injury or death to myself and vehicle occupants.

Airbag recall is over a year old. passenger airbag still not available for replacement.

Takata recall i received a safety recall notice several years ago regarding my 2008 ford mustang. i have repeatedly called the dealer where i bought my car, as well as other dealers in my area trying to get the airbag replaced/repaired. all of the dealerships said they didn't have parts, that parts were on back order and would be in next few months. i got this same speech every time i called. i called my dealer at least once per month. its has been over 2 years and my airbag has not been replaced. i have called ford motor company several times as well. last week a received a legal notice regarding takata airbag company filing chapter 11 bankruptcy. i am driving in a potentially dangerous car. i've had my car for 9 years. i have been trying to sell it or trade it in on a new vehicle for the last 2 years and have been unable to do so because no dealership or private buyer will trade or buy a car with an open safety recall. also, ford motor company advised me that it is illegal to sell a car with an open safety recall. until i receive a replacement airbag, i am not able to sell or trade. all the while, my car is depreciating in value. this issue has created a personal and financial loss to me and is putting my life in danger when i drive the car.

Takata recall ford dealer informs me that the recall parts are not available. ford motor company has sent urgent safety recall notice for both driver and passenger side airbags but only half of the problem has been corrected. what can i do next?

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.

The passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the supplemental frontal airbags are designed to deploy. this defect report is in response to takata dirs 16e-042, 16e-043, 16e-044. the passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the supplemental frontal airbags are designed to deploy. this defect report is in response to takata dirs 16e-042, 16e-043, 16e-044. i have tried to get this replaced at ford in patterson ca a few times! no luck! please help i have kids in my car.

Takata recall, it is now going on a year and a half and since recall and no replacement airbag.

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.

Tajata recall. ford notified me in july 2016 that the air bags could cause injury or death and needed to be repaired or replace. to date, october 30, 2017, they can not effect the repair. 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 - 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"

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: 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.

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--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 - 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.

I bought my mustang from napleton's in arlington heights,il. i was told that they couldn't give me a car fax because they were running low on paper. i just received a recall in the mail from 2016 about airbag. i'm not sure if what the carfax is on my car because they told me to get one off the internet not knowing i'd have to pay for it. there was no disclosure that this mustang had a recall that can cause serious injuries or death. i need help i don't know what to do. you can look at yelp and read about napleton's in arlington heights il on dundee thank you

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 why has it taken almost ten years to replace the defective passenger air bag in my 2008 mustang.

I have been getting notices for several years about my airbags. only have one available. they seem to never get the other one. i only want to take my car in once and get both replaced at the same time. i have 2 mustangs from the same year.

I've tried numerous time to make appointment to get the fixed no call back and put on hold every time i notified my love ones and lawyer to take immediate action if something happens to me or anyone in my vehicle for years this has gone on it's sad to go through this with nothing done. a civil suite is my next option
