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.

Takata recall back in july 2015 i received a safety recall notice regarding the afore mentioned. in the notice we were informed that we would be contacted when parts became available ford will notify us when we could schedule a service appointment. almost a year later still no letter i have called our local dealer three times and ford customer service and still there is no fix in sight for us - apparently. what is our recourse? we live in glendora california , if you can provide a dealer that is provided with parts for repair i would appreciate that. thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

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.

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...

Takata recall, called ford and they said it would be sept or oct 2016 before i can get my airbag replaced. this is ridiculous, hoping not to be in accident for 18 months while waiting for them to get to this. recall was may 2015..i and or my family will file lawsuit in the event that i am in accident before this recall is repaired

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!!!

Takata recall no word on replacement05.

The 2012 mustang collided with a large commercial truck. the mustang's brakes were not applied, so there were no skid marks. none of the airbags ever deployed. during this accident, the mustang was traveling the posted speed limit of 40 mph and we believe that the airbags should have deployed. *tr

I received the recall notice last year in 2015. i took the car to the ford dealer in napa california for service/repair. the dealer told me that the replace parts were not available because they had not been manufactured yet. i went back for service in march 2016, and was told the same thing. if i am maimed, wounded or killed because of this dangerous equipment and negligent process, i hope my family files a huge law suite and ford and the us government for failure of oversight of a known defect cause harm or death.

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.

Takata recall- when will replacements be available. it has been two years since we were advised our mustang air bags need takata replacements. tony

Takata recall purchased vehicle then learned after 2 years of defect.

Vehicle turned right from a stop, onto a texas state highway. shifting manually from first gear to second gear, the vehicle went out of control (apparently due to loss of traction because there was a coating of fine sand on the tires). the vehicle crossed 3 lanes of traffic, and in doing so, went into a roll-over, reports stating the vehicle rolled 4 times, and striking a utility poll that stopped the roll. the utility poll was struck on the passenger side, by the windshield pillar, causing terrific damage and cave in. the utility poll was broken, almost snapped in half (the utility pole was replaced). while there was no passenger other than the driver, the only airbag in the car that deployed was the driver side curtain. the severity of the crash would indicate that all of the airbags should have deployed, to shield the driver and potential passengers. driver also went into the windshield, the steering wheel bag not deploying. potential back seat riders should be protected in such a devastating crash as well. photo evidence would indicate all bags should have deployed. the driver had not disengaged passenger bags (driver/owner doesn't even know how to disengage passenger bags). on one occasion a few weeks before the crash, an info light message came on for a few seconds while operating the car, stating the passenger side airbags were off. i couldn't figure out why. i had not turned them off. i stopped the car and turned off the engine. after restarting the car the message had disappeared. major damage to the degree my car was destroyed should deploy all airbags. *tr

Fyi i can not include the top/roof due to it wont allow me to input the check mark) i baught this mustang in june 2012,used from ford here in sioux falls sd, since that time i have asked about the top about the clunking and if they would notify me if any recalls. they only sent one for the passenger air bag , until this week when i received a second notice for the takata air bags from the day i took her off the lot. i wanted to know why my front end suspension is making a clunking sound in front and it's been there since the first day, i even had her looked at to make sure she wasn't damaged, within minutes they came back and said she's fine no problems and why my transmission does not want to shift to higher gears from 1st thru overdrive, she bogs down like there isnt any fuel getting to her engine and she doesn't shift through the gears properly, if i had recieved the recalls it would of been in immediately. my top leaks water when washed so it can cause damage on the inside especially the door electrical systems, yet ford refused to have the top redone since they feel it's just normal wear yet its happened since the first time i had to wash her. i'm starting to think think ford has taken advantage of me in this case as i still can not get any updated information on my car and if i can either get the work done or the vehicle replaced, mind you i still owe on her and to be honest i do not want a trade in , i'd rather ford fix these issues and write off the remaining debt due to negligence for not advising me of these recalls in a timely manner and for bit fixing the issues when the recalls came out . it's quite frustrating to know i've paid over 20000 for a car that they are willfully neglecting to fix and yet i'm to be liable for the debt no matter the possiblity that they are negligent and dismissive of my claims.

Dealers do not have parts. ford motor co. has requested that i call , and have them order the parts needed.
