2014 Ford Mustang

TAKATA RECALL - THIS 2014 MUSTANG HAS APPROXIMATELY 22700 MILES AND HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS. THOUGH FORD HAS NOTIFIED ME THAT AIRBAGS ARE AVAILABLE, I CANNOT GET A DEALER (I'VE BEEN TO TWO) TO INSTALL THE AIRBAG. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR HAS AN ELECTRICAL FAULT IN THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN NOTED SINCE THE CAR HAD 5000 MILES ON IT. DESPITE MORE THAN FIVE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND MORE THAN 28 DAYS IN THE SHOP, THE CAR IS STILL UNREPAIRED. THE FORD ENGINEER'S LATEST SPECULATION AS TO THE CAUSE IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM, WHICH HE ACKNOWLEDGED COULD AFFECT ALL SYSTEMS, INCLUDING BRAKES, THROTTLE CONTROL, LIGHTING, AND THE AIRBAGS TO NAME A FEW. BBB'S AUTOLINE ARBITRATOR AGREED THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ORDERED FORD TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FORD DID NOT DO SO WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME DUE TO FRIVOLOUS DOCUMENT REQUESTS THAT DELAYED THE PROCESS, AND THEIR REFUSAL TO INSPECT THE CAR ON SITE OR PICK THE CAR UP WITH A WRECKER AT A REASONABLE TIME. THEY INSISTED THAT I DRIVE THE CAR, WHICH I NOW REFUSE TO DO SO. THERE ARE OTHER DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE, THESE ARE THE PRIMARY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE CLAIM.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN WHICH ANOTHER DRIVER DID AN ILLEGAL UTURN IN FRONT OF ME AND I T-BONED THEM. THE BULK OF THE DAMAGE WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH SUCH INTENSITY THAT IT BROKE MY ARM AND DISLOCATED MY ELBOW. I ACCUMULATED OF $160K IN MEDICAL BILLS THAT I ULTIMATELY HAD TO REIMBURSE MY HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY BECAUSE THE OTHER DRIVERS INSURANCE WAS MINIMAL. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE UNTIL MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I LIVE IN THE SOUTH WHERE THE HUMIDITY IS GREAT AND ACCORDING TO THE CLASS ACTION IT CAUSED THEM TO DEPLOY WITH GREAT PRESSURE. I CONTACTED THE CLASS ACTION PEOPLE AND THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND IT CLEARLY IS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A DEER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAIN INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GATORLAND COLLISION CENTER. THEN TAKEN TO BUCHHOLZ PAINT AND AUTOBODY FOR THE REPAIR WHERE THE RADIATOR SUPPORTS AND THE FENDER APRON WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 ( AIR BAGS) AND HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO PARKS FORD DEALER, LOCATED ON 3333 N MAIN ST, GAINESVILLE FL 32609, WHERE THEY HAD INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HOWEVER RECEIVED SEVERAL EMAILS AND MAIL NOTIFICATIONS FROM FORD MANUFACTURER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL SERVICED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIR WAS DONE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000. VIN TOOLS CONFIRMS PART NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS TOLD MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS WHEN I WAS THINKING OF PURCHASING. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AS SOON AS THE PARTS CAME IN. THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO. EVERY TIME I GO TO HAVE MAINTENANCE DONE I ASK ABOUT THIS RECALL AND WHEN CAN I EXPECT IT TO BE DONE....HOPEFULLY BEFORE IT KILLS ME!!! I LIVE IN ALPHARETTA, GA AND THE TRAFFIC IS AS BAD AS EVERYONE SAYS. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I WOULD HATE THAT MY DEATH OCCURRED BECAUSE FORD DIDN'T REPLACE FAULTY PARTS.

AT STARTUP, WHILE LEAVING THE NEIGHBORHOOD A DRY CLEAR DAY (NO RAPID ACCELERATION) , EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF POWER. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, GRINDING SOUND OCCURS THEN NORMAL DRIVING RESUMES AND LIGHT TURNS OFF. FIRST OCCURRED 2 YEARS AGO. SINCE BRAKES ROTORS CHANGED, STILL OCCURS, MUCH MORE OFTEN NOW, ON DATE INDICATED, HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN 1/4 MILE, LESS THAN 1 MILE TOTAL DRIVE.

HAVING REAR END WHINNING NOISE, FORD WORKED ON REAR END COMPONENTS 6 TIMES NOW. THE LAST REPAIR THEY DID THE REPLACED HOUSING AND CARRIER- PRETTY MUCH BRAND NEW REAR END. I'M STILL HAVING REAR END NOISE AND THEY REFUSE ME OF ANY FURTHER REPAIRS. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN I HEAR THIS NOISE ONLY WHEN ACCELERATING, AS SOON AS I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS IT STOPS. I HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THEM IN FORDS RECORDS.
