�takata recall� the vehicle was in a wreck @ 60mph, the vehicle lost control & started sliding then flipped several times which totaled the car. The air bags never deployed!! I had just traded my other car for this Mustang just a few weeks before as an even trade. The dealership who traded with me stated that there was nothing wrong with the Mustang, no recalls or anything wrong with it cause they did a 360 inspection.
The car was involved in a one vehicle accident hitting a guard rail on an interstate at 60 mph. It was pretty much a head on collision. The car stopped immediately when hitting the fifth post of the guard rail, stood the car up on its nose, spun around about 360 degrees before landing on the tires. During this time the air bags never deployed or the passenger seat belt caught. The passenger was bounced all around the car. The passengers of the car were looking straight down at the road when the car was spinning on the nose. Now, by god's grace only, these passengers were not extremely injured and was it a fatal impact. However, if the safety features of the car worked properly, less injury would have been experienced. The could have easily rolled and if so, the air bags would have been a necessity of security precautions. Ford should be held accountable for all the Mustangs experiencing air bag and seat belt problems. I purchase a vechile with the safety options has a main decision of choice. If the safety is not there, you are purchasing a "product" of death.
