Received a recall notice sometime ago and were told not available, and few months I I would check to no avail. Last time I check was this fall still not available, now I'm stuck with it being checked for my safety. Still waiting for recall replacement.
This morning the unexpected and unheard of happened my passenger side airbag inside the seat deployed for no apparent reason. I was pulling in to the gas station at about 5-10 mph with my brother in the passenger side and wife in backseat when all of a sudden the airbag exploded, my brother thought we got into a crash and wife thought we were getting shot at and I thought my engine exploded until my brother said it was the airbag and was complaining of pain in his arm while my wife complained she could not hear from the loud pop when it deployed. My car has Ford racing lowering springs I have had them on the car for almost two years. I recently drove from south carolina to texas and the roads were not smooth especially here in texas where it happened. I might understand the airbag in the seat deploying while hitting a hard bump but not when driving on a smooth concrete surface where it ended up deploying. I think if I was driving down the highway and the airbag inside the seat on the driver side would have deployed I could have lost control.
The 2006 Ford Mustang v6 coupe seats pose a dangerous threat not only for the way they are bolted into the car's frame and rust away but the fact the sides of the seat cloth rips away, exposing the internal stuffing. As stuffing falls out, the seat's solid structure is left, which will cause a severe back injury if in a car accident. The 2006 Ford Mustang v6 coupe manuel transmission synchronizer poses a problem because the second gear no longer functions, posing a severe threat in switching gears and causing an accident. The suspension continuously causes the ball joints and control arm to damage yearly. The threat of a ball joint going out can cause a tire to detach and cause a serious wreck.
Driver seat electric lumbar support fails, and leads to back pain.
