1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2018

The passenger side airbag deployed while I was driving the vehicle. The vehicle was not involved in an accident nor did it contact any object, vehicle or otherwise. I was simply driving the vehicle at the posted speed, under dry conditions, on a straight asphalt 2 lane public road when the passenger airbag deployed. I contacted my local Ford dealer and explained what happened. The Ford dealer instructed me to bring the vehicle to the dealer where they would service it by replacing the airbag and defective inflator, whereby the inflator is under a recall. After dropping off my vehicle I was contacted by the dealer to tell me Ford motor company would not repair or replace the airbag module; and it was my (the consumer) responsibility to replace the airbag module.

Takata recall 17s01. Passenger front airbag inflator could rupture if this vehicle is involved in a crash. Waiting for months for a remedy. Dealer admitted, levittown Ford in NY, that only southern states are getting the parts for this repair as of now, and that I will be notified. Ford states that it is safe to drive yet there is contradictory and inconsistent statements and evidence that supports a danger to the front passenger side. If the parts are available in southern states, there is no evidence that supports that northern states are less at risk of injury from a rupturing defective airbag. I am furious that I cannot put a front passenger in the car, with good conscience, that there could be a serious injury caused by this defect. Please look into the misleading recall status, "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available. " catching Ford in a lie will not lead to a good outcome for them should my car not get fixed soon.

Takata recall: after multiple attempts to schedule an appointment for both driver and passenger airbag inflator recalls to be completed over the past 2 years - they still remain unfixed. The last attempt finally secured an appointment (Saturday, July 8, 2017 - 4:00 pm). Upon arrival, I was informed that I needed to leave the vehicle for 5-7 days as no parts were available. When I asked if they had a rental/loaner program as I cannot be without transportation for that long, I was informed that they only have 40 loaners and they were all out. Then I was informed that they do not have a rental program. When I explained that this is my only form of transportation and I have been trying to have this completed for almost 2 years, I was advised I could either leave the vehicle or contact another dealer. Even after I explained that I fear for both my family's he repeated himself stating I could contact another dealer and was sent away. As we all know, this recall has not only caused seriously injuried, it has taken lives. I am asking for nyour assistance in getting these recalls completed. I value both mine and my family's lives. After 2 years parts should be available. Below you will find the dealer information: citrus motors Ford and kia 1375 s. Wooddruff way ontario, CA 91761 (800) 447-8907 after careful research, I understand that takata has filed bankruptcy and the vehicle manufacturers are no longer using their products. I know that there are 4 other vendors with available parts and there are no shortage of parts. Maybe Ford should communicate with american Honda motor company and take a pagenfrom their book. I know many Honda owners who have had their recalls completed without hesitation and/or issues with the company. Koodos to Honda, wish that I and my family as 3 generations loyal Ford owners would receive the same service.

Nhtsa recall 16v384 was issued a year ago for the passenger air bag inflator on my car. I phoned the Ford dealer today 6/26/2017 and was told that parts are still not available for the repair. If Ford can obtain millions of air bags for the new cars they have designed, manufactured, and sold since this recall was issued, it is unacceptable and inexcusable that they cannot obtain parts for this recall repair in a timely manner.

Because the back seats of this model of Mustang have limited space for legs, my vehicle is now limited to accommodating the driver only. This car was not purchased as a commuter vehicle and it appears that I will be looking at about two years where I can't use it. This seems like and extremely long fine to address this problem. Is there any other options for getting this fixed or replaced?.

Takata inflators - reference complaint no. 11006081 and no. 11006075 airbag r07eplacement - 2007 Mustang and 2008 fusion: I found the following information on a Honda website - "the �alpha� driver-front airbag inflators were the subject of the first takata airbag inflator recalls starting in 2008. In most cases, the previous owners of these affected vehicles did not replace the inflators under those recalls and, thus, the vehicles remain unrepaired. Now, because of the time that has passed, they are even more likely to rupture if the driver's airbag deploys in a crash. In fact, in testing done by takata, alpha inflators removed from vehicles in consistently hot and humid areas showed a rupture rate as high as 50 percent. " can I expect the same, higher percentage of kill rate, in the inflators in my 2007 Mustang and 2008 fusion as they age, as found by Honda? I will pay to have the airbags/inflators replaced - request your office provide the correct part numbers and recommended place to have the work correctly accomplished. I did not receive a response from your office to either referenced complain, any information your office can provide is appreciated. V/r, tom.
