49 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2016

Apparent takata recall, and I am having trouble getting anyone from Ford to help me get it done. First notice of any sort received in mail from Ford on June 27, 2016. Safety recall notice 15s21, NHTSA recall 15v-319. Says in part "parts are now available to report your vehicle. " and "please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for recall 15s21. " on June 28, I called lindsay Ford in wheaton MD which said it did not have parts and would not know when they would. I called koon's Ford in silver spring MD, which said parts would not be available until the fall. On June 30, I called the Ford customer relationship center to find out where to get this repaired; after interminable wait on their line, I finally spoke to a representative, who forwarded me to "kevin. " he was unable to determine when parts would be available in my area. I am concerned that Ford has now sent me a letter, the first notice of any issue with my car, and quite alarming; Ford told me to call dealer right away, which I did, and neither of two dealers I called nor the Ford customer relationship center can seem to help.

Failure Date: 04/14/2016

I called the safercar. Gov phone number regarding the status of my car's takata airbag recall since it has been almost a year since I received a letter stating my car is indeed affected by the recall. I was told to call the manufacturer of my car at 1-800-392-3673. Following the prompts, I was waiting on hold until my turn came up but was eventually cut off; I have called multiple times encountering the same issue. I am frustrated as to the time it is taking to replace these airbags with recently another life lost to faulty airbags. Please take the time to ensure these airbags are replaced quickly!!!.

58 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2016

Takata recall. My 2012 Ford Mustang was issued a recall for faulty airbags on 5-27-2015. The recall status on 4-8-2016 is still "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available. " I find this completely unacceptable. I saw on the news that there was another death caused by these exploding takata airbags. How many people have to die before NHTSA takes this seriously and makes Ford and other affected manufacturers start replacing these airbags? I feel completely unsafe driving this vehicle.

60 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/23/2016

Takata recall why doesn't ntsb, Ford,takata, somebody, give us some sort of projected date when parts may be available for this recall. We got a letter in July 2015 stating car needed attention and we would be notified when parts were in and repairs could be done. I know a Mazda owner whose car has been called in 3 times for this work. Yet Ford only says they don't have parts. Why not disarm the air bad as an intrim step, if nothing else. I'd rather take my chances with that than drive around with an air bag that can kill me. Somebody needs to tell Ford, and perhaps other product owners, what's going on here.

63 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2016

Takata recall I was notified last year that my car was recalled. Ford still does not have parts to fix or a plan to fix. This car is just sitting because I will not allow my children do drive a car that has been recalled for airbags that could cause death. How long does Ford have to repair? I have to pay insurance, personal property tax on a car we won't use. People also do not want to purchase my car because it has been recalled and not fixed. I called Ford and they said this is not a Ford issue it is a takata issue and I will be notified when the parts are available. In the mean time my car is depreciating and not being used. What is my recourse?.

64 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/17/2016

Takata recall I am just writing to complain that almost a year after we were first notified that our Mustang was included in this recall that not only has it not yet been rectified but that Ford still cannot give any kind of an eta as to when this might happen. It is unacceptable that my wife puts her life at risk every time she gets behind the wheel of her car and almost a year later they still cannot tell us when they are going to have parts to fix this.

65 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2016

Why is it that new cars have airbags not involved in recall, but those of us driving with the defective airbags cannot get ours replaced? because you are not forcing the auto industry to do it! auto makers would much rather pay out to individual physically maimed or killed per lawsuit, than to pay the millions to replace defective airbags. Shameful on your part!!.

I have asked the Ford dealership if there was a recall on my car because I received a letter some time ago and they deny that there is a recall. No attempt has been made to remedy this problem. I really would like to get this rectified before an accident happens.

69 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2015

Takata recall - in early November 2015 I was driving my 2012 Ford Mustang when I experienced a minor fender bender, less that 10 mph. Surprisingly, the airbags deployed causing my passenger, a young boy with a stomach bag and other illnesses to have to get checked in the hospital. Thank god he was not injured but he was very shaken up for many days because of his autism. The car was towed to bodyart collision center ((908-789-0330) to replace the airbags, which they have done. However, three months later my car is still sitting there because, although they were able to install the proper airbags, Ford has not yet been able to get approval for a newly designed replacement dashboard. Several mechanics have called to find after market dashboard but no one has them. Ford has also stopped manufacturing them, most likely because of the airbag recall. My mechanic, myself, my mother and anyone else I can find has called Ford customer service (heather 866-631-3788, ext. 7-7790, case no. Cas8338404) and their response is "we have no additional information to give you. " now they no longer return calls. We even sent an email to the ceo but have not even received an acknowledgement. In the meantime, I have no car, cannot afford to buy one, and am living with my mother so that I can use her car for errands, even though I now have to travel 40 minutes to get to work. I pay $1500+ monthly rent and I cant even live in my apartment. The frustration is overwhelming. I ask for any relief from Ford -- help with renting a car, a replacement car until they the government (I assume nhtca) approves the new dashboard, even a response that has a little more meat than the standard rhetoric from their customer service.

There is a recall on airbags and my 2 local dealers are not capable to make the repairs of this very dangerous condition. The dealers are stating that Ford has failed to supply the safe airbag correction which makes Ford's negligence about caring for the consumers a questionable situation. To Ford,. . You have a legal and moral responsibility to your customers!!! jwf 2012 Ford Mustang.
