4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/09/2020

I had problems with my fuel injection for almost 2 years looked it up and even took it to 3 dealerships and a full services place all saying the same thing. So I looked it up and there was a recall for it and seatbelts and airbags but my VIN# wasn't on the list. Everyone I know who got a car like mines had the recall and was fixed. I am now paying out of pocket for the airbags and my radio and back cam now is acting crazy show upside down and the radio keep going out. I need some help can't afford all these issues with my car when they are on your recall list . Please if you can re-evaluate my number the back cam acts up when backing up everything is upside down. The fuel injection have problems when starting and while driving it will slow down then caught up and speed up. The airbags recently came out getting it fix by a body shop and paying out of pocket to keep my insurance from totaling it out. The seat belts keep locking up at times. Love my car please help if possible.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

I I purchased this 2013 Ford Taurus sho awd twin turbo about 3 yrs ago used from the first owner so I'm the second owner. The car was in perfect condition. No accidents super clean totally loaded except no nav and screen controls for all the other cell phone apps and I even went for upgrade from sync 2 my touch w/no nav to the newest sync 3 3. 5 from a 2018 vehicle changed everything it works great. I can tell the car was taken care of by him he put very nice tsw wheels and very expensive continental contitrack tires that are abut 300. 00 a piece weathertech rain guards mats front and rear as well as the trunk. It was such a beatiful car. I bought it in the summer,when winter came all the problems started front suspension creaking struts no more back up camera working but fuzzy and upside down. And to replace it 300. 00 now and this is the kick in the ass my wife was driving with my 2 newborn twin grand daughters my 6 yr old niece as well as my 88 yr old mother just exiting off a jug handle thats how you make a left turn in the state of NJ,and it's a circle well she straight into the divider blowing out both front tires and cracking the left front rim and bending the right one. Lower front bumper valance as well as damage to the under carriage . I thank god that my family wasn't killed. I'm furious and I may be taking legal action holding Ford personally liable the recall with the steering needs t be taken care of by Ford always on its not drivable and unsafe.
