VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN THE GAS PEDAL STUCK AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I TRIED TO STOMP ON THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. TRIED TO TURN THE KEY, BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO TURN. FINALLY STOMPED REPEATEDLY ON THE GAS PEDAL UNTIL IT RELEASED AND STOPPED ACCELERATING. THERE WAS NOTHING UNDER THE PEDAL CAUSING IT TO HANG. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT IN THE WAY. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD NARROWLY MISSED HAVING AN ACCIDENT. HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE I GOT IT HOME.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL YEARS AGO REGARDING MY 2008 FORD MUSTANG. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR, AS WELL AS OTHER DEALERS IN MY AREA TRYING TO GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED/REPAIRED. ALL OF THE DEALERSHIPS SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS, THAT PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD BE IN NEXT FEW MONTHS. I GOT THIS SAME SPEECH EVERY TIME I CALLED. I CALLED MY DEALER AT LEAST ONCE PER MONTH. ITS HAS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS AND MY AIRBAG HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. I HAVE CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL. LAST WEEK A RECEIVED A LEGAL NOTICE REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAG COMPANY FILING CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY. I AM DRIVING IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CAR. I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR 9 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SELL IT OR TRADE IT IN ON A NEW VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE NO DEALERSHIP OR PRIVATE BUYER WILL TRADE OR BUY A CAR WITH AN OPEN SAFETY RECALL. ALSO, FORD MOTOR COMPANY ADVISED ME THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL A CAR WITH AN OPEN SAFETY RECALL. UNTIL I RECEIVE A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG, I AM NOT ABLE TO SELL OR TRADE. ALL THE WHILE, MY CAR IS DEPRECIATING IN VALUE. THIS ISSUE HAS CREATED A PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL LOSS TO ME AND IS PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED NOTICE IN JULY OF 2016 THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON OUR MUSTANG. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 2017 AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX AVAILABLE. THE LETTER STATED THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG COULD RUPTURE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OF DEATH. WE RECENTLY DECIDED TO TRADE THE CAR IN ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE RECALL, THE CAR CAN'T BE RESOLD.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY AIRBAGS ARE DEFECT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS REPLACED BY FORD DEALERSHIP BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS STILL NOT BEEN REPLACED SO NO ONE CAN RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE WENT BACK TO FORD DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT I KEEP BEING TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT YET. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND SO WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR SINCE IT IS DANGEROUS FOR MY WIFE TO RIDE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT.
