AIR BAGS
FORD SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE TELLING ME NOT TO ALLOW ANY PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. THIS IS MY WORK CAR AS I AM IN REAL ESTATE AND THE LOSS OF THE CAR WOULD SERIOUSLY AFFECT MY BUSINESS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO FORD LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY AND THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER CAR AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT REGARDLESS OF THE EFFECT ON MY BUSINESS. CAN YOU HELP TO DIRECT ME TO THE RIGHT AREA TO COMPLAIN.

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL AS WELL AS PROBLEMS FILLING THE GAS TANK. WHILE STATIONARY TRYING TO PUMP GAS IN TO THE GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AFTER PUMPING NO ORE THAN 1/16 OF A TANK THEN REQUIRING YOU TO DRIBBLE GAS IN TO THE TANK WITH THE PUMP REGULARLY SHUTTING OFF EVERY FEW SECONDS AND NEVER FILLING THE TANK WITH OUT THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY, AND THIS HAPPENS AT ALL PUMPS IN EVERY STATE AND EVERY BRAND OF GAS. ONCE YOU PUMP AS MUCH GAS AS THE PUMP WILL ALLOW YOU HAVE TO HOLD TE THROTTLE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR TO START AND THEN YOU HAVE TO FEATHER THE PEDAL TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO RACE AND IS VERY DANGEROUS.

TAKATA RECALL--I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN JUNE OF 2016. MY COMPLAINT IS WITH FORD'S LACK OF RESPONSE: A YEAR AND A HALF LATER THEY STILL HAVE NOT PROVIDED REPAIRS FOR THIS RECALL. A LETTER MAILED IN DECEMBER 2017 SAID THE REMEDY PARTS ARE STILL DELAYED. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE.

TAKATA RECALL. FORD SENT A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE DATED DECEMBER 2017, IN REGARDS TO A PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR: 16S26. IN THIS LETTER, FORD TELLS ME THERE WILL BE NO PARTS AVAILABLE UNTIL AT A MINIMUM OF SPRING 2018, AND WORD FOR FORD: "WARNING: UNTIL REMEDY PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FIRST ROW PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIR BAG COULD RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT IN A CRASH AND CAUSE INJURIES OR DEATH. WHEN THE FRONT ROW PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, ELIMINATING THE RISK." FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS STATED THERE ARE NO LOANERS DUE TO THIS..JUST THAT I CANNOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, AND FIND IT RIDICULOUS MY ONLY OPTION IS TO NOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS. FORD NEEDS TO LEGALLY PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR AS THEY FEEL THEY DON'T NEED TO ASSIST THE CUSTOMERS THEY ARE PUTTING IN DANGER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW MARCH 1, 2005. I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE THROUGH THE DEALER. IN 2011 - WATER POURING IN UNDER DASH FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE LEAK. I STARTED TO WET VACUUMING THE WATER OUT. THEN THE CAR STARTED TO SMELL LIKE MOLD. I FINALLY CALLED MY NEPHEW WHO WORKS FOR FORD IN ANOTHER CITY. HE CLEANED OUT THE DRAIN IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIED OUT THE CAR. WHY DIDN'T THE MECHANIC AT LANDMARK KNOW ABOUT THE DRAIN? AROUND THIS TIME THE CAR STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK ITSELF WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. CALLED DEALER NO HELP. CALLED NEPHEW HE SAID WIRING ISSUE. THE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING STOPPED. SINCE THEN THE LOCKS TRY TO RELOCK ANYTIME I ACCELERATED FROM A FULL STOP. I HAVE FOUND MY WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN. I NEVER LEAVE MY WINDOWS DOWN. I AM A BIG STICKLER WHEN IT COMES TO LOCKING MY CAR UP AND I DON'T LEAVE MY WINDOWS DOWN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS LAST WEEK. NEXT CAME THE TRUNK. IT WOULD UNLOCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FINALLY REMOVED THE FUSE TO MAKE IT STOP. THE NEXT FAIL WAS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. NOTHING WORKS RIGHT. SPORADICALLY THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS BUT CAN STOP ANY TIME. LUCKILY THE ODOMETER WORKS SO I USE THE TRIP METER TO KNOW WHEN TO GET GAS. RIGHT NOW MY CAR LIES DEAD IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CD CHANGER STARTED SHUFFLING CD'S WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING OR PARKED. PROBLEM WAS IT HAD NOT BEEN TURNED ON. I HAVE ON OCCASION SMELLED SMOKE IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. FROM RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, EVIDENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTING OUT DUE TO WATER GETTING INTO THE FUSE BOX DUE TO THE DRAIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 107000 MILES ON IT. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAS KNOW. THEY NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT. OH AND TO TOP IT OFF, I TOOK IT TO A FORD SPECIALIST AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. $370 LATER MY CAR IS STILL DEAD.

TAKATA RECALL- MY SON HAS RECEIVED AN INITIAL REPLACEMENT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG. THERE WAS A FIX BEFORE THE PART WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE. HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REMAINS A RISK TO ANY PASSENGER THAT RIDES WITH HIM. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX AVAILABLE. THE RECALL BEGAN IN JUNE 2016 FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I DO NOT WANT ANY OF HIS SIBLINGS OR FRIENDS RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS SAFE.
