AIR BAGS
I have documented eight separate unsuccessful attempts to repair outstanding recalls on my vehicle due to Ford’s repeated refusal and continued failure to provide a loaner vehicle for the duration of the repair. Whether the required time is half-day or one week it makes no difference, I cannot run my business without a vehicle. Please advise how to proceed. Thanks

POWER TRAIN, SEATS, SUSPENSION
THE 2006 FORD MUSTANG V6 COUPE SEATS POSE A DANGEROUS THREAT NOT ONLY FOR THE WAY THEY ARE BOLTED INTO THE CAR'S FRAME AND RUST AWAY BUT THE FACT THE SIDES OF THE SEAT CLOTH RIPS AWAY, EXPOSING THE INTERNAL STUFFING. AS STUFFING FALLS OUT, THE SEAT'S SOLID STRUCTURE IS LEFT, WHICH WILL CAUSE A SEVERE BACK INJURY IF IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE 2006 FORD MUSTANG V6 COUPE MANUEL TRANSMISSION SYNCHRONIZER POSES A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE SECOND GEAR NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, POSING A SEVERE THREAT IN SWITCHING GEARS AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE SUSPENSION CONTINUOUSLY CAUSES THE BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARM TO DAMAGE YEARLY. THE THREAT OF A BALL JOINT GOING OUT CAN CAUSE A TIRE TO DETACH AND CAUSE A SERIOUS WRECK.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING NORTH ON WILMA RUDOLPH BLVD AT 45-50 MPH IN CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE AND ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN BRAKES DID NOT APPLY. SHE ATTEMPTED TO GO AROUND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER DIRECTION OF TRAVEL AND REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER QUADRANT. UPON REAR-ENDING THE VEHICLE, SHE HIT HER HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL THEN A SPLIT SECOND LATER AS HER HEAD WAS RETURNING TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED "AFTER" AND "LATE". THIS AIRBAG WAS PART OF A FORD RECALL AND HAD BEEN REPLACED AT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE HAD THE BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICED IN DECEMBER OF 2018 AND WE HAD INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP OF BRAKE SYSTEM FEELING "SPONGY". THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE SYSTEM.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE "WELL" UNDERNEATH THE WINDSHIELD BECAME CLOGGED WITH DEBRIS, CAUSING WATER TO BACK UP THROUGH THE A/C VENTS INTO THE CAR, DAMAGING THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL RELATED TO SERVICING THIS PART OF THE CAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE DOOR HANDLES CAN BECOME "STUCK" IN THE OPEN POSITION WITHOUT THE DRIVER NOTICING BECAUSE THE DOOR STILL CLOSES; HOWEVER, THE DOORS MAY COME BACK OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED. *TR

2006 MUSTANG GT: TOOK THE CAR TO HOLMAN FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. WHEN REMOVING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THE THREADED HOLES ON BOTH THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY AND THE HOLES ON THE FRAME OF THE CAR WERE STRIPPED. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE THE ASSEMBLY BACK ONTO THE CAR SAFELY. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE FOR A REMEDY. IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE I DROPPED THE CAR OFF FOR THE RECALL AND OTHER NON RELATED REPAIRS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CORPORATE AND WAS ISSUED A CASE NUMBER. IT'S BEEN A WEEK WITH NO RESPONSE FROM CORPORATE OR THE DEALERSHIP. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF AND WHEN THE REPAIR IS DONE, WILL THE REPAIR BE DONE CORRECTLY AND WILL THE CAR BE SAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL AS IF ANY REPAIR IS DONE IT WILL BE JUST BE A QUICK FIX AND NOT SAFE. I'M AT THE MERCY OF THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS POINT TO RETURN MY CAR IN A SAFE AND SECURE CONDITION. I HAVE A FEW PICTURES THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME SHOWING THE STRIPPED THREADED HOLES. AT THIS POINT I'M NOT SURE WHAT COURSE OF ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN. I GET RECALL NOTICES ON A WEEKLY BASIS WHICH INFURIATES ME CONSIDERING I HAVEN'T HAD MY CAR FOR 2 MONTHS FOR THAT EXACT ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
IN MY FORD MUSTANG AND MANY OTHER FORD MUSTANG THTA IV COME ACROSS FROM THE 2005-2007 ERA THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE A SLIPPING PROBLEM. WHEN U STOP AND TRY TO CHANGE GEARS THE CAR STUTTERS AND EVEN TAKE UP TO 4 SEC TO CHANGE GEAR EVEN WHEN THE DRIVER ONLY USES THE CAR AS AN EVERYDAY COMUTE. NO RACING, DRIFTING OR HEAVE PRESSEURE PUT ON THE TRANSMISSION YET THEY STILL GO BAD AND START TO SLIP CONSISTANTLY EVEN WHEN THE CAR DOESNT HAVE ALOT OF MILES ON IT. MOST OF THE TIME LESS THAN 60,000.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I DON'T OWN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. TRANSFERRED TITLE TO MY EX SPOUSE IN 7/18. MARYLAND MVA CONFIRMS VEHICLE RETITLED. I KEEP GETTING NOTICES FOR RECALL WITH MY PA ADDRESS ON THEM AND FORD WON'T CHANGE OWNER NAME OR ADDRESS. THEY ACTUALLY SEND THE RECALLS TO ME IN ANOTHER STATE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN TITLED OR REGISTERED IN. I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED TO GET FORD TO SEND THE RECALL NOTICES TO MY FORMER SPOUSE WHO HAS THIS VEHICLE. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO COMMUNICATE TO EACH OTHER DUE TO "NO CONTACT" ORDERS IN PLACE. I THINK MY FORMER SPOUSE HAS A RIGHT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BUT I CAN'T OR HAVE ANYONE I KNOW FORWARD THESE NOTICES TO THEM AND FORD JUST SITS THERE AND DOES NOTHING. I HAVE EVEN WENT TO THE POINT OF HAVING A LETTER SENT TO ME BY THE MARYLAND MVA CONFIRMING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RE TITLED AND HAS A NEW OWNER AND FORD STILL WON'T ACCEPT THAT, THEY INSIST THEIR "THIRD PARTY" COMPANY GETS THE INFORMATION FROM THE REGISTERED VEHICLES IN EACH STATE. THE REGISTRATION FOR THIS VEHICLE WAS CANCELLED IN MY NAME AND THE PLATES WERE RETURNED TO THE MARYLAND MVA MONTHS AGO. THE LATEST RECALL NOTICE CAME YESTERDAY. IS IT GOING TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT OR POSSIBLE DEATH AND LAWSUIT FOR FORD TO COMPLY AND CHANGE THE OWNER INFORMATION? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET THIS CORRECTED. I KEEP GETTING THE RUNAROUND AND APPARENTLY IT IS VERY CRITICAL THAT IT IS ADDRESSED.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS TAKEN A YEAR FOR ME TO FINALLY GET MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS RECALL. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WOULD TRANSFER ME TO THE RECALL DEPARTMENT AND THEN I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE, THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK. WHEN I AM ON BREAK FROM SCHOOL IS THE ONLY TIME I CAN ATTEMPT TO GET THE CAR IN BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT OFFER A LOANER CAR. I CALL REPEATEDLY THE ENTIRE BREAK 2-3 WEEKS AND FINALLY I HAD TO REACH OUT TO THE FURTHER DEALERSHIP TO FINALLY GET BACK TO ME. AGAIN NO LOANER FROM THEM EITHER. THEY OFFERED A SHUTTLE AND SPOKE AS IF IT IS QUICK, I HAD TO WAIT 80 MINUTES FOR A SHUTTLE ALONG WITH OVER 10 PEOPLE WHO ALSO NEEDED A RIDE. THEY ONLY HAD ONE SHUTTLE TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE HOME FOR EVERYONE. I ENDED UP PAYING FOR A TAXI HOME DUE TO MEETINGS I HAD TO GET READY FOR AND THE TAXI ARRIVED BEFORE THE SHUTTLE AFTER I WAITED 80 MINUTES.
