TAKATA INFLATORS. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE SUMMER OF 2,015 FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY STATING THAT THEY HAD FOUND THAT MY 2008 MUSTANG V6 PREMIUM CONVERTIBLE WAS FOUND TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG AND THAT IF IT DEPLOYED, I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AND THAT IT COULD DEPLOY UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES EVEN IF THE CAR WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY SAID I WOULD BE NOTIFIED TO TAKE MY CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHEN A REPLACEMENT WAS AVAILABLE. I HAVE CHECKED MANY TIMES SINCE WITH MY LOCAL DEALER (ACTON FORD, ACTON MASSACHUSETTS) AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NO REPLACEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN ANY WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE. I ASKED TO HAVE THE AIR BAG DISABLED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE AND I EVEN OFFERED TO SIGN A RELEASE STATING THAT I WOULD NOT HOLD THEM OR FORD MOTOR COMPANY LIABLE FOR ANY RESULTS IF THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A NON FUNCTIONING DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG AND THEY REFUSED THAT AS WELL. SO I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT COULD NOT BE SOLD ON A PRIVATE SALE AND IS ABOUT WORTHLESS AS A TRADE IN FOR A DIFFERENT AUTOMOBILE! I AM DO DISGUSTED WITH THE UTTER LACK OF ANY INTEREST TO RECTIFY THIS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SITUATION AND I HAVE BEEN A VERY FAITHFUL CUSTOMER OF FORD PRODUCTS AND THIS FORD DEALER.

DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. I CALLED FORD DIRECTLY IN AUGUST 2015 TO FIND OUT WHEN I COULD SCHEDULE MY CAR FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD IN Q3 OF 2015 I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION. ON DECEMBER 22, 2015 I CALLED FORD AGAIN FOR STATUS AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO TIME ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE REPAIR WOULD BE COMPLETED ONLY THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A FIRST CLASS LETTER. I ASKED IF ANYONE AT FORD COULD ESTIMATE THE TIME OF REPAIR AND WAS TOLD NO. I SAID THAT THEY MUST BE RECEIVING A STEADY STREAM OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AND I CONSIDERED THIS A DANGEROUS EVEN LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHEN THE REPAIR WOULD BE COMPLETED.

WHEN ARE THESE 2008'S GOING TO BE REPAIRED, AS THEY ARE LISTED AS THE MOST VULNERABLE, BECAUSE OF THE YEAR AND THE LOCATION (FLORIDA) OF THE VEHICLE? I AM PARANOID ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR NOW. I RESENT THE FACT THAT FORD DID NOT RECALL THE CAR OFF-THE-ROAD BACK IN '08, LET ALONE THE DEALER RE-SELLING IT TO ME IN 2012. THE HIGH POTENTIAL OF A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAKES IT A LOST VALUE TO ME IN MANY WAYS. WHY ISN'T FORD BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE? WHY AREN'T THESE CARS BEING PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND REPAIRED BEFORE, THE NEW MODELS ARE BEING SOLD? I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY 2015 OF THE RECALL. A LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME, THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT POSSIBLY BE FIXED TILL THE SECOND QUARTER NOW OF 2016. AM I SUPPOSED TO BECOME A VICTIM, IN USING THE CAR AND THEN FACING A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT?
