FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OVER TIME, THE VEHICLE GAS TANK HAS DEVELOPED A CONDITION WHERE FILLING UP THE TANK PREMATURELY CAUSES THE GAS PUMP TO SHUT OFF PRIOR TO THE TANK BEING FULL OF GAS. TYPICALLY AFTER ONLY A FEW SECONDS. IF YOU TRY TO ENGAGE THE PUMP AGAIN, A BUILDUP OF PRESSURE CAN CAUSE GASOLINE TO SHOOT BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ALL OVER THE GROUND AND THE PERSON PUMPING GAS. THE ONLY WAY AROUND THIS IS TO FILL THE TANK WITH THE NOZZLE UPSIDE DOWN. SOMEHOW THIS DISENGAGES WHATEVER SAFETY MECHANISM THE GAS PUMP HAS, AND ALLOWS THE USER TO PUMP A FULL TANK OF GAS. FORD EVEN HAS A TSB RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. IT STATES SOMETHING TO THE POINT OF A DESIGN FLAW IN THE GAS TANK. IT'S ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE TANK, OR THEY LITERALLY SUGGEST GOING TO A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. SOME PUMPS ARE DIFFERENT AND THAT USED TO WORK, BUT AT THIS POINT THERE IS NOT PUMP THAT I DO NOT ENCOUNTER THIS ISSUE WITH.

HAD THE AIRBAG REPLACED/ WEEKS LATER HAD THE "FAULTY SEAL" PROBLEM FOLLOWED BY THE "SJM " BOX (SMART JUNCTION BOX) DESTROYED BY THE WATER DAMAGE DUE TO FAULTY SEAL. NOW THE SJM IS ON BACKORDER UNTIL AUG. 2016. SEAL ALREADY REPLACED IN MARCH/2016 WHEN ORDER PLACED FOR SJB. RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGAURDING 05-07 MUSTANG MODELS. DUE TO MAKE DESIGN. UNFORTUNATELY, RESULTING IN WINDOW MOTOR FAILURE, BATTERY DRAIN, HEADLIGHTS STUCK ON HIGH BEAMS, TURN SIGNALS STUCK ON, INSTURMENT CLUSTER MALFUNCTION AND DASH LIGHTS FAIL. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR ANY RECALL INFORMATION AND CIVIL SUITE/ CLASS ACTION. THE DANGERS AND THE NUMBERS ARE CLEAR, FORD NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ON THIS MATTER. THE FORD CUSTOMERS DESERVE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR LOSSES AND DAMAGES. ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF INDIVIDUALS WHOM ARE WAITING FOR THE SJM BOX TO BE MANUFACTURED DUE TO SHORTAGE OF MATERIALS.

TAKATA INFLATORS I RECEIVED A LETTER ADVISING MY MUSTANG WAS RECALLED DUE TO AIRBAGS I JUST SPOKE WITH UNIVERSITY FORD IN CHAPEL HILL NC AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WERE REPLACING RECALLED AIRBAG WITH SAME AIRBAG AS A TEMPERARY FIX TO SEND THE REMOVED AIRBAG TO FORD FOR STUDY. THEY WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH ME WHEN A PERMANENT FIX WAS AVAILABLE. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO REPLACE WITH A TEMPORARY FIX. MY OTHER VEHICLE A TOYOTA, AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY DEALER WITH NONE OF THIS RUN AROUND IF THERE IS A RECALL THEN I DESERVE TO HAVE A PERMANENT FIX NOT A TEMPORARY ONE. WHILE FORD IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET MY SON WHO DRIVES THIS CAR IS IN DANGER OF LOSING HIS LIFE. I KEAN THIS IS EITHER A RECALL OR A STALL AND SOUNDS LIKE FORD IS STALLING AT THE COST OF THE LIVES OF PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR CARS. WHY WOULD I REPLACE AN AIRBAG WITH ONE OF THE SAME TYPE WHEN THE REPLACEMENT MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE AND THE ONE THEY TOOK OUT FOR STUDY MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE FINE. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AS THE OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE. TOYOTA DID NOT DO A TEMPORARY FIX, THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED MY NOTICE OF RECALL FOR DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DATED MAY 21, 2015. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE INFORMED WHEN A REPLACEMENT WAS AVAILABLE AND TO JUST WAIT UNTIL THEN TO CALL AGAIN. AS OF APRIL 11 2016 NO WORD FROM FORD OR MY LOCAL DEALER. WHEN I CALL THEM I AM TOLD " WE DON'T KNOW WHEN" THEN SAY MAYBE IN 3 TO SIX MONTHS. THEY ALSO HAVE SAID THAT AS MY CAR IS A FLORIDA CAR IT IS A PRIORITY. 11 MONTHS GONE AND 3 TO 6 MONTHS TO GO FOR A PRIORITY CAR. YOUR SITE SAYS THAT MANY BAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT I CAN'T EVEN GET A GOOD TIME TABLE. HOW CAN I GET THE TRUTH FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY?

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL 15S21 - PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE FOR THIS FIX SINCE JULY 2015. LIVE IN HIGH HUMIDITY AREA - HAVE TWO MUSTANGS THAT NEED THE RECALL FIX DONE AND THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO GET THE PARTS. HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO FIX A CRITICAL ISSUE. RECALL IS USELESS WITHOUT THE AVAILABLE PARTS - THIS IS TOO LONG AFTER A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PARTS TO STILL BE UNAVAILABLE. PLEASE NOTIFY WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR FORD. OTHER AUTO COMPANIES (HONDA) HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE FIX - BUT NOT FORD FOR THE MUSTANGS.
