TAKATA RECALL I PURCHASED A USED 2005 FORD MUSTANG FROM TIDELAND FORD IN PAWLEYS ISLAND S.C WHEN I CHECKED ON THE RECALL LIST MY CAR WAS ON THE LIST FOR TAKATA AIRBAG, I WENT TO THE DEALER TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD IT WASN,T THEY CLAIM MY AIRBAG IS OF THEE OLD FORD STYLE NOT THE SAME AS THE NEWER FORDS AND FORD WILL BE REPLACING THE NEWER ONES FIRST AND NOT TO HOLD MY BREATH ON MINE GETTING MINE FIXED IN THE NEAR FUTURE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO OLD STYLE IN INVENTORY. AS ILIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA , WHICH IS THE CLIMATE TO CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO FAIL. NOW I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF TIDELAND AS THEY HAVE BEEN HONEST AND AS HELPFUL AS THEY COULD BUT CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL FORD SUPPLIES THEM WITH THE APPROPRIATE REPLACEMENT. I AM WORRIED EACH TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AS IT IS TEN YEARS OLD, AND PROBABLY ABOUT TO FAIL WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HAVE FORD ALSO SUPPLY THERE DEALERS WITH THE CORRECT PARTS TO FIX MY CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DEFECT IN UNDER COWL DRAINAGE LEADS TO RAINWATER LEAKING INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. WATER DRAINS DOWN WIRING HARNESS INTO THE SMART JUNCTION BOX CASING ELECTRICAL SHORTS THAT AT FIRST CAUSED THE RIGHT HEADLAMP TO SHUTDOWN AFTER 15 SECONDS. RECYCLING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH BRINGS THE HEADLIGHT BACK ON FOR ANOTHER 15 SECONDS. THIS CONDITION RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE FROM SUNSET TO SUNRISE. NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP HAS BEGUN THE SAME PROBLEM. I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER HAS NO PART AVAILABLE TO FIX. THEY INITIALLY INFORMED ME THAT THE SMJ WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE LAST SEPTEMBER. THAT HAS NOW BEEN PUSHED BACK TO FEBRUARY OF 2016. THEY WANT OVER $400 FOR THE PART PLUS ADDITIONAL LABOR TO PROGRAM AND INSTALL A COMPONENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. THIS PROBLEM IS ALREADY COVERED UNDER A TSB AND THE DEFECT CAN CAUSE A MULTITUDE OF MALFUNCTIONS THAT COULD EASILY RESULT IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS. I JUST RECENTLY CHECKED AND FOUND OVER 286 REPORTS ON FILE WITH NHTSA, YET NO APPARENT INVESTIGATIONS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED, NOR A RECALL. IT IS MY SINCER HOPE THAT NHTSA IS NOT WAITING FOR A BODY COUNT BEFORE TAKING ACTION.
