AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (15S21/NHTSA RECALL 15V-319) IN JULY 2015. I CALL THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON A REGULAR BASIS AND AM TOLD EACH TIME THAT FORD IS WAITING FOR PARTS. THIS RECALL INVOLVES UNSAFE AIR BAGS. I BELEIVE THAT 5 MONTHS IS WAY TOO LONG TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR PARTS TO FIX A DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. PLEASE ASSIST.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK OR NEUTRAL POSITION TO DRIVE, THE CAR SURGES FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVEWAY STATIONARY AND INTERMITTENTLY AT A STOPLIGHT. THE DATE BELOW THAT IS REQUIRED IS INCORRECT; IT HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE I GOT THE CAR I BELIEVE IN FEB 2005, BUT I DIDN'T THINK OF IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL IT WAS PASSED DOWN TO MY DAUGHTER THIS YEAR; FOR SOMEONE THAT ISN'T PREPARED, IT COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS 2005 MUSTANG WAS BOUGHT USED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS WE NOTICED THE MESSENGER SIDE FLOOR WOULD BE WET WHEN IT RAINED. SOON AFTER THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE REPAIR. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE HEAT AND AIR CONTROL UNIT WENT OUT. THESE TWO REPAIRS COST OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX. ON OCTOBER 102015 WHILE AT THE DRIVE UP TELLER AT A BANK THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. TRIED SHUTTING IT OFF BUT WOULD NOT RESTART. SEEMED TO HAVE COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. NO LIGHTS GAUGES OR ANYTHING ELECTRICAL WOULD WORK. IT WAS RAINING. AFTER JUMPING THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME. WE INSPECTED THE ECU AND FOUND GREEN AND WHITE CORROSION INDICATING WATER HAD BEEN GETTING INSIDE THE BOX. WHEN I CALLED FORD THEY TOOK A REPORT BUT SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS THERE WAS A RECALL. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED TSB 07-14-6

AIR BAGS, SEATS
HIGHWAY CRASH AT 75 MPH. THE MUSTANG HIT A VEHICLE THAT JUMPED THE MEDIAN . NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT . I NEVER HAD A WARNING LIGHT OR ANY INDICATION THAT THE SRS SYSTEM WAS AT FAULT . THIS MUSTANG HAD A FULL FRONTAL IMPACT . I DID CONTACT FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD { YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LITIGATE A CASE AGAINST US } I WOULD HAVE TO PROVE THAT IF THE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY MY INJURY'S WOULD OF BEEN LESS SERIOUS . I DID BRAKE MY NECK FROM THE IMPACT .I'M SURE THE AIRBAG WOULD HAVE HELPED ME...
