TAKATA INFLATORS: I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LAST JULY 2016 AND HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. MY WIFE WILL NOT RIDE IN IT BECAUSE OF THIS. SHE HAS RECENTLY RECOVERED FROM 2 BOUTS OF CANCER AND DOES NOT WANT TO GET INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. WHEN CAN I EXPECT A REPLACEMENT?

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DURING AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR, MY CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AT HIGH RATE (STUCK AT 4000-5000 RPM) CAUSING ME TO SPEED DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH VERY LITTLE ABILITY TO STOP AS I HIT THE BRAKES BUT COULD NOT OVERCOME THE ACCELERATION. THINKING AS QUICKLY AS I COULD, I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL TO BRING THE CAR TO A CRAWL AND SLOWLY ROLL TO THE NEXT EXIT AND THEN TO A STOP. I WAS LUCKY TO THINK SO QUICKLY BECAUSE OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE RUN INTO THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME AS THE CAR SPED DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ABILITY TO STOP. I FEAR FOR OTHERS THAT MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IF THERE WAS A STOP AHEAD, IT COULD EASILY END IN LOSS OF LIFE. ONCE SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR, ONLY TO HAVE IT ROCCO TONGUE TO REV. AFTER TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT MY THROTTLE ELECTRONICS HAD MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE THROTTLE TO GET STUCK OPEN. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. FORD'S HANDLING OF IT, WHICH WAS TO SAY THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL-- FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES (SAFETY RECALL NUMBER 15S21/ NHTSA NUMBER 15V319) REGARDING DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAGS. MY DEALER PREFORMED THE RECALL ON THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG BUT FOR 2 YEARS HAS BEEN TELLING ME FORD HAS NOT SENT THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG REPAIR COMPLETED. ON 8/25/17 I CALLED FORD DIRECTLY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. YET THEY CONTINUE TO SEND ME RECALL NOTICES THAT SAY FAILURE TO FIX THE RECALL CAN RESULT " SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." SEEMS LIKE FORD IS NOT MAKING A SERIOUS EFFORT TO FIX THIS KNOWN DANGEROUS CONDITION. ALSO, HOW MANY VEHICLES WILL CHANGE HANDS WHERE THE NEW OWNER WILL NEVER RECEIVE NOTICE OF THE RECALL OR THE DANGERS ARISING FROM FAILURE TO REPAIR THE RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL--DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR WAS REPAIRED JULY 2016. IN JUNE 2016 RECEIVED ADDITIONAL RECALL FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE NOTIFICATION. MY VEHICLE IS IN THE PRIORITY DUE TO AGE AND I AM ZONE 1. I CONTACTED THE DEALER IN OCTOBER 2016 AND WAS ADVISED THEY EXPECTED PARTS IN JANUARY 2017. AS OF THIS DATE I HAVE HEARD NOTHING . WE ARE AT RISK FOR LIABILITY IF I CARRY A PASSENGER. IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT RESOLUTION AFTER WAITING A YEAR AND HAVING A PRIORITY VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM WITH THE BULLITT PACKAGE AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE HOOD SUDDENLY OPENED AND WAS CAUGHT BY THE SAFETY LATCH. I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO JARRETT-GORDON FORD WINTER HAVEN AND THEY ADJUSTED THE HOOD LATCH. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND I HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF THE HOOD OPENING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN WHICH THE SAFETY LATCH PREVENTED A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AGAIN TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER - JARRETT-GORDON FORD WINTER HAVEN AND THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM. THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND NO FURTHER INCIDENTS OCCURRED.
