TAKATA RECALL - WE RECEIVED A LETTER FOR THIS RECALL IN JULY 2016. WE IMMEDIATELY CALL OUR LOCAL LEXINGTON SOUTH CAROLINA FORD DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK OUR INFORMATION AND TOLD US THEY WOULD CALL US WHEN THE PART CAME IN. WE HAVE NOT BEEN CALLED AND IT IS JANUARY. WE DID CALL BACK IN OCTOBER TOO FOLLOW UP AND THEY HAD NO INFORMATION EXCEPT TO WAIT. ACCORDING TO THEIR LETTER THIS IS A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION - WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE COMPANY CAN TELL US THE PART IS HERE - YET WHEN WE CALL THE DEALER, THEY KNEW NOTHING, STILL KNEW NOTHING THREE MONTHS LATER AND STILL SIX MONTHS LATER. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED - IF WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTED BY THESE LAWS, THEN WHY AREN'T THEY BEING ENFORCED? THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

TAKATA RECALL: TO STATE THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE GOVERNMENT, WHO IN TURN SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE CONSUMER, TO ENSURE A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY AND/OR DEATH IS RESOLVED BY WHATEVER MEANS ARE NECESSARY TO PROTECT CONSUMERS. OTHER (FOREIGN) MANUFACTURERS ARE IMPOUNDING THEIR VEHICLES AND PROVIDING (SAFE) VEHICLES TO THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THE DURATION UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED--FREE OF CHARGE! WHY CANNOT A U.S. MANUFACTURER BE HELD TO THE SAME STANDARD?

TAKATA INFLATORS. DUE TO THE OUTSTANDING RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ON MY MUSTANG, MY FORD DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT TAKE IN AS A TRADE OR WOULD HAVE TO OFFER ME LESS THEN THE CAR WOULD BE WORTH AS A TRADE IN BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT RESELL THE CAR AND WOULD TAKE IT STRAIGHT TO AUCTION. SINCE FORD WAS ORIGINALLY RESPONSIBLE AS THEY ARE THE MANUFACTURER THAT INSTALLED THIS AIR BAG WHEN THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED, AND THIS IS THE REASON THAT THE VEHICLE HAS THIS ISSUE, THEY SHOULD BE STEPPING UP AND COMPENSATING EITHER THE OWNER OR ANY DEALER THAT WOULD TAKE THIS CAR IN ON TRADE FOR ANY LOSS IN VALUE SO THAT THE PRESENT OWNER IS NOT TIED TO A VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE LOST VALUE DUE TO THIS RECALL ISSUE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE ACCELERATOR WAS BEING DEPRESSED SLIGHTLY TO EITHER MAINTAIN OR SLOWLY ACCELERATE TO A SPEED BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. THE GAS PEDAL THEN PRESSED TO THE FLOOR ON ITS OWN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV LOUDLY AND ACCELERATE TO BEYOND 50 MPH ON THE FIRST INCIDENT (NEARLY 70 ON THE SECOND MAJOR INCIDENT). WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. BRAKING ONLY SLOWED THE RATE OF ACCELERATION. PRESSING IN THE CLUTCH WAS INEFFECTIVE. THE INCIDENTS ARE RANDOM. NO IMMEDIATE CAUSE HAS BEEN DETERMINED. BOTH TIMES, THE DRIVER AND FELLOW DRIVERS WERE ENDANGERED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF CONTROL CAUSED BY THE INCIDENT. THANKFULLY, NO CRASHES HAVE ENSUED YET. NOTHING SHORT OF TURNING OFF THE ENGINE ENTIRELY AFFECTS THE INCIDENT AS IT OCCURS WHICH CAUSES FURTHER ENDANGERMENT. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ROUGHLY 4 TIMES IN THE SPAN OF ONE MONTH'S TIME. TWO WERE MINOR CASES IN WHICH THE ACCELERATOR RIGHTED ITSELF QUICKLY. THE OTHER TWO WERE MAJOR INCIDENTS RESULTING IN LACK OF SPEED AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS BELIEVED THE ISSUE IS ARISING FROM THE MECHANICAL NATURE OF THE ACCELERATOR. WHEREAS MOST VEHICLES ARE A SINGLE PIECE PEDAL, THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR IS A TWO-PIECE MECHANISM. UPON RESEARCHING SIMILAR INCIDENTS, IT HAS BEEN MADE KNOWN THAT THIS ISSUE ARISES IN THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS, SOME OTHERS. HOWEVER, THE COMPANY REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT FURTHER INCIDENTS WHICH, QUITE FRANKLY, IS RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY. NO REPAIR INVOICES, POLICE ACCIDENT REPORTS, INSURANCE CLAIM FORMS, ETC. HAVE BEEN FILED AS THESE INCIDENTS HAVE ONLY OCCURRED OVER THE COURSE OF THE MOST PREVIOUS MONTH. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED PROMPTLY BY THE COMPANY.

TAKATA RECALL - MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED TWICE. I RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL RECALL LETTER (16S26) FROM FORD LAST SUMMER, STATING THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALMOST SIX MONTHS LATER, THEY STILL HAVE NOT RELEASED PARTS TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CARRY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR FOR THAT ENTIRE TIME. PLEASE DO ALL YOU CAN TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER RELEASE THE PARTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I HAVE HAD 2 RECALLS, FOR BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. IN BOTH INSTANCES, IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO GET THESE REPLACED. MEANTIME I AM DRIVING AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL MINE IS REPAIRED, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T DO THAT. IT WAS BAD ENOUGH WHEN IT WAS ON MY SIDE, BUT NOW IT'S ON THE SIDE WHERE MY MOTHER, WHO SUFFERS FROM DEMENTIA, USUALLY SITS. I HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT WITH HER, WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND INJURING OR KILLING HER. I PURCHASED THEIR PRODUCT IN GOOD FAITH, AND NOW, THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND IN A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP. I DON'T THINK ASKING FOR A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT VEHICLE IS AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER IT HEATS UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THESE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE USED VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX. THEY REPLACED O2 SENSORS AND I GOT IT BACK LAST NIGHT AND TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN AND THE RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE SAFELY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. I DROVE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN, SO AGAIN I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REACH MY FINAL DESTINATION.
