2006 Ford Mustang Gt

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A FAMILIAR NARROW WINDING ROAD, AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, APPROACHING A CURVE TO THE RIGHT, WHEN IT SUDDENLY UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED. THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSED THE CAR TO PLUNGE OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DOWN A VERY STEEP BUMPY HILL SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET BEFORE FINALLY STOPPING. I WAS FRANTICALLY APPLYING THE BRAKES, BUT THEY SEEMED NONEFFECTIVE. THE CAR IS TOTALED, THERE IS PROPERTY DAMAGE, I WAS CHARGED WITH RECKLESS OPERATION, MY BACK IS INJURED. NOW I AM STRUGGLING TO PROVE THAT NONE OF THIS IS MY FAULT.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS ISSUED A PASSENGER SIDE TAKATA RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE, 2016. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V384. IT IS A FULL YEAR AND A HALF LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I COMPLETED THE DRIVER SIDE RECALL TWICE. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL IT TAKE FORD TO TAKE THIS TIME BOMB OUT OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AND REPLACE? A YEAR AND A HALF WAIT AFTER THE RECALL NOTICE IS UNSATISFACTORY AND DANGEROUS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (NORTH BROTHERS FORD, 33300 FORD RD, WESTLAND, MI 48185, 1-(800) 586-4203) DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.*BF HIGH HUMIDITY COULD RUPTURE AIRBAG UPDATED 8/6/18*JB

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR HAS HAD AN ACTIVE RECALL SINCE JUNE 2016, YET FORD AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE AIRBAG NOR HAVE THEY PROVIDED ANY TIMELINE FOR COMPLETING THIS WORK ON MY CAR. NOT COMPLETING THE WORK FOR WELL OVER A YEAR OR EVEN BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A DATE BY WHICH THE WORK WILL BE DONE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I NEED FOR THIS REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED ASAP IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY RISK FOR FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL - 16V384 THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED ON JUNE 1, 2016 OR ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. AND STILL A REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. MY FAMILY IS AT RISK DRIVING THIS VELICLE WITHOUT THE AIRBAG BEING REPLACED. THERE IS SIMPLY NO REASON THAT FORD AND THE NHTSA CANNOT PROVIDE CONSUMER PROTECTION FOR THE PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN SOLD TO LOYAL FORD CUSTOMERS.
