TAKATA RECALL (17S01/NHTSA RECALL 17V-024) RECEIVED IN MARCH 2017 STATES THAT A RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FOR THIS REASON I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE WHILE WAITING FOR THE AIRBAGS TO BE REPAIRED. MY FORD DEALER CONTINUES TO REPORT THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE, SO I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF INJURY OR DEATH. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS OF WAITING FOR PARTS AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS ISSUE CAN NOT BE REPAIRED YET.

TAKATA RECALL: FORD WILL NOT AUTHORIZE A RENTAL CAR WHILE THE AIR BAG RECALL IS BEING RECTIFIED. I HAVE CALLED ALL MY LOCAL UTAH DEALERS AS WELL AS SPOKEN TO MANY MANAGERS AT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THE ANSWER I GET IS THAT FORD WILL NOT PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. I WAS ASSIGNED CASE NUMBER 13037449 AND THIS IS TIED TO THE VIN. THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLKS WERE OF NO HELP AND SAID THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT YET THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO A RUPTURED INFLATOR DISCHARGING METAL FRAGMENTS, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. MY SPOUSE IS ALWAYS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, AND WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALL. WITH ONE CAR OUT OF COMMISSION DUE TO A SAFETY RECALL, FORD SHOULD AUTHORIZE USE OF A RENTAL CAR, PAID FOR BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY.
