TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO PICK UP SPEED AND THEN SURGED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE GEAR IN DRIVE 3 TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE RECALLS WHEN HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

MY MUSTANG IS LEKING WATER INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. NOT DRIPS BUT BUCKETS AFTER A RAIN. THERE IS ALSO AN ADFIRIOMAL LEAK INTO THE TRUNK AND BACK SEAT. HAD SEALS AND DRAINS CHECKED NO PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM UNSURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. AS I BEARLY DRIVE THIS CAR.

OK, 5/22/2015 WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AB, IT WAS REPLACED, TODAY THE CAR IS IN FOR THAT RECALL OF 2015?. WE RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THE PASSENGER AB IS RECALLED, HOWEVER FORD DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS. TODAY I CALLED FORD ABOUT THE DRIVERS SIDE, THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE CAR BEING REPAIRED 5/2015. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY? WAS THE AB EVER FIXED?, ON THE DRIVERS. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR. THE PASSENGER SIDE COULD TAKE UP TO THE END OF DEC. 2017 TO BE REPLACED. THE COMPLAINT IS THE DRIVERS, THE REPLACEMENT BEING RECALLED!, PLUS FORD HAS NO RECORD OF THE 2015 REPLACEMENT. TODAY IT'S A GOSCH FORD, HAVING THE DRIVERS SIDE AB REPLACED. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS, AND JUST PURCHASED A F150, 2016 RECENTLY FROM GOSCH. I FEEL SOMEONE IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE REPAIR. I HAVE THE INVOICE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, AND IT STATED DRIVERS AB INFLATOR REPLACEMENT COMPLETED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

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?

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.
