TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE A 2009 FORD MUSTANG ROUSH 429R THAT IS BEING AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL ON BOTH AIRBAGS. I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WILL BE FIXED, BUT WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER IS NOT READY. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SALE MY CAR FOR A YEAR, DUE TO HUSBAND BEING LAID OFF AND FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. I AM UNABLE TO SALE MY CAR DUE TO THIS RECALL AND WHEN I DISCUSSED WITH FORD, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WILL NEVER HAVE THE RECALL FIXED, THAT ITS AN IMPOSSIBLE FIX. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR IS WORTHLESS AND IF THEY BOUGHT IT, THEY COULD PAY ME FOR MY ROUSH PARTS AND THEN TOTAL OUT THE CAR. WHAT RIGHT AS AN OWNER DO I HAVE, THAT I HAVE PAID FOR A $40 THOUSAND DOLLAR CAR, I ONLY HAVE 8600 MILES ON IT, AND BESIDES THE RECALL ESTIMATED VALUE IS AROUND $35,000 TO $40,000 DUE TO IT BEING #78 OF 100 MADE, BUT AM BEING TOLD SORRY BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL YOUR CAR IS WORTHLESS AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. WHAT RIGHT AS AN OWNER DO I HAVE? IF MY CAR IS NOT SAFE ENOUGH TO SALE, HOW IS IT SAFE ENOUGH TO DRIVE? HOW DOES A 1 INCOME FAMILY HAVE A CAR JUST SIT IN THE DRIVE WAY COSTING MONEY, NOT ABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO SAFETY, AND CANT SALE RELATED TO RECALL. THIS HAS BECOME SUCH A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN, CAUSING INCREASE STRESS RELATED TO NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY OTHER BILLS. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT THERE AND ALL I GET IS, "WE ARE SO SORRY, BUT WE CANT HELP YOU"
