2010 Ford Mustang

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL IN JULY OF 2015 FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. ACCORDING TO THE WRITTEN NOTICE, NO ACTION WAS REQUIRED ON MY PART AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. IN MARCH OF 2016, I RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTICE THAT MY SUBARU ALSO HAD A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG. THE WRITTEN NOTICE SAID NO ONE SHOULD USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. CURIOUSLY, NO SUCH WARNING WAS GIVEN FOR MY FORD MUSTANG. I ASSUME IT IS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE PARKED UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. IT IS NOW APRIL 2016, I E-MAILED FORD YESTERDAY AS I HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTICE THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. FORD RESPONDED THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE 9 MONTHS LATER!!! HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY SUBARU WAS FIXED YESTERDAY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE 9 MONTHS LATER. I DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF SIDELINING MY FORD MUSTANG UNTIL THE PARTS ARE RECEIVED AS MY WIFE USES THE SUBARU DAILY SO I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT MAY KILL ME IF I'M INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. DOES THIS MEAN ANYTHING TO ANYONE OR AM I WASTING MY TIME WRITING THIS?

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2010 MUSTANG, A CAR I'VE WANTED FOR WELL OVER A DECADE AND NOTICED THE BUBBLING ON THE HOOD. I FIGURED THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING I COULD JUST TAKE TO A BODY SHOP AND HAVE FIXED FOR A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS, BUT AFTER READING UP ON THIS ISSUE, IT IS NOT FROM RUST, IT IS FROM THE ALUMINUM HOOD BEING CONTAMINATED BEFORE FORD PAINTED IT, AND IF I REPAINT THE ISSUE WILL JUST COME BACK. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE I WANT MY HOOD FIXED SO I CAN BE PROUD OF MY NEW PURCHASE WITHOUT IT LOOKING LIKE A RUST BUCKET!

TAKATA RECALL, I KNOW THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO A WHOLESALER AND THE WHOLESALER HAS IT FOR SALE WITH THE RECALL NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE. I TRADED VEHICLE IN AND THEN WANTED TO BUY IT BACK FROM HENDRICK AUTO IN BIRMINGHAM, AL. THEY SOLD THE 2010 FORD MUSTANG TO DUNN'S WHOLESALE IN TUSCALOOSA, AL AND THE VEHICLE WITH AN OPEN SAFETY RECALL IS BEING SOLD ON THEIR LOT!! I CAN'T BUY IT BECAUSE OF THE RECALL, BUT THE WHOLESALER CAN SELL IT WITH A RECALL ON IT??

TAKATA RECALL. I AM JUST HORRIFIED THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE FOR 6 YEARS NOT KNOWING I COULD BE IN DANGER FOR THOSE METAL PIECES THAT ARE RELEASED IN CASE OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. I HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS BEFORE AND JUST THE THOUGHT OF THAT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO DRIVE DAILY WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE. I KNOW THEY ARE TRYING TO DO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT HOW MUCH LONGER A PERSON CAN TAKE THEIR CHANCES? THIS IS ABSURD! THEY SHOULD AT LEAST DISABLE THE AIRBAGS OR TRY FIXING THE CARS THAT THE PROBLEM HAPPENS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (AS IN MY CASE) I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, THEY JUST TELL US TO WAIT AND IN THE MEANTIME WE'RE AT THE "UNIVERSE'S MERCY" OR LUCK OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE, MAINLY IF YOU ARE DRIVING DAILY AND TAKING ROADS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS THE SOLUTION BECAUSE TIME IS TICKING.
