WE GOT A LETTER IN JULY 2015 STATING CAR NEEDED ATTENTION AND WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS WERE IN AND REPAIRS COULD BE DONE. I KNOW A MAZDA OWNER WHOSE CAR HAS BEEN CALLED IN 3 TIMES FOR THIS WORK. YET FORD ONLY SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS. WHY NOT DISARM THE AIR BAD AS AN INTRIM STEP, IF NOTHING ELSE. I'D RATHER TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THAT THAN DRIVE AROUND WITH AN AIR BAG THAT CAN KILL ME. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL FORD, AND PERHAPS OTHER PRODUCT OWNERS, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED LAST YEAR THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED. FORD STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX OR A PLAN TO FIX. THIS CAR IS JUST SITTING BECAUSE I WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN DO DRIVE A CAR THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR AIRBAGS THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH. HOW LONG DOES FORD HAVE TO REPAIR? I HAVE TO PAY INSURANCE, PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX ON A CAR WE WON'T USE. PEOPLE ALSO DO NOT WANT TO PURCHASE MY CAR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN RECALLED AND NOT FIXED. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THIS IS NOT A FORD ISSUE IT IS A TAKATA ISSUE AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEAN TIME MY CAR IS DEPRECIATING AND NOT BEING USED. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE?

TAKATA RECALL - IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG WHEN I EXPERIENCED A MINOR FENDER BENDER, LESS THAT 10 MPH. SURPRISINGLY, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING MY PASSENGER, A YOUNG BOY WITH A STOMACH BAG AND OTHER ILLNESSES TO HAVE TO GET CHECKED IN THE HOSPITAL. THANK GOD HE WAS NOT INJURED BUT HE WAS VERY SHAKEN UP FOR MANY DAYS BECAUSE OF HIS AUTISM. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BODYART COLLISION CENTER ((908-789-0330) TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE. HOWEVER, THREE MONTHS LATER MY CAR IS STILL SITTING THERE BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH THEY WERE ABLE TO INSTALL THE PROPER AIRBAGS, FORD HAS NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO GET APPROVAL FOR A NEWLY DESIGNED REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE CALLED TO FIND AFTER MARKET DASHBOARD BUT NO ONE HAS THEM. FORD HAS ALSO STOPPED MANUFACTURING THEM, MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. MY MECHANIC, MYSELF, MY MOTHER AND ANYONE ELSE I CAN FIND HAS CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (HEATHER 866-631-3788, EXT. 7-7790, CASE NO. CAS8338404) AND THEIR RESPONSE IS "WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO GIVE YOU." NOW THEY NO LONGER RETURN CALLS. WE EVEN SENT AN EMAIL TO THE CEO BUT HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE NO CAR, CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ONE, AND AM LIVING WITH MY MOTHER SO THAT I CAN USE HER CAR FOR ERRANDS, EVEN THOUGH I NOW HAVE TO TRAVEL 40 MINUTES TO GET TO WORK. I PAY $1500+ MONTHLY RENT AND I CANT EVEN LIVE IN MY APARTMENT. THE FRUSTRATION IS OVERWHELMING. I ASK FOR ANY RELIEF FROM FORD -- HELP WITH RENTING A CAR, A REPLACEMENT CAR UNTIL THEY THE GOVERNMENT (I ASSUME NHTCA) APPROVES THE NEW DASHBOARD, EVEN A RESPONSE THAT HAS A LITTLE MORE MEAT THAN THE STANDARD RHETORIC FROM THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

THANK GOODNESS THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LATER ON, THE STEERING WHEEL DID WORK AND THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT WAS OFF. BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE IT SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED (INTERNALLY FAILED EPAS STEERING RACK, CODE = U3000:49) FOR A COST OF $1,800. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED.
