TAKATA RECALL - IN MAY 2015, MY CLIENT RECEIVED A NHTSA RECALL 15V319 FOR THE AIRBAG AND BROUGHT HER VEHICLE TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL NOTICE. AT THAT TIME, SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WASN'T AVAILABLE AND THEY DID NOT HAVE A TIME AS TO WHEN IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. ON AUGUST 22, 2016, MY CLIENT WAS DRIVING HER 2014 FORD MUSTANG WHEN SHE REAR-ENDED A VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND CAUSED PAINFUL LACERATIONS, ABRASIONS AND BURNS RELATED TO THE INFLATOR'S EXPLODING METAL FRAGMENTS. MY CLIENT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND HER VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP DID NOT OFFER HER ALTERNATE VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION. SHE HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND CONTINUE PAYING ON THE MUSTANG ENDURING 2 CAR PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE. HER VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN MARCH, 2017.

AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED AT 52000 MILES. THIS CREATES A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN THE INTERIOR WINDSHIELD IS FOGGED UP AS IT CANNOT BE PROPERLY DEFOGGED WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR COMPONENT TO FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE IN 5 WEEKS, AS THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT AUGUST 10TH WHILE DRIVING AND DUMPED ALL THE COOLANT, QUICKLY OVERHEATING THE MOTOR.

LIMP MODE- MY MUSTANG ABOUT A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN IN TO LIMP MODE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70 WHEN I LOST ALL POWER TO MY CAR AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND SHUT MY CAR DOWN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AFTER MY CAR STARTED AND I WENT ON MY WAY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND IT COULD BE THE ETB (ELECTRICAL THROTTLE BODY) IT HAS BEEN FIND UNTIL THIS WEEKEND. TODAY I HAD TO RESET MY VEHICLE 6 TIMES DURING A FEW HOUR RUNNING AROUND. THE LAST TIME MY VEHICLE JUST THREW A CODE. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT I MIGHT CAUSE MORE DAMAGE THEN WHAT IT COULD. FORD SAID UNLESS IT IS A FULL RECALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I HAVE FOUND OTHER TPS AND A LAW SUE ABOUT THIS FOR ALL YEARS BUT MINE. THE PART IS ABOUT 350-450 PLUS LABOR.
