2014 Ford Mustang

THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE LOOSING POWER STEERING IN MY MUSTANG WHILE DRIVING. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM FORD DOES HAVE LOTS OF RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM. BUT DIDN'T FIND MY YEAR 2014 FOR A RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS I DID LOOSE MY POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND THIS IS UNSAFE SINCE I DO DRIVE MY CAR FAST. MY DEFAULT LIGHT OR WARNING LIGHT DID COME ON AS I PULLED OVER AND FOUND IT HARD TO STEER MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY CAR HAS DONE THIS AND WILL MONITOR THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR MY TURNING THE KEY OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SO I RESET THE SYSTEM BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLES AND THAT DID FIX THE PROBLEM AND GOT BACK MY POWER STEERING ON MY MUSTANG. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING PUMP ON THIS CAR AS THE RACK PINION IS CONTROLLING THE POWER STEERING.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING ABILITY SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE STRAIGHT FORWARD INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE APPEARED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IN MY MUSTANG VIBRATES ON ANY ROAD WITH IMPERFECTIONS SO THAT YOU CANNOT DISTINGUISH WHAT TYPE A VEHICLE IS BEHIND YOU. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE NEW ONE DOES THE SAME. THIS ISSUE IS ON A MAJORITY OF MUSTANGS, ACCORDING TO FORUMS, AND I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT DISTINGUISH IF THERE IS A SAFETY VEHICLE BEHIND YOU.

TAKATA RECALL - WHEN I LOOKED UP THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE I READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT -"IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA." I AM NOTIFYING YOU NOW TO COMPLAIN THAT THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, NOW 2 YEARS INTO THE RECALL. WHEN WILL IT BE RESOLVED AND WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT IT?

TAKATA RECALL - ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE, "IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES, CONTINUED EXPOSURE TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING TO RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONT AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY." ... SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED ON 05/27/2015 AND THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER (2 YEARS NEXT MONTH)! MY WIFE AND I ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR SON DRIVING THIS VEHICLE (AGE 18). THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE BECAUSE WE LIVE IN THE HOUSTON AREA AND THERE IS A HIGH LEVEL OF HUMIDITY HERE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. I WANT FORD TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP!

TAKATA RECALL: I JUST PURCHASED THIS MUSTANG FROM A MOSES DEALERSHIP IN TOWN, THEY DID NOT MAKE ME AWARE OF THE RECALL. WHEN I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPT FOR ASSISTANCE, THEY STATED THAT FORD WILL NOT LET THEM ORDER THE REPLACEMENT PART, THAT FORD ONLY SENDS A LIMITED NUMBER OF THE PART TO DEALERS AND WILL NOT TELL THEM HOW MANY THEY WILL RECEIVE OR WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THEM. THEY ADDED ME TO THEIR WAITING LIST. THIS RECALL COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND I'M JUST SUPPOSE TO DRIVE MY CAR LIKE THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT? PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW I SHOULD PROCEED. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2015, ONE WOULD THINK A DEALERSHIP WOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE THAT PART BEFORE SELLING THE VEHICLE TO SOMEONE.
