Mustang

  • 45,000 miles
I was traveling at about 40 mph in mid morning traffic. I went through a traffic signal on a city street at which time my engine accelerated at a high RPM. I could not control the vehicle or stop it even though I had depressed the brake pedal. I did lose control of my vehicle, spun around totally my vehicle and another and then stopping against guide wire. The engine was still revving when the car stopped. No airbags deployed and I was transported by ems to the er.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 Ford Mustang. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V384000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer (future Ford of sacramento, 4625 madison ave, sacramento, ca 95841, (916) 547-2285) did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I had the drivers side air bag replaced on my Mustang by a dealership, but I have not been able to get the passenger side airbag replaced. All of the dealers in my area keep telling me the part is not in stock for the passenger side airbag. Now they say they will call me, but I have not received a call back from any of the dealerships. The car is being driven on city streets and highways. I don't have a current picture of the Mustang but it is in very good shape.

Takata recall I have taken the car in twice to address the recall but the Ford dealer keeps telling me the parts are unavailable. The last time they told me they were distributing the recall parts beginning in the South and working northward (we live in Ohio) whether that is true or not. There are 2 recalls an neither have been addressed in over a year and a half. Our teenage daughter drives this car. Please help. We tried to trade it in and was told since there are outstanding recalls that the value is lessened. That is not right.

In June of 2016 I received a recall notice for the front passenger airbag in my 2009 Ford Mustang. It is now November 2017 and the status of my recall is still 'recall incomplete, remedy not yet available'. 17 months have passed since I received the recall notice. Why hasn't Ford provided a remedy for this potentially deadly saftey recall?

Went to dealerships for repairs and they said they have no parts to make necessary repairs and to call on occasion to get updates.

Takata recall I have not received information from a dealership saying that my air bag recall can be fixed. They just continually say we do not have the part yet to fix the recall on your airbag. I fear for my life and my passengers life if this recall on the airbag is not fixed.
