  TAKATA RECALL NOTHING HAS HAPPENED (YET!), BUT I WISH TO FORMALLY COMPLAIN ABOUT FORD/MERCURY DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON FULFILLING THE DEMANDS OF THE AIRBAG RECALL WHICH WAS ISSUED A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO. THEY ARE STILL CLAIMING THAT WE (OWNERS) WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL WHEN THE REMEDY/PART IS AVAILABLE, BUT THE DELAY IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT TRYING TO WEASEL OUT OF THEIR OBLIGATION, ASKING (AND RECENTLY BEING DENIED BY) THE NHTSA FOR A PASS, WHILE OTHER MANUFACTURERS LIKE NISSAN AND HONDA HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF VEHICLE OWNERS, AND PROACTIVE WITH THEIR RECALL OBLIGATIONS. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE AND SO I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE FACT THAT EVERY TIME MY FAMILY OR I USE THIS CAR, OUR VERY LIVES ARE AT RISK, BECAUSE FORD APPARENTLY FEELS THEIR BOTTOM LINE OUTWEIGHS THE POTENTIAL COST OF A FEW WRONGFUL DEATH SUITS.

  THE FIRST INCIDENT MY CAR WAS BUCKING AND SHAKING. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER THAT RAN THE TRANSMISSION AND 3 COILS. NOW AT 77,000 IT AGAIN IS HAVING SLIPPING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THESE ISSUES SEEM TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES, BUT USUALLY BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH. WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE FROM 40-50MPH THERE IS A LOUD BANGING SOUND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND YOU LOSE ACCELERATION. YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND TRY REPEATEDLY AGAIN TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE LANES, BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE DUE TO THE SLIPPING PROBLEM. IT TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO HAD THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. MECHANIC TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY PUT ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS AND COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND COUNTLESS OTHER REPORTS ON THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPORTED EITHER HAVING TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION AND ALSO OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN ON THE HIGHWAY - NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE!!!!! I'M WORRIED ABOUT GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT AND/OR GETTING KILLED. *TR
