  TAKATA RECALL. FORD HAS YET TO FIX MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THEY PREDICT THEY "MIGHT HAVE" REPLACEMENT PARTS IN THE SPRING OF 2018 BUT THE LETTER RECEIVED ONLY STATES SELECT VEHICLES. THEIR REMEDY IS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT IS A FORD MUSTANG. THE BACKSEAT IS NOT BIG AT ALL AND IS ONLY COMFORTABLE IF YOU HAVE A DOUBLE AMPUTEE BACK THEIR. HOW IS MY WIFE WHO IS CLAUSTROPHOBIC SUPPOSED TO RIDE WITH ME? THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS WILL ALSO EFFECT IF I EVER WANT TO TRADE IT IN OR RESELL MY VEHICLE AS IT IS A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP FOR A PASSENGER. FORD HAS TAKEN A 4 PASSENGER CAR THAT IS REALLY ONLY FOR 2 PEOPLE COMFORTABLE AND MADE IT A ONE SEATER.

• 11/23/2010· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  ACCELERATOR STUCK - 2009 FORD MUSTANG GT - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DATE OF INCIDENT: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2010 LATE AFTERNOON AS I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER LEAVING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND THE THROTTLE REMAINED OPEN. I APPLIED MY BRAKES UPON REALIZING THE THROTTLE WAS STUCK. I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN (BRAKING ONLY) BEFORE REACHING THE INTERSECTION. THE ENGINE CONTINUED REVVING AT A HIGH LEVEL (AS I CAN BEST RECALL) BETWEEN 3500 AND 4000 RPM FOR WHAT SEEMED TO BE ABOUT 5 SECONDS. LUCKILY, I CAME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE MAIN HIGHWAY AS THE ENGINE SPEED WAS STILL PULLING THE CAR FORWARD WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. THANKFULLY, NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND NO ONE WAS HURT OR INJURED. THE CAR THEN RETURNED TO A NORMAL IDLE SPEED AND I DROVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. NOTE: THE TCS (TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) WAS TURNED OFF THIS DATE, WHICH WAS SOMETHING THAT I HAD NOT DONE IN THE PAST DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND THAT I WAS THE FIRST. A SERVICE TECH WENT OVER THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES OR PROBLEMS DURING A TEST DRIVE (4 MILES). BESIDES THE DEALERSHIP, I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AS I HOPED THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CORRECTED AS THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. 11/12/10 CALL RETURNED FROM A REGIONAL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. I OFFERED TO LET FORD HAVE THE VEHICLE FOR INVESTIGATION OVER THE WINTER MONTHS. I HAVE NOT HAD ANOTHER SIMILAR INCIDENT, BUT HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 50 MILES. *TR

• 11/21/2014· AIR BAGS

  ABOUT A MONTH AFTER MY PURCHASE OF MY NEW MUSTANG IN 2009, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON ALL THE TIME. I TOOK IT IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY TO GET IT FIXED. IT TOOK THE FORD HOUSE 2 MONTHS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. 4 YEARS LATER SAME ISSUE. AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON. NO WARRANTY AT THIS TIME TO GET IT CHECK OUT. I'VE NOTICED THAT IT HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE OR AT LEAST WITH FAULTY AIR BAGS. I'M AFRAID I MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE IF I AM EVER IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THE SAME ISSUE AS OF 4 YEARS AGO. CALL IT A WARNING SIGN THAT IT MAY VERY WELL BE A FAULTY AIR BAG ISSUE. TO BE CONTINUED. *TR

• 11/17/2015· AIR BAGS

  I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS INVOLVES A "TAKATA INFLATOR". I RECEIVED A FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAFETY RECALL NOTICE POSTMARKED JULY 24, 2015 INDICATING MY 2009 MUSTANG WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR HOUSING. I HEARD NOTHING MORE FROM FORD SO IN LATE SEPTEMBER 2015 I TELEPHONED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO ACTION BEING TAKEN TO REPLACE THE PART ON MY VEHICLE. I ASKED WHY NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE FOR TWO MONTHS SINCE THE NOTICE AND THE FORD MOTOR CO. CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT FORD WAS "TAKING QUOTES" FOR THE REPLACEMENT, WHICH SUGGESTED TO ME THAT FORD IS LOOKING FOR THE CHEAPEST WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IN LIGHT OF THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF THIS PROBLEM, AS THE NOTICE STATES: "AN INFLATOR RUPTURE COULD RESULT IN . . . SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.", I THINK THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS CORPORATE DECISION. NOW I READ IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS ABOUT THE MONEY FORD IS SPENDING ON NEW MODELS, NEW PLANTS AND OTHER INVESTMENTS OTHER THAN THE DANGEROUS PRODUCTS ALREADY ON THE ROAD LIKE MY CAR. I WANT THIS DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE NOW BEFORE I OR A PASSENGER RECEIVES "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH".

• 11/15/2016· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL - PART REPLACEMENT FOR THIS USED CAR IS STILL OUTSTANDING. (IS FORD CREATING THE REPLACEMENT INFLATOR AS HAS BEEN INFORMALLY REPORTED?) VIN NUMBER WAS NOT FOUND IN NHTSA LISTING, WHICH CONCERNS ME GREATLY, SO WILL I STILL BE INFORMED WHEN REPLACEMENT PART(S) AVAILABLE SINCE THIS HAS NOW BEEN REPORTED?! THE CAR IS A CONVERTIBLE(CV) IF THAT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PART REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AS THREE PEOPLE, INCLUDING TWO CHILDREN, ARE TRANSPORTED IN CAR EVERY DAY, AND THE INFLATOR ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING. THE DELAY IN REPLACEMENT IS UNACCEPTABLE IN MY VIEW. PARTS SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP!! PLEASE TREAT REPLACEMENT WITH REAL URGENCY AND LET THE AUTHOR HAVE FREQUENT UPDATES VIA MAIL OR E-MAIL.

  The clutch/flywheel/ and or other components of the drive train/engine/transmission connection are faulty and are known to fail for the 2007-2009 Shelby Ford Mustang GT 500 as documented in the numerous Ford Technical Service Bullitens (TSB). This vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Late this summer (2023), I was driving this vehicle with my kids in the car and attempting to merge on the entry ramp for the expressway. I experienced a sudden loss of acceleration and the RPMs immediately "redlined". I had to pull over to the shoulder of the expressway so I would not be rear-ended. I researched this issue and found hundreds of posts on Mustang forums documenting this known issue and the TSB issued by Ford. I have reached out to Ford directly and had my vehicle inspected at a Ford Dealership. The Ford Dealership indicated the issues were consistent with the known defective parts. There were zero warnings either by warning lights or symptoms and I am just fortunate to have been in an accident with my children. I only have approximately 27,000 miles on this vehicle and it is not modified in any way. I have the dealership documentation as well that I can email at a later date. I unfortunately do not have it in electronic format at this time.

• 11/12/2017· AIR BAGS

  I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT WITH 3 VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME. I HAD SLOWED DOWN ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE ROARED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD INTO THE BACK OF THE PICKUP IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD THE BRAKE COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND THEN MY REAR WHEELS BEGIN SPINNING WITH THE MOTOR STILL ROARING. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PUT THE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) CAR IN PARK AS IT SEEMED TO BE STUCK WHEN I FIRST TRIED TO GET IT OUT OF GEAR AND STILL THE MOTOR WAS REVVING UP AND STILL LURCHING FORWARD AND TURNED THE KEY OFF AND IT SHUT DOWN. MY FRONT BUMPER WAS DAMAGED IN THE ACCIDENT. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE SHOWING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. MECHANIC STATED NOTHING PICKED UP DIAGNOSTICALLY IN ORDER TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THE ASSUMPTION WAS IT WAS EITHER THE TPS OR POSSIBLY A VACUUM LEAK. I HAVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS CAR AND PRIOR TO THIS HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT, BUT NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.
