I have always had my 2013 Ford Mustang serviced by licensed Ford dealers. It has always had regular maintenance. On two occasions, I brought the recall to the attention of the Ford service dept. However Ford has never attempted to fix the problem. In fact, Ford has never even notified me of the pending recall - even when I have had Ford service perform maintenance on the car. Ford is ignoring the recall and necessary repairs to the car. This car is not safe to drive!

I received a letter regarding NHTSA recall # 15V319 and manufacturer recall number# 15S21 a year ago stating I would receive an additional letter at the end of that years quarter advising me to take the vehicle to dealer when recall remedy is complete. I have been monitoring the status of the recall remedy and now in 2017 the remedy is still incomplete and I am unable to get this resolved with dealership. The safety risk for this recall is severe and extremely high risk. I live in tx high humidity and it states it can potentially injure vehicle occupants if involved in a crash. The remedy states dealers will replace the driver airbag, yet when I try to make an appointment at dealership, they state the recall is incomplete and they don't have the available parts to handle the replacement and I would have to wait for another letter from manufacturer to inform me the parts or recall is complete. This recall needs to be resolved immediately it should not take this long from May 2015, drivers are at risk! please assist.

Have tried unsuccessfully for last 2 Ford dealership visits (8/6/16 and 2/11/17) to have my recall replacement of airbag taken care of. At each visit, Ford dealership responds that the airbag is not available for replacement at the time of visit. Seeking another Ford dealership recommendation at zipcode: 92234 to have airbag replacement.

Takata recall. Received recall notice. No part to replace. Ford said the replacement would be available before the end of December 2016 and they would let dealer know and dealer would contact me to bring my car in for replacement. It is now March 2, 2017 and I haven't heard a word. What can I do?

Takata recall was received 5 months ago for the front driver side airbag inflator housing. I have been calling various dealers in my area for over 5 months and not one dealer has the parts to replace the housing. How long do I have to wait to get this resolved"??"

Takata recall. This is my son's car, which has been under the airbag recall for a long time. I am extremely concerned for my son's well-being and have called many times to check on a fix and am always told it will happen in the next 3 months or so. It never does. How can Ford get away with this"...telling people their airbag will be repaired and then reneging, time after time. Today they said the repair will be available the second half of 2017. I don't believe it. Can't you do something? other companies are providing repairs on a timely basis, but not Ford, as far as I can see. Lawsuits cost them less than a wide-ranging recall repair, so why should they expedite it" meanwhile, my son's life and health are at stake and we are considering buying a new car at great hardship. Please, please do whatever you can to light a fire under Ford in this matter. Thank you.
