I received a safety recall notice (15s21/the federal safety agency recall 15v‑319) in july 2015. I call the ford dealership on a regular basis and am told each time that ford is waiting for parts. This recall involves unsafe air bags. I beleive that 5 months is way too long to have to wait for parts to fix a dangerous and life threatening defect. Please assist.

In july 2015 I received a notice of the takata recall on my 2005 ford mustang gt. I called the local dealer in november 2015 and he said that the replacement air bags were still not available. This has been almost 5 months and still no replacements.what is the federal gov. Doing to speed this up.
Unable to trade out of my car because of safety recall. Notice was given in may and it's now almost october. Contacted ford 9-16-15 with no help given. No deadline provided. I'm trapped in a car I can't get rid of. Expected at a minimum ford would purchase back.
2005 ford mustang gt. Consumer writes in regards to airbag recall notice 15v‑319. *smd the driver's air bag inflator was replaced.
Highway crash at 75 MPH. The mustang hit a vehicle that jumped the median . No airbag deployment . I never had a warning light or any indication that the SRS system was at fault . This mustang had a full frontal impact . I did contact ford about this issue and I was told { you can't afford to litigate a case against us } I would have to prove that if the airbags did deploy my injury's would of been less serious . I did brake my neck from the impact .I'm sure the airbag would have helped me...
The ford recall due to possible safety issues with the takata airbags is quite restrictive and not appropriate to this matter. I purchased my car in hawaii and since 2005, have lived in southern california, southern arizona and new mexico. Nevertheless, when I made the appointment with a ford dealership in new mexico, even though I listed the reason for my requested service, I only was told about this restriction after driving to the dealership. I would have been willing to pay a nominal fee to have these airbags replaced but the service department was unwilling to listen. This is the second "safety" matter for this car that has been raised by ford that they have refused to address (the first being a front suspension matter) and I'm not pleased. It is unacceptable and if the federal safety agency is having hearings on this matter, I would encourage the committee to consider expanding the ford recall to all cars with these airbags.
All defective takata airbags should be replaced. Currently the federal safety agency has only recalled cars sold or registered in fl, ha, puerto rico, & u.s. Virgin islands. It has been well documented that people have been severely injured and killed due to the defective takata airbags in some of the remaining 48 states. The federal safety agency failure to recall all the defective takata airbags leaves everyone in 48 states exposed to the risk of severe injury and death due to a known product defect. All defective takata airbags should be replaced immediately!!!!! Cc: us atty gen, mi atty gen, ks atty gen, ks us senators, ks us congressional reps, ford, all media.
The car was involved in a one vehicle accident hitting a guard rail on an interstate at 60 MPH. It was pretty much a head on collision. The car stopped immediately when hitting the fifth post of the guard rail, stood the car up on its nose, spun around about 360 degrees before landing on the tires. During this time the air bags never deployed or the passenger seat belt caught. The passenger was bounced all around the car. The passengers of the car were looking straight down at the road when the car was spinning on the nose. Now, by god's grace only, these passengers were not extremely injured and was it a fatal impact. However, if the safety features of the car worked properly, less injury would have been experienced. The could have easily rolled and if so, the air bags would have been a necessity of security precautions. Ford should be held accountable for all the mustangs experiencing air bag and seat belt problems. I purchase a vechile with the safety options has a main decision of choice. If the safety is not there, you are purchasing a "product" of death.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 ford mustang gt. While driving 35 MPH, the contact's vehicle was struck on the front driver side door. The air bag deployed and broke her wrist in eight places. The skin was burned off of her other arm. Seven pins and rods had to be inserted in her wrist, but it still cannot be moved. The vehicle was destroyed and a police report was filed. The contact has pictures. On february 27, 2008, she saw a newscast stating that there would soon be a safety recall on the harsh deployment of the air bag and the failure to comply with fmvss. The powertrain, engine size, and VIN were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 31,000.
