Daughter was driving north on wilma rudolph blvd at 45-50 MPH in clarksville, tennessee and attempted to slow down when brakes did not apply. She attempted to go around the vehicle in front of her direction of travel and rear-ended the vehicle on the right front passenger quadrant. Upon rear-ending the vehicle, she hit her head on the steering wheel then a split second later as her head was returning to the upright position the airbag deployed. The air bag deployed "after" and "late". This airbag was part of a ford recall and had been replaced at our local dealership. Additionally, the vehicle had the brake system serviced in december of 2018 and we had informed the dealership of brake system feeling "spongy". The dealership could not find any issues with the system.
2006 Ford Mustang airbags complaints
Page 2 of 9: complaints 11 to 40 of 228, newest first, as owners wrote them.
We do not own this car. It was sold out-of-state 1.5 years ago. Sorry, though ford should know we do not have possession or know where car is.
2006 mustang gt: took the car to holman ford dealership for the airbag recall. When removing the passenger side airbag the threaded holes on both the airbag assembly and the holes on the frame of the car were stripped. I was told there is no way to secure the assembly back onto the car safely. The dealership contacted ford corporate for a remedy. It's been 2 months since I dropped the car off for the recall and other non related repairs. I filed a complaint with corporate and was issued a case number. It's been a week with no response from corporate or the dealership. I'm concerned that if and when the repair is done, will the repair be done correctly and will the car be safe to drive. I feel as if any repair is done it will be just be a quick fix and not safe. I'm at the mercy of the dealership at this point to return my car in a safe and secure condition. I have a few pictures the dealership sent me showing the stripped threaded holes. At this point I'm not sure what course of action needs to be taken. I get recall notices on a weekly basis which infuriates me considering I haven't had my car for 2 months for that exact issue.
On 07/19/2019, subject vehicle was in motion on clay street in thomas county, georgia when the driver crashed into a utility pole. Our client was a passenger in subject vehicle and sustained injuries from airbag deployment that resulted in loss of his eye after going to three separate hospitals.
Takata inflators I have on multiple occasions contacted my local ford dealership, astro ford of d'iberville, ms, about having recall replacement of both driver and passenger air bags. They put me off, do not return calls or messages, and generally refuse to do the required replacements. Date of most recent contact given.
Have attempted to get on the waiting list to have air bag modules replaced, have been told "we never know when we will be getting the needed parts, just keep calling us" this has been over a year now and no parts available
Takata airbag recall. I don't own this vehicle anymore. Transferred title to my ex spouse in 7/18. Maryland mva confirms vehicle retitled. I keep getting notices for recall with my pa address on them and ford won't change owner name or address. They actually send the recalls to me in another state that this vehicle has never been titled or registered in. I have tried and tried to get ford to send the recall notices to my former spouse who has this vehicle. We are not able to communicate to each other due to "no contact" orders in place. I think my former spouse has a right to have the vehicle repaired but I can't or have anyone I know forward these notices to them and ford just sits there and does nothing. I have even went to the point of having a letter sent to me by the maryland mva confirming that the vehicle was re titled and has a new owner and ford still won't accept that, they insist their "third party" company gets the information from the registered vehicles in each state. The registration for this vehicle was cancelled in my name and the plates were returned to the maryland mva months ago. The latest recall notice came yesterday. Is it going to take an accident or possible death and lawsuit for ford to comply and change the owner information? I don't know what to do to get this corrected. I keep getting the runaround and apparently it is very critical that it is addressed.

Taking airbags-ive been waiting for parts for over a year, and saw my local news report on my car, they warned me not to drive it until parts come in for repair.... Metal shrapnel will explode if an accident occurs, I want to know if I qualify for a rental car from my local ford dealership due to the dangers of driving if an accident occurs. On my local news several people were issued rental cars until the fix can be made, thank you.

2006 ford mustang. Consumer writes in regards to airbag recall.
Takata recall I received a notice 12/2017 that said do not let anyone sit in the passenger seat. I received a notice 3/2018 that a replacement airbag was available and I should contact my dealer. The dealer (rt 12 greene ny 13778) has said (3 different conversations where the story changed) they don't have any and are not allowed to order them. They told me if and when ford decides they send a limited # to the dealership. I want to know how to get my airbag replaced if the dealer can not get them in. I also tried the federal safety agency website and was told (lashawn) to go elsewhere for my complaint. Please help, I would like to drive without worry my passenger may be injured. I did not have this trouble when the drivers airbag was recalled/ replaced. Thank you

Takata recall - 16v‑384. On 4-16 I called the local ford dealer (interstate ford, colorado) and told them I wanted to get my recall performed on my vehicle. They told me the parts were not avail. Here in co but only in the humid areas. I told them that I often travel to humid areas and that I would like the recall parts installed. They told me I would have to talk to ford to get parts as they could not do anything. I called ford customer relationship center and they, wendy (2188296), told me that they did not know when the parts would be available and that I would just have to wait. I told her what I told interstate ford service dept. She told me it would be ok for me to travel with a passenger in the front seat, which is opposed to what ford has stated. She then told me that I would have to call back to the dealer to be put on a wait list for the recall as they could do nothing and knew nothing about parts availability. I told her that I needed the parts now, as the dealer and her stated that some dealers do have the recall parts now (conflicting statements were made in the same conversation). I told her that I wanted ford to get the parts sent to my local dealer to have this fixed. She told me she could not do that and did not know when the parts would be available. Wendy then said she would call the dealer to have me put on a waitlist. She called the dealer as I waited on the phone line. She got back on about 5 minutes later and told me that the dealership computers were down and I would have to call them in 2 hours, when the computers should be back up. I feel that I was getting the run around with the dealership and fmc. Each told me to talk to the other and neither was able to tell me when I would be able to get my recall performed. I have not been able to get the recall scheduled to date.
