2008 Ford Mustang airbags complaints
Page 6 of 9: complaints 131 to 160 of 240, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Takata recall--driver side inflator was repaired july 2016. In june 2016 received additional recall for passenger airbag inflator. It has been more than a year since notification. My vehicle is in the priority due to age and I am zone 1. I contacted the dealer in october 2016 and was advised they expected parts in january 2017. As of this date I have heard nothing . We are at risk for liability if I carry a passenger. It is not unreasonable to expect resolution after waiting a year and having a priority vehicle.
I have been getting notices for several years about my airbags. Only have one available. They seem to never get the other one. I only want to take my car in once and get both replaced at the same time. I have 2 mustangs from the same year.

This is to report a delay in recall 16v384. I've been contacting my local dealership to get the problem fixed and because they are waiting on a second set of parts, they've advised me to wait. It's been over a year, when will the passenger side be available to fix?
Takata recall plus drivers seat belt wont retrack very easy. Been to world ford dealership in pensacola and they keep telling me to bring it in next month. It's been since jan this year and still no airbag replacement. Been in there three times so far. Please let get this fixed before someone gets hurt or dead....

It has been one year since I received a notice from ford for the federal safety agency recall 16v‑384 that the passenger frontal airbag inflator was defective and could rupture if deployed. Yesterday I went to a local dealer for the fourth time and was informed that ford still does not have replacement inflators. This is unacceptable. Please demand that they obtain replacement inflators.
Takata recall recall was june of 2016 a year later and they still do not have a replacement part. This is unacceptable. I called to see when the parts would be available to perform the recall and they have no idea.

Takata recall: it has been over a year since I was notified of the federal safety agency recall 16v‑384 and am still told parts are unavailable. When will my car get fixed? I am concerned that if I have an accident, my passenger could be seriously injured! This delay is ridiculous!!

Takata recall. Purchased a car from landmark ford in springfield illinois. They said all recall were completed before I purchased car. Not true. Recalls still open and not completed as promised before purchasing.
"takata recall". It is going on well over one year for the replacement of the passenger air bag and ford still does not know when my passenger air bag will be replaced. If someone dies because of this air bag, consequences will be serious.
Takata recall (recall date: jun 1, 2016) - the passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the supplemental frontal airbags are designed to deploy. This defect report is in response to takata dirs 16e-042, 16e-043, 16e-044. There is still no remedy!!

Takata recall, it's been almost two years since I've been able to drive my mustang safely. First it was a recall for the driver's air bag in july 2015, then not a month after it being replaced, there's a recall on the passenger side on july 1, 2016. My wife refuses to ride in it, so we had to buy another car for her. We live in cape canaveral, florida and we purchased the convertible to have enjoy it down here. I written to ford and they simply replied that they'll send me a written notice via mail when the replacement bag is available. This is ridiculous! Can you do anything to expedite the process?

I was involved in a serious car accident on sunday of last week. While in the right-hand lane of interstate 95 in boynton beach, florida, my 2008 mustang was hit in the rear by an apparently speeding motorist. I was traveling between 55-60 MPH and accelerating to achieve pace with the other cars on the highway. My car was struck in the rear, and propelled forward striking a minivan in front to me. I was pushed off the road and into the sea grape stand, and then struck one of the posts on a highway information sign. My car was totaled. (see the photo) neither airbag in the car deployed. I had received notices from ford motor company that my car had takada airbags in it, and that they should be replaced. I was notified approximately one year ago that replacement parts for the driver's side air bag were available. So, I went to the auto nation ford dealer and garage located on linton blvd, and interstate 95 in delray beach, florida to have the bag replaced. I dropped the car off in the morning and picked it up late in the afternoon, and was told that the bag had been replaced. I have driven the car ever since with the belief that I had a non-takada functioning driver's side air bag. Neither the driver's side air bag nor the passenger side air bag deployed during the accident. However, each of the other three vehicles involved in the accident had full deployment of their air bags.it's obvious that the air bag replacement in my car by the auto nation ford dealership was deficient and did not meet crash standards for deployment. I am requesting that your agency investigate the replacement air bags and the installation techniques being used by ford to replace air bags in the ford cars being recalled for air bag replacement.
