The parts are still not available according to my local ford dealer sheehy ford 10601 midlothian trnpk richmond va (877) 615-8301. I am concerned about driving my car if there is a chance the air bag will rupture and cause injury or death according to the recall information. Why can't there be a temporary fix to prevent injury (removal of air bag) or an offer to pay for rental car until parts are available? I feel that my life is at risk driving my car due to the risk of air bag rupture as specifically described in the letter. I rely on this car to get me to and from work and use it to transport my grandchildren. What can be done to resolve my risk until the parts can be replaced.

John hoffman received a notice dated july 2015 that a defect with the air bag could cause serious injury, including death. He took his vehicle to the dealer but was told that the parts are not available. He does not want to drive the vehicle if it poses serious risk to his safety. If he wants to trade in his car or demand a refund, how does he go about doing so? Court?
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford mustang. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v319000 (air bags); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
My vehicle is part of the takata recall. Ford is unable to give me a date certain to correct this life threatening safety issue. I attempted to trade the mustang and was given a trade in cost far below fair market value, thus suffering from diminished value. In addition neither the dealer where the car was purchased or ford motor company was willing to offer me any compensation to offset the diminished value or offer me a replacement vehicle to use until the safety issue is resolved. Takata is no making 1 million repair kits per month. There currently are over 34 million vehicles effected by this recall and several million more are about to be announced. So this monetary and safety issue can potentially continue for years.

I received a recall notice from ford in july of this year concerning defected air bag deployment on driver side. It is now the middle of september and no further actions have been taken. Am I to wait until an accident occurs before repairs are made, or can something be done to speed up this recall/repair process?

Car not drivable due to unsafe airbag that may cause serious injury or death if deployed. I contacted ford they have no date as to when the car can be repaired. According to the ford representative christal chaky the car is safe to drive despite the faulty airbag.
I thought, after several calls to the federal safety agency, my complaint would appear along with the others on this site, but since it hasn't, I am filling out this form to be part of the group getting nowhere with either ford or the federal safety agency since I received (unacceptably late) notice of the airbag recall, since it is agreed there won't be any fix anytime soon. This is the only vehicle in my household, and I have not been able to and won't (because I value my face and my life) drive my car for the three weeks since I received the notice which said it could cause serious injuty or death. Neither ford nor the federal safety agency have done anything to assist me - no loaner, no buy-back, no replacement car. This is unacceptable. The important safety recall I received is a meaningless, empty shell since it provides no solution to or assistance with a life-or-death problem. Since I was even told by one of the many pass-the-buck people I spoke to on the phone that the notice doesnt mean that you cant drive your car?! - be it known that if I did have to drive my car because you have given me no alternative, if I am injured or killed your recall notice does not absolve the co. Or the gov't of anything! You cannot scare someone by a letter saying your car could kill you, and then tell them to drive it! You cannot sell someone a defective car, and then not provide another car pending a repair! You cannot recall a car that may result in serious injury or death, and not pull it from the road! The piece of paper I received with the rest of my junk mail means nothing without a solution. I have now made a complaint against ford under the lemon law, and if they continue to fight me, I will take any and all action as far as I have to to receive a full refund of what I paid for my car, but also including punitive damages for not helping their customers pending a fix (as other car co's are doing).

On 08/02/15, I was driving my 2014 ford mustang. I was struck on my passenger side while making a left turn. As a result my air bag deployed causing a concussion and a laceration across my forehead requiring medical attention and 23 stitches. I also received a brush burn across my left forearm.

I am complaining because I received a letter that if I was to get into any crash my drivers side airbag will deploy and send out metal particles that will seriously injure me or cause my death. Not to mention hurting a passenger. I called ford and they said the parts won't be in until the end of the year, possibly. So it could be longer. So everyday I have to drive a death trap knowing if I get in an accident within this time I could die or be seriously injured. I do not like that I have to wait and just hope nothing happens before they do something about this situation. They are putting people's life in danger. I just survived cancer and I'll be [xxx] if I am going to die because of ford motor co. I asked them about a loaner car....they said no. They said the car is okay to drive....well no it isn't....everyday I worry and at anytime something could happen. I asked if I can get them to deploy the bag until they get the part (I would rather have no airbag (like in the older days), then to have an airbag that could kill me). I am considering going to the news (not sure what they will do). I am sooooo very upset. I just bought this mustang in jan this year. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After the deployment of airbags, I sustained a burn on my wrist and on my arm in which I lost part of a tattoo
The car was making a dry pass by at a drag strip (non racing) while driving the car ignition cut off, causing a loss of control. Car hit rear quarter panel and then hit the front tire and suspension ripping the front bumper off. Driver was injured but not bad. Had car towed to a ford dealer, where we were told we would have to pay $4,000 to have a ford represenative look at, to determine cause for the car to shut off and air bags not deploy.
I was t boned in the passenger door the kid that hit was probably traveling at about 55 .. Y car was totaled and not one air bag deployed . The light is on like they did but not one came out.
