Takata recall: since the airbag recall I have continued contact my local dealer regarding the availability of replacement airbags. It has been recently brought to my attention that takata continues to deliver airbags to all larger dealerships nationwide. The dealership in my area have placed the order twice for a replacement but the manufactures continue to decline the order. My last check with the dealership was october 8, 2018 and I was asked to please continue checking. At my last contact I was informed to please check again in november which is drawing closer to the end of the month. My due diligence is running out and I have no complaint with my dealership and understand that takata has much work left to complete. All lives matter when it comes to remaining safe on the road during travels. The wait period needs to come to an end as it has been far to long to have issues corrected. When I received the first recall notice I did not hesitate to contact to dealer. It seems that the recall issue needs to be handled in a more efficient and effective manner. Safety is always a concern.

On 01/05/18 I had to slam on brakes to avoid a car running a stop sign on a city street. The brake pedal vibrated-pulsed as ABS system activated. Then the pedal went all the way to the floor and barely stopped before hitting the other car. Scared me bad! After, the brakes are very soft and pedal travel is definitely much more than before. This is dangerous and after a quick google I find this is not an uncommon problem. I have also noticed that the complaints concerning the ABS system have a wide range of occurrences that seems not to be associated with mileage. I am the original owner and my car has less than 42,000 miles. I've seen complaints of this happening to cars with over 150,000 miles. That would seem to rule out the notion of worn out ABS pumps. With a part replacement cost in the $600 range (not including installation) I can see why ford hesitates to issue a recall but a recall is what should be done. This is definitely a safety concern! I urge you to please see this trend that has been going on for way too long!

This is the 2nd time I am having issues with the throttle body. I brought the car in, in 2015 for the exact same problem. I'm driving along and the car starts hesitating then starts bucking like crazy and conks out. I start the car back up and it drives fine until the next time it does it again. This is very dangerous and almost recently got me in an accident. I was in the left hand turning lane of a very busy road crossing over 2 lanes & started to proceed as the car started hesitating, slowed down and conked out. I almost got hit by oncoming traffic. I called ford today to find out if it was still a covered item and was told it was under the customer satisfaction program for a one time fix, which I already had. So now it's my responsibility to pay for the repair of a defective part?? This should have been a recall. The complaints are still rolling in on the milan's and several other ford vehicles.
