2006 Ford Mustang GT Owner Complaints

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS TAKEN A YEAR FOR ME TO FINALLY GET MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS RECALL. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WOULD TRANSFER ME TO THE RECALL DEPARTMENT AND THEN I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE, THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK. WHEN I AM ON BREAK FROM SCHOOL IS THE ONLY TIME I CAN ATTEMPT TO GET THE CAR IN BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT OFFER A LOANER CAR. I CALL REPEATEDLY THE ENTIRE BREAK 2-3 WEEKS AND FINALLY I HAD TO REACH OUT TO THE FURTHER DEALERSHIP TO FINALLY GET BACK TO ME. AGAIN NO LOANER FROM THEM EITHER. THEY OFFERED A SHUTTLE AND SPOKE AS IF IT IS QUICK, I HAD TO WAIT 80 MINUTES FOR A SHUTTLE ALONG WITH OVER 10 PEOPLE WHO ALSO NEEDED A RIDE. THEY ONLY HAD ONE SHUTTLE TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE HOME FOR EVERYONE. I ENDED UP PAYING FOR A TAXI HOME DUE TO MEETINGS I HAD TO GET READY FOR AND THE TAXI ARRIVED BEFORE THE SHUTTLE AFTER I WAITED 80 MINUTES.

Incident

Nov 1, 2018

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR WERE SENDING MY CAR INTO "LIMP MODE", AND VERY NEARLY CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS BEFORE I COULD HAVE THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE FIRST INSTANCE OF "LIMP MODE" CAME WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY IN COMMUTE TRAFFIC. IT WAS WARM, TRAFFIC WAS ERRATIC STOP-AND-GO, AND I HAD THE AC ON. AFTER A PERIOD OF COASTING AT IDLE, TRAFFIC OPENED UP; BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STAGGERED AND NEARLY STALLED. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO HEAT AND THE AC. THE CAR THEN JERKED FORWARD BEFORE RUNNING SMOOTHLY AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, AGAIN IN FREEWAY COMMUTE TRAFFIC. TRAFFIC WAS AT A STOP FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THEN I HEARD A NEWS REPORT THAT THERE WERE ACCIDENTS AHEAD. I MOVED OVER TO THE 4TH LANE OF 5, IN PREPARATION FOR EXITING AT THE NEXT OFF RAMP. WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT AND SPEED UP INTO THAT LANE, THE CAR AGAIN STAGGERED AND THEN STALLED; I MANAGED TO RE-START IT AND GET MOVING AGAIN AS A TRUCK CAME RACING TOWARDS ME, WITH THE DRIVER HITTING HIS BRAKES AND HORN. I BARELY AVOIDED A CRASH.

"TAKATA RECALL" ALTHOUGH I CHECK MY MAIL AND HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE RECALL 16S26. THIS CAR WAS OE PURCHASED IN FLORIDA, UNTIL 2013 WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND DROVE IT TO VERMONT. THE MILEAGE IN FLORIDA WAS OVER 70,000. I HAVE ASKED FOR HELP TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED, CALLING FORD AND CHECKING WITH DEALERS.. NO LUCK. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE PRIORITY GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT WAS DRIVEN IN A HOT, HUMID CLIMATE FOR THE BULK OF ITS' LIFE. I ASK NHTSA TO INTERVENE IN THIS CASE AND GET MY VEHICLE THE SAFETY PRIORITY IT NEEDS.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED BY FORD THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THIS. HAVE BEEN WAITING ALMOST 2 YEARS. CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS. CONTACTED FORD AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO HELP EITHER. I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT FORD IS NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THIS IN CASE THEY ARE REPORTING IT AS CORRECTED. IT'S NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING BY CONSUMERS TO GET IT FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL - LETTER FROM FORD TODAY (3/26/18) "PLEASE CALL YOUR DEALER WITHOUT DELAY AND REQUEST A SERVICE DATE FOR RECALL 16S26 TO RECEIVE YOUR FREE REPAIR". I DID. SERVICE REP SAID THEY COULD NOT SCHEDULE ME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHEN OR HOW MANY OF THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE COMING. ME : WILL I GET ANOTHER (3RD) LETTER TELLING ME WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE ? THEM : NO, YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO KEEP CALLING BACK. ME : AARRRGGHHHHH. ALSO IN THE LETTER, "IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES GETTING YOUR VEHICLE REPAIRED PROMPTLY ... CONTACT OUR FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER 1-866-436-7332. I DID. WHEN I ASKED WHY FORD DEALERSHIPS DON'T KNOW WHEN OR HOW MANY PARTS THEY ARE GETTING I WAS PUT OH HOLD. AFTER 19 MINUTES ON THE PHONE I WAS TOLD PARTS "SHOULD BE AVAILABLE BY FRI. 4/9/18" AND THAT IT WAS UP TO ME TO KEEP CALLING TO SEE WHEN AND IF MY DEALERSHIP HAD THE PARTS AVAILABLE. (1) IN THIS DAY AND AGE, IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT THE DEALERSHIPS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOTIFYING AUTO OWNERS WHEN THE FREAKING PARTS ARE AVAILABLE SO THEN THEY COULD CALL TO SCHEDULE THEIR REPAIR ??? (2) LETTER STATES "IF AN INFLATOR EXPLODES SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS COULD STRIKE THE PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." DOESN'T THIS MAKE THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT ALL ? I'VE ONLY OWNED IT SINCE JULY 2017 AND BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL HAVE DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 500 MILES YET MY INSURANCE PAYMENTS OF $50/MONTH KEEP ON A COMIN'. THIS RECALL PROCESS IS (A) BROKEN, AND (B) FRUSTRATING SINCE I REALLY SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL, YET FORD SAYS DON'T WORRY, JUST DON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. YOU WOULD THINK FORD WOULD PAY A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO THEIR DEDICATED MUSTANG OWNERS ... WOULDN'T YOU ?? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, DOUBT THERE'S ANYTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT HOW THEY MANAGER THEIR RECALL. LET ME REITERATE - AAARRGGHHH. :-(

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FORD HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME THAT REPAIR CAN BE MADE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF MY 2006 MUSTANG. WHEN I CALL MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, I AM TOLD THAT I WILL BE NOTIFIED BY FORD WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, BUT I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND STILL NO REMEDY HAS BEEN FORTHCOMING FROM FORD. ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED SO THE DANGER CAN BE REMOVED FROM MY MUSTANG. FORD IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I AM UNHAPPY WITH THEM AND THAT IS THE COMPLAINT. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY RECALL AND REPAIR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS!

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A FAMILIAR NARROW WINDING ROAD, AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, APPROACHING A CURVE TO THE RIGHT, WHEN IT SUDDENLY UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED. THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSED THE CAR TO PLUNGE OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DOWN A VERY STEEP BUMPY HILL SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET BEFORE FINALLY STOPPING. I WAS FRANTICALLY APPLYING THE BRAKES, BUT THEY SEEMED NONEFFECTIVE. THE CAR IS TOTALED, THERE IS PROPERTY DAMAGE, I WAS CHARGED WITH RECKLESS OPERATION, MY BACK IS INJURED. NOW I AM STRUGGLING TO PROVE THAT NONE OF THIS IS MY FAULT.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS ISSUED A PASSENGER SIDE TAKATA RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE, 2016. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V384. IT IS A FULL YEAR AND A HALF LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I COMPLETED THE DRIVER SIDE RECALL TWICE. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL IT TAKE FORD TO TAKE THIS TIME BOMB OUT OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AND REPLACE? A YEAR AND A HALF WAIT AFTER THE RECALL NOTICE IS UNSATISFACTORY AND DANGEROUS.
