2013 Ford Mustang Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The contact owned a 2013 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, another driver failed to yield while entering the roadway, abruptly cutting in front of the contact's vehicle. As a result, the contact was unable to stop in time and collided with the rear driver's side passenger door of the other vehicle. The driver's side air bag did deploy but failed to inflate, which the contact related to the injuries he sustained as a result of the accident. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a storage facility and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact did not immediately seek medical attention but later transported himself to an area hospital and was treated for a concussion, neck pain, and back pain. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 113,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Mustang. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 15V319000 (Air Bags) and 19V001000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the dealer declined to perform the recall repairs.

Was going 25mph on a straight dry road, 2 traction control lights popped up and an alert saying Advancetrac is off, which is a feature you have to be in park with your foot on the brake and hold the traction control button for 8 seconds to turn off, when the light turned on the car downshift and turned sideways causing me to go into a barrier, steering wheel airbag and passenger airbag both only broke out of the trim and did not inflate fully.

I WAS PARKED WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR AND SAW THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP. THE CAR IS ABOUT 68000 MILES AND IT'S HAVING A HIGHER GAS CONSUMPTION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CODE ' P0456' EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK. AND PASSENGER FROM SEAT BELT BROKE. THE PART THAT HOLDS THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE.

CAR HAS HAD THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND OFF. SINCE IT ALREADY HAD RECALL FOR IT AIRBAGS, IT SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEM PROBLEM CONTINUES. LIGHT USUALLY COMES ON WHEN BEEN DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MILES AND STAYES ON. ONCE I TUNR THE IGNITION OFF, IT RESETS IT AND TURNING THE IGNITION ON AGAIN, THE LIGHT IS GONE, BUT WILL COME BACK AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES BUT NOT ALWAYS.

TAKATA RECALL. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE IT IS HOT AND HIGH HUMIDITY. I BOUGHT A USED MUSTANG LAST YEAR WITH NO RECALLS. ALL OF THE SUDDEN NOW THERE IS 2 RECALLS ON BOTH AIR BAGS.

THE SAFETY RISK FOR THIS RECALL IS SEVERE AND EXTREMELY HIGH RISK. I LIVE IN TX HIGH HUMIDITY AND IT STATES IT CAN POTENTIALLY INJURE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE REMEDY STATES DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DRIVER AIRBAG, YET WHEN I TRY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT DEALERSHIP, THEY STATE THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE AVAILABLE PARTS TO HANDLE THE REPLACEMENT AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER LETTER FROM MANUFACTURER TO INFORM ME THE PARTS OR RECALL IS COMPLETE.

I HAVE TWO RECALL NOTICES DATED JULY 2015 & APRIL 2017. AFTER NUMEROUS REQUESTS FOR AN APPOINTMENT, THE DEALERS KEEP STATING THEY CAN'T GET THE PART NEEDED! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A "LIFE & DEATH" SITUATION. PLEASE HELP!
