Description of the problem | Takata recall this recall was initiated in may of 2015 which is now 16 months ago and there are no parts available and no fix expected for another 3 months. Car has been to dealership twice for other general service and both times no fix available and no remorse on dealers part for having me continue to drive and pay for a car that by the stating of the recall could kill my son or his passengers with the equipment which is supposed to protect them in case of a crash. This is highly unacceptable as the reason the car was purchased was for safe transportation between college and home. The ford dealer blames the airbag manufacturer but i didn't buy a takata i bought a ford mustang. They need alternate supply or they need to buy this car back at full retail value. I should not have to take a loss on a car due to them choosing the wrong parts supplier and failing to fix a potentially deadly defect. By law we can't keep loaded guns laying around where someone could accidentally discharge them but ford apparently thinks we should continue to drive with one pointed at our heads. |
