2005 Ford Mustang Air Bags

Took the 2005 Mustang GT in several years ago to have one airbag replaced. Dealer (Autonation Torrance, California) stated parts were not available for the other side. One of the airbags has never been replaced. I now read there is a "Do Not Drive" recall for vehicles of this year and model in "Zone A".

Allen , our son had accident Friday May 20th in our 2005 Ford Mustang gt. He swerved to miss something in the road and lost control of the vehicle. It actually rolled over but also damaged the front end enough to bend the frame rails. The ai bags did not set off. There was a recall on them and we had them replaced by Ford in 2020 . My wife and I felt like they should have deployed . Thanks

Brought the vehicle in for airbag replacement. Made an appointment ahead of time. Left the car over night. Contacted the service dept the next day and they told me the repair was done. I went in and was handed the keys and paperwork and told it was done. I kept getting recall notices from Ford, so I contacted them to let them know the airbags had been replaced. They insisted I never brought the car in, but I have the paperwork. Upon going over the details with Ford during the first phone call. Only one airbag had been replaced, and they gave the car back to me under the impression it was safe to drive. Last week was the third time I've contacted. Each time they say they will investigate the matter and never call back. I've lost confidence in this dealership and Ford for being unwilling to admit they dropped the ball and fix the problem. Their letters say they will come to you, but that's not happening either. I would like to watch this being done, sorry I just don't trust them anymore. (I have the paperwork)

AIRBAG RECALL - THE MANUFACTUER HAS BEEN SENDING REMINDERS ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL FOR YEARS NOW AND EVERY TIME I CHECK WITH MY NEAREST DEALERSHIP THEY PUT ME IN THE LIST TO RECIEVE PARTA BUT I NEVER GET THE CALL THAT THEY ARE IN. AND THE DEALER SAYS THE PART JUST ISN'T IN YET. AND THIS HAS BEEN OVER 4 YEARS NOW.

HAD AIR BAGS REPLACED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT SHOWS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT BAGS STILL NEED TO REPLACED,HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE BEFORE IT SHOWS THEY WERE REPLACED?

TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE LAST AUGUST TO GET THE RECALL DONE ON BOTH MY FRONT AIRBAGS.FIRST THE DEALER(CHARLES GABUS FORD IN DESMOINES IOWA)PROMISED ME A LOANER CAR FOR THE DAY MY CAR WOULD BE IN THE SHOP,ONLY TO TRAVEL THERE 40 MILES AND THEN THEY SAY THEY HAD NONE AVAILABLE.THEN I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CO. RECALL DEPARTMENT JUST TO TRY TO GET MY NAME OFF OF THEIR RECALL MAILING LIST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T REALLY TAKE THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY.AFTER REQUESTING TO TALK TO A SUPERVISOR BECAUSE I WAS GETTING NOWHERE WITH THIS WOMAN ,SHE SIMPLY HUNG UP ON ME.

TAKATA RECALL. WE NEED A FIX. WE KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES, WHEN WE CALL THE DEALERS, THE SAME ANSWER EVERY TIME, WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN WE GET THE PARTS. NO RETURNED CALLS. OUR FAMILY HAS A FORD AND CHEVY THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST FOR "4" YEARS!?! NEITHER HAVE A FIX FOR IT.
