2013 Ford Mustang Air Bags

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY MUSTANG'S AIRBAGS FIVE MONTHS AGO. FORD HAS NOW FOLLOWED UP ON THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE, NOR WILL THEY FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN I TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY MUCH WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE.

MY CAR IS PART OF THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. THE RECALL DATE WAS IN MAY OF 2015. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN JULY CONFIRMING THAT MY CAR WAS PART OF THE RECALL. I WAITED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AND THEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ASKING IF THEY KNEW WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE BUT THEY WOULD CALL ME AS SOON AS IT WAS IN. I CALLED THE NATIONAL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WOULD BE AT LEAST APRIL OF 2016 BEFORE THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I DON'T THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE TO WAIT ALMOST ONE YEAR TO REPLACE AIRBAGS THAT HAVE BEEN LINKED TO SERIOUS INJURIES AND DEATHS. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A HIGH DEMAND FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT THEY COULD HAVE WENT WITH ANOTHER COMPANY TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART. I AM CONCERNED WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR NOW THAT IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN I MIGHT BE INJURED BY THE AIRBAG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ME.

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 15S21/NHTSA RECALL 15V-319 FROM FORD IN JULY 2015. THE LETTER STATES ..IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG RUPTURES, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD STRIKE OCCUPANTS CAUSING INJURY/DEATH. BASED ON THIS NOTICE, WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE FORM FORD. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER CARE @ 800392-3673. I SPOKE TO SUPERVISOR AL AND TOLD HIM WE WERE NOT DRIVING OUR CAR DUE TO RECALL NOTICE. WHEN WILL IT BE REPAIRED. HE SAID UNKNOWN WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. HE SAID, NHTSA SAID THE 2013 FORD MUSTANG IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. IS THE MUSTANG SAFE TO DRIVE OR NOT. WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION ON.

ON FEBRUARY 24, 2013, I WAS INVOLVED IN A "FENDER BENDER" IN MY BRAND NEW 2013 FORD MUSTANG WHERE I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE COLLISION WAS MINOR, AND THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END WAS MINIMAL, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AND SIDE PANEL AIRBAGS BOTH DEPLOYED. THE FRONT AIR BAG SEVERELY BURNED ME WHEN IT EXPLODED OUT UPON IMPACT. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BURNS THAT I HAVE SUFFERED AS THE RESULT OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, AS WELL AS THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. BASED UPON THE SEVERITY OF THE BURNS THAT I HAVE SUFFERED IT IS APPARENT THAT THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE. AFTER THE COLLISION, I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, AND WHILE BEING TREATED THE DOCTOR INDICATED THAT MY BURNS WERE CHEMICALLY INDUCED, AND WERE NOT ABRASION TYPE BURNS FROM CONTACT WITH THE AIRBAG. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT OTHERS MAY SUFFER THE SAME TYPE OF INJURIES. *TR
