“My 2015 Mustang was totaled on march 11 2018 and none of the airbags came out and on inspection the state trooper said my seat beat misfired . When I contacted the Ford customer service center the guy had the nerve to ask me what did I want him to do about it!!!! I never received a recall at all from anyone!!!! I then ask him to have someone call me I have as to yet not received one phone call... …”
NHTSA complaint #11084346, filed 2018-04, 1 miles“Takata recall. I was involved in a car accident on the freeway. A trailer truck turned into my driver side rear wheel destroying it and pushing me towards the front of his truck. To prevent ending up in front of the truck I turned the wheel to my right causing me to crash into a construction barrier at 30mph. My front right tire took all the impact causing my car to go up about 3-4 feet and slamming down hard. My airbags never deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #11165280, filed 2019-01, 46,000 miles“My car since 2015 when I purchase my vehicle had a ticking sound from the engine. Ford never open the engine indicating that it will cost to much for them to fix it. On top of this problem has worsen and airbegs, stability and other problems has arise now and Ford refuses to fix them.”
NHTSA complaint #10850935, filed 2016-03, 12,000 miles“Seat belt tensioner: seat belt tension is not retaining tension. Have spoken with dealer and showed them the problem and they agreed with my assessment and have ordered a new pre-tensioner for me. They also noted unnecessary slowness in the retraction of the passenger side seat belt tensioner and will order one for me if I ask for it (which I will). I am asking the NHTSA to contact Ford about this problem as other makes and models could also be affected.”
NHTSA complaint #11079184, filed 2018-03, 41,800 miles“We were stopped in fast lane in freeway traffic, car in center lane hit back passenger side, pushing us into tahoe in front of us. Driver that hit us was going 30-35 MPH on impact. Only the drivers leg airbag went off, passenger airbag popped cover off on right side and got stuck so did not deploy. Drivers front steering wheel airbag did not deploy. Driver injured with severe bruising. Back windshield shattered in tiny pieces across entire inside of car. I have confirmed this car did not have any airbag recalls associated with it.”
