Once body shop received car, the driver (steering wheel) air bag was ordered at Ford. Geico, my insurance company notified me on december 3, 2016 that they will no longer cover my rental car expense since its the fault of the car manufacturer why the air bag is not available. So in order to avoid loosing my job I have to pay $26/day for the rental car. I have had to pay over $500 just for the 20 days I have had the rental car. I called Ford customer service and they told me they will not cover the cost of my rental car and they are very sorry I am inconvenienced. This is totally unacceptable, this car was purchased for over $65,000 in 2011 as it is a shelby cobra gt500 co

Takata recall - I received a recall notice from Ford in mid 2016 that both the driver airbag (15s21) and passenger airbag *16s26) were recalled. Ford replaced the passenger airbag but to date tells me there are no parts to replace the drivers airbag. I am told that if the bag inflates the driver could be killed. So, why can't Ford, in over a year, get replacement parts?

Documentation on this vehicle was previously posted on 12/5/13. As noted; ongoing to transmission/ clutch problems post tsb repairs continue. My vehicle requires the clutch pedal to be engaged completely down to the floorboard during the initial key start process, thereafter; the clutch pedal must be engaged at a minimum to floorboard to the maximum of approximately 1 -2 inches off floorboard. Due to my height ( 5'3"), I am not comfortable seated so close to the steering wheel. I am concerned about possible bodily harm or injury due to airbag deployment beyond potentially common injuries due to air bag burns. I have taken the vehicle to my local Ford dealership to explore the option of clutch pedal adjustment, to no avail . I was told by the service advisor that the clutch is hydraulic,

Manual transmission shifting problem, many times I have experienced in 2nd and 5th gear that it is very hard to shift with clutch all the way in. In second gear I am around 10 MPH and at 5th gear I am around 50 MPH - 60 MPH. During cold start the shifting to second gear is even more impossible and it can cause an accident specially when crossing intersection because the vehicle does not go into 2nd gear right away. *tr

The engine speed dropped down to idle and did not respond to any gas pedal operation. The cars engine remained running, however, the engine ran roughly as evidence of it shaking the entire car.
