Description of the problem | I emailed the following to ford on 2/9/2015 with no response to date from them hello, i don't know who to contact or how to get my point to the right person, i am hoping you will make someone take notice. I rented a 2015 mustang while on vacation in january. I was driving on the highway when my knee hit the keys ( rental cars always have the extra keys and info tag making it bulky anyway ). The keys turned the ignition to accessory and the vehicle shut off in the middle of the highway in traffic at 70 mph. After the news reports of the other ignition recall that i have seen on abc and my first response training, i stayed calm and was able to get the vehicle off the road without incident. I would just like to make sure ford knows about this and something is done before anyone gets hurt. I notified the rental company of the issue. Please investigate this issue and let me know that you have at least read my message. I would just like to make sure noone gets hurt and the issue is at least duplicated and investigated. Thank you. |
