Takata recall, airbag remedy not available at skyline ford dealership in salem, oregon. 6 months overdue to rectify. safety hazard!

Takata recall - i have been waiting over a year for passenger side airbag. i have contacted ford dealers and have been informed that they don't have airbags available to install. received letter from ford motor company about safety recall notice in july, 2016.

Takata recall it has been 6 months, and still no answers? every time my wife and i travel, i worry about her riding in the passenger seat.

Takata recall- received notice from the lincoln motor company of takata air bag recall for my 2009 lincoln mkz and have called three ford/lincoln dealerships in my area and they stated due to law suit they have not received the replacement airbag part.

Takata recall ford dealer still has no parts to replace airbag, after over a year of waiting. dash is buckling below the passenger side airbag. this recall needs to be repaired immediately.

Takata recall - i have received several letters from ford over the years in regards to this takata recall involving the passenger side airbag inflator. however their letters always end with a statement about how the parts are not available and when they become available they will contact me. i took the car to a nearby dealer and they told me the same thing, that parts are not available and they will contact me when they are. so really, i have been waiting for parts for several years. a letter i received from ford in december 2017 suggested that i not allow anyone to ride in the front passenger seat until the repair was made! so i feel like i am riding around in a timebomb. i had also received a letter from takata themselves several years ago, stating that my car was also under a recall for the driver side airbag inflator as well. however i do not have that letter any longer - i think it was left at a dealer when i attempted again to get the repairs made. i am seriously considering trying to get a new car, but that will be difficult for me since i am on disability with limited income. i was given a number in accordance with this recall: safety notice 16s26 / nhtsa recall 16v-384. i was also given a case# at the dealership where i last took the car to attemp repairs: case# cas-15045865. since i am still waiting for parts, i am going to put the date of the oldest letter that i have in the box below that says "when did this happen".

On your vehicle, the passenger frontal airbag inflator may rupture in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment. a ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death.

Takata recall letter was mailed out july 2016 for this safety recall 16s26. ford motor company has never mailed another letter stating the part is available to be replaced. i contacted five star ford of plano upon receipt of this correspondence and was advised another letter will be sent when parts are available. no 2nd ford motor company letter has been received. what is the next step? the initial letter is attached.

Takata recall: i have been in touch with the dealer , first when i received the recall notice from ford in july of 2016, and once again today ( nov. 8, 2017.) i may have called the dealer at least one other time earlier this year. palm springs motors, palm springs,ca. stiill does not have the parts and is unable to replace any defective airbag components. no incic=dents have occured with the exiting airbags, but since another vehicle i owned (dodge caravan, 1994 model,) did have an airbag issue which may have caused an accident, i am anxious to have this problem corrected.

Takata recall. i was notified in july 2016 about this recall. i have received a form stating to contact my local dealer, which i have on several occasions since. i have no idea when this airbag will be replaced, even though i received a notice. this makes me uneasy. i just want to know when and why dealerships do not have more information. they just brush you off.

Takata recall-received a recall notice since june 2016. have contacted jim click ford, tucson az where i bought car but have yet to receive a call back from dealership. airbag light has been in for over a year and i am very worried about any accident or consecuences because this has not been taken care of even though i received the recall notice. this will be my second complain to this website.

Takata recall. received letter july 2016 stating the passenger frontal airbag inflator may rupture causing serious injury or death. when parts are available ford motor co. will notify me via mail to schedule an appointment to have this replaced free of charge (parts and labor). still waiting on that letter to arrive.

Takata recall i received my recall notice in july 2016 and still ford motor company has no parts to fix it. if everyone is so concerned about safety i think over 2 years is way over the limit to fix the problem that could cause death. by the time ford does something my car will no longer be around and my family in the meantime is at risk. i also think this is fords intention that if they wait long enough a large portion of the cars that have to fix will no longer be around and they will save themself a lot of money by not having to fix those cars. somebody should look into this. over 2 years or longer is far to long to correct a safety issue recall.

Takata recall. received a letter dated july 2016 in reference to safety recall notice 16s26/nhtsa recall 16v-384 on my 2006 fusion informing me of the defect of the passenger frontal airbag deployment. i never heard from anyone, so i started calling july 2017 and have called 2 other times. they tell me that we will get an email from ford to schedule a service appointment to have the airbag replaced when the parts become available. we have not received any such notice as of this date.
