Takata recall: it's been a year since we were informed of the recall. does nhtsa put pressure on the dealers to get the recall completed?

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. while driving 37 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Takata recall. i received mail spring of 2017 that my vehicle was part of the takata recall but to date ford has been unable to fix the issue behind the recall. the time between when i was notified and now is too long. i am filing a complaint. at this point i'm estimating the date i was notified. i don't have access to the letter.

I received a recall notice in 2016 about the takata airbags. i have been seeing the dangers of the defective airbags and the importance of getting them replaced. i have contacted the dealer and checked the online vin recall services and all i keep hearing is the solution is still not available. by this time i am getting very concerned what my happen in the event of an accident

I have been calling the surrounding dealerships to help my get my car in for the recall for over a year and a half and now that i have to pay for my renewal fees with the dmv, i have to get the car smogged and it will not pass due to the airbag indicator light not turning off. i was told that the part is not in yet and yet here we are late september 2018.

The dashboard around the passenger side airbag is deformed. it has separated and has started to "peel" upward. the airbag light has also come one. not sure if related.

Top raight side in pasenger side is damage.from last 2 years. and part if the driver side is demage.

Takata recall, i have been complaining for over two years about my air bags to the dealer and they have done nothing, is a matter of fact the airbag looks like it ready to explode and they still don't care. i am very upset

Dashboard around passenger side airbag is deformed. passenger side airbag stopped working as well.

Takata recall i received a letter from ford in july 2016 stating that a defect in the passenger side air bag could cause death to the passenger in the event of an accident. it further stated that i would receive another letter when parts are available. now, 8 months later, i have not received another letter, and the local dealer does not have the parts for the recall service and does not know when those parts will be available. based on information on the ford web site i determined that my car is high risk for serious air bag malfunction because of its age (10 years) temperature fluctuations, and humidity variations. in spite of this very dangerous condition, known by ford motor company for a long time they have not performed the correction nor advised me when they will perform it.

The dash on the passenger air bag protruded out several months ago. i can see the airbag in the gap from where the dash has stuck out. with the and humid weather in tennessee this last weeks, it appears the protrusion is getting worse. i have seen several complaints on this issue. my car is on the recall for the takata inflators issues and ford needs to have a recall and determine how to correct dash from protruding. i am very very very concerned with any passengers in my car and for myself if the air bag explodes and if no one is injured i am concerned if i can driving the exploding air bag could cause me to have an accident. please look into this issues. i know ford did change the dash design in all newer vehicles. thank you very much for your time. please look into this dash-airbag issue.

Takata recall. passenger airbag on dash is splitting. i can't allow my 15 year old to sit in the passenger seat for fear that the bag will erupt. this is a serious matter and i've taken it to the place where i purchased the car and was told there waiting on an ok to repair cars. in the mean time i'm in fear every day praying that this bag don't explode. my call back is [xxx]. i then called another location grand prairie ford in texas an was told almost the same thing by andrew & michelle. due to the fact that this airbag is visibly open why can't a dealer repair it immediately? i would appreciate any feedback as to the next direction i should take. i drive this car as little as possible but i'm unable to afford another one. thanks but i'm impatiently waiting due to fear.
