In 2016, i received a letter stating that my vehicle is affected by the takata airbag recall and that i shouldn't have anyone sit in my passenger seat. i was told that i would be contacted when parts were available and the airbag would be replaced free of charge. since that time, i have never been contacted to have the airbag replaced. this year, i received a letter dated june 2018 basically telling me the same thing...that when the parts were available, the airbag would be replaced and that should happen during the second or third quarter of 2018. so far, i still have not received any word about replacing this airbag and it has now been two full years. i have not been able to travel with anyone in the front seat which has been a major inconvenience for my family. i have called ford several times and left messages but no one ever calls me back.

Takata recall: this recall has been in effect for years and the dealership still does not have the passenger frontal airbag inflator replacement part, nor can they provide me with an estimated date they expect to receive the parts and repair my vehicle. the only option they offered was to add me to a waiting list, which i've been on since i was notified of the recall years ago. in addition, the dashboard is warped due to high heat around the passenger side airbag. thru research, i discovered that the ammonium nitrate used in takata airbags can become unstable over time, especially after exposure to temperature fluctuations and periods of constant high humidity. i live in nc, which is zone b one of the three priority zones. the dealer has offered no remedy and i was told that they no longer have any loaner cars available. this the only vehicle i have for transportation so i have no choice but to drive it. a remedy to this problem should be provided immediately before more people die or are seriously injured.

Takata recall i've received a mail about takata airbag recall in june 2016. it has been a whole year and remedy is still not yet available.

Takata recall... in my own words, the nhtsb is not doing its job. takata filed for us bankruptcy protection. this recall has been active for 18+ months without a fix. why isn't ford motor company being held accountable and forced to invest enough resources to immediately remedy this potentially fatal issue? *js

Takata recall it is now going on two years since i received word of the ford fusion recall for airbag inflators. i just heard that takata has filed for bankruptcy, chapter 11. what are we supposed to do?

My air bag has been recalled for nearly 2 years now without an available remedy. i am completely stuck with a vehicle that i cannot drive safely, sell in good faith, or trade in without taking a financial loss. meanwhile, my car sits and depreciates while waiting for repair.
