Takata recall

2006 ford ranger. consumer writes in regards to airbag safety recall. *ld *js

I've received numerous letters claiming that my ranger is unsafe to drive due to the takata airbag recall. as instructed, i called richmond ford lincoln to schedule a tow and replacement of the airbag. on first attempt, i was given a window of time that a tow truck driver would arrive to tow the truck and told i didn't need to be present with the key in order to complete the tow. it never arrived and i never received any word from the dealership. a week later i called again was routed to a few individuals with the third telling me that the part was on back order and wouldn't arrive until august - three months from the date of the call. i've continued to receive mail describing in great detail how deadly this situation is and don't believe i have any recourse at this point. anything that can be done to help remedy the situation and protect the safety of me and my passengers would be much appreciated.

Takata recall ford motor company sent me a recall notice early in 2018, telling me that my ranger was undriveable due to high risk takata airbag inflators. the notice told me to contact my dealer, schedule an appointment for recall 18s02 and that they would arrange to have it picked up or towed. i was not to drive it to the dealer. the notice said i would be provided a loaner if needed. i called the nearest ford dealer (great lakes ford in muskegon, mi). i was told by their employee to contact eagle towing and have my car towed to the dealership, which i did. the car was towed to the dealership (after they were closed) and the tow truck driver demanded i pay him and get reimbursement from the dealership. since the dealership had told me to use this tow company and the recall notice said ford would pay for it, i thought getting reimbursed would be easy. wrong. after almost a year and many phone calls, emails and 1 letter to the dealership i have received nothing. today the dealership offered to pay me half of the cost i incurred to have the ranger towed. i refused their offer. i believe it is clearly immoral for ford to tell me to have the vehicle towed for a required recall and then refuse to reimburse me when i did exactly what they told me to do, but i do not know if what they have done to me is illegal. i am writing to the nhtsa to see if there are applicable rules/laws requiring the manufacturer to honor their promise to make repairs required by the nhtsa to my vehicle at no cost to me the owner. thank you, i appreciate your assistance in helping me understand this process which does not (to me) seem to be working the way it should. if it is pertinent, the towing cost $185.40 because it is a sparsely populated farming community and the nearest dealership was over 20 miles away. i did not need and did not request a loaner vehicle. *tr

There is air bag recal, i have tried local dealers and ford to fix the problem, no luck.

Takata recall - i'm filing a complaint with how disorganized the takata recall has been. ford notified me in december 2017 that my vehicle was affected. a few weeks letter they told me my vehicle was on a do not drive list. they towed it and provided me with a rental. they told me parts were available but my dealership said they have been waiting on parts since the beginning of january, it's now march. i'm tired of seeing notices that parts are available only to have my dealer tell me they have no idea when parts are available.

Takata recall- ford repeatedly sends notice of recall and states parts are available and to contact a dealer for repair. the dealer states there are no parts and will contact me when available. i am never contacted. the last ford recall letter states in red letters "do not drive this vehicle" until the airbag repair is completed, but it never gets repaired because they claim parts have to be ordered. i have a vehicle that is not safe and that i am not able to drive for an indefinite period of time. no assistance is given by ford or it's dealerships.

In jan. 2018 i received recall notice from ford i called capital ford in carson city nv i was told the parts are on back order gave them my name and phone number, told they would call when parts are available. they never called feb. 2018 received phone notice about recall from ford. called capital ford again about it and asked about loaner car till it could be fixed, i was told they couldn't help me, and hung up. same day 2-16-18 i called fords number on re,call notice they contacted capital ford i was told that they would contact me that day about situation. capital ford has never returned a call yet. yesterday 2-22-18 i received another recall notice that i should not operate vehicle till repaired. i capital not received replies to any of my request for service a and or a loaner vehicle.

Takata recall getting notices since 2015 on this issue and still nothing done. dealer tells me parts are not available.

Takata recall safety notice 18s02. received a letter from ford motor company stating the air bags need to be replaced. called the local ford dealership to make an appointment and service representative said the parts are not available at this time even though the letter from ford motor states parts are available. ford dealership representative said they don't know when parts will be available and will call me back when they do. i'm confused! why is ford motor company sending letters out with inaccurate information? thank you.

I have called sunrise ford dealership in southern california more than a dozen times to pick up my truck, and provide a rental vehicle to no avail. i have spoken to many ford customer service representatives with no success. i used this vehicle for my business and since this recal, i have not been able to use it. i do have another ford ranger-2006 vin : [xxxx] with the same air bag issues. please contact me at [xxxx] parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall, we have been trying to get this recall done for about a year now. they keep telling us that the parts are on back order. i have received notices that say do not drive your vehicle. we are a business that depends on this vehicle to get our job accomplished. we cannot park this vehicle without some sort of rental provided by the dealer. they have told us on this latest one that it will be sometime in march. this is ridiculous that we are told to park our vehicle but if we had done so even from this latest recall notice we would be without this vehicle for over a month to this point with no guarantee of when it would be fixed. there has to be a better way of informing consumers than to say do not drive the vehicle but by the way we will not know how long you will not be able to drive it. thanks

Takata recall i have received several recall notices over the course of approsimately 2 years. the latest was received early feb 2018. it states that parts are available to fix the recall problem, yet dealerships have no parts and dont know when they will get more. the dealerships are not helpful and i am concerned for my safety while driving this vehicle. in the past, when i have asked to be put on a list, i never get a call back. i do not feel like ford dealerships are being attentive and the ford customer serivice department says there is nothing they can do. ive called the ford customer relationship center automated line and it doesnt even recognize their own recall number 17s42....and then it hangs up on me. i just want my vehicle fixed. this has been going on for about 2 years...maybe longer.
