Problems with 2007 Ford Ranger AIR BAGS

I contacted the recall center by phone as recommended. the lady that answered said she could not find a match based on the vin for the recall. she told me she would have a supervisor call me within 24 hours. that was weeks ago and i have not received a call and i am still getting these recall notices. please address the problem.

Takata recall i sold my vehicle and filed the proper release of liability forms with the state of california. despite repeated requests to ford and to the dealership i continue to get recall notices. ford seems not to care enough to send the recall notice to the new owner who may be injured. *bf *tr

Takata airbag 16s26 on the 12th of october 2018 i went to bill kay ford in midlothian illinois 60445. they perform the recall and everything was fine on the 17th they called me and said they made a mistake and needed me to bring it back i brought it back on the 18th of october and every since then the airbag compartment has been making a grinding noise that i didn't hear the first time they installed it i took it back on the 23rd i showed them the video footage of the sound it was making two different workers sat in the truck and heard the sound they kept the truck for 8 hours and called and told me that they tightened everything down but it was still making the sound and it was nothing they could do about it.i tried to make a complaint with ford motor company to have them instruct the midlothian dealership to take the airbag module recall out so i can go to a different ford dealership and have them perform the work correctly. ford motor company said that they did not have the authority to tell them to do so i called midlothian and asked them to take the recall out so i can have someone do it correctly the first time at a different dealership. and they refused to do so i feel unsafe i am annoyed and this is unacceptable

Takata recall - the manufacturer is taking an excessive amount of time to provide a replacement for the recalled parts. i have attempted to have the airbags changed at multiple dealerships for 9 months. the parts are still not available.

Takata recall. i have been trying to get my airbag replaced for quiet some time. our dealership in corsicana texas brinson ford is giving me the run around. they will not schedule my ford ranger for recall parts. they tell me to call back in two weeks and they should have replacement parts by then. when i call they tell me they got the parts and have already put them on other vehicles. this has happened to me three times. but they will not put me on a waiting list and do not offer any suggestion except call back. i am very frustrated they also told me the next closest place ennis texas dealership is out of parts as well. so what are we supposed to do. we are in the texas high heat and humidity and our vehicle is a do not drive and our only car to drive. so what do we do keep taking chances and getting put off until we get killed by a defective airbag we have known was defective for over 2 years but no parts were available and now that they are no one will fix it?? help us please. we are probably not the only ones having dealerships not wanting to help. sending copy to attorney generals office for reference. help! please! we have to get to dr visits,i am a cancer patient( and it is a 100 mile round trip )and buy our meds. and groceries. no choice but to drive this ticking time bomb. please help us!

Takata recall - we have been unable to get the vehicle repaired by our dealer despite being notified by ford that parts are now available for this specific vehicle and vin (see attached notices). we have opened a case with ford. we have been unable to use our vehicle to transport anyone in the passenger seat for well over a year and although we have made repeated requests to our dealer, ford of escondido, we have not gotten any satisfaction. we believe the vehicle is unsafe to drive and want to get this inflator replaced as soon as possible.

Need to replase takata inflater 16s26

On april 20th 2018 ford sent out a letter stating that the airbag replacement part was now available for my vehicle and to contact the dealer to schedule the replacement. i attempted to schedule the appointment yet the dealer stated that they don't have the parts. and they didn't know when they would be in.

Takata recall ford dealers have repeatedly told me, as late as 4/19/2018, recall airbag parts are "not available yet" for my ford ranger, despite an email received from ford saying i need to get a recall completed and, "your front passenger side airbag inflator may violently explode in the event of a crash. when this happens metal fragments can hit the driver or passengers resulting in serious injury or death." the dealer service department told me to "call back in a few weeks."

Takata recall 16v-384 i received a letter from ford on 4/16/18 stating that "a repair for your 2007 ford rangers airbag inflator is available", and to call my dealer to set up an appointment to have it fixed. i have now called 4 dealerships and none of them have the parts to fix the airbag. i received the same letter from ford for my 2009 mercury milan over 2 years ago and i'm still waiting for parts for that vehicle. wtf!!! why send a letter if there isn't any parts at dealerships??? i do think that ford motor company needs to be stepped on by the us government to get them off their collective gluteus maximuses and get this problem fixed or else face heavy penalties. usually, when uncle sam calls, things get done. my 2009 mercury milan has 15000 miles on it, has not been out of the garage since sept. 2017 because i'm afraid to drive it. i've been told by ford employees that i shouldn't worry about the airbag exploding, but, that does little to assuage my fear. now my other vehicle(the only one i have left) has the same problem and ford is already starting with their fake recall letters & lack of parts problem. this is bull-sh-t!!! so much for "buying american".......maybe its time to go shopping for that honda/mitsubishi/toyota/hyundai.

I need to get a waiver from the national safety administration to have ford disable my passenger side airbag until such time that they repair it. no passenger can ride in this truck without risking serious injury. i should be able to use my truck and carry passengers safely.there is no real date given by ford as to when the repair is to be completed.

Takata recall - received a notice from ford that remedy parts for airbag inflator replacement will be delayed until spring of 2018. in the meantime, do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat. big problem for us as this is our only vehicle and we must have a two-seater vehicle every day. dealership refuses to provide a loaner or rental.

The passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the supplemental frontal airbags are designed to deploy. this defect report is in response to takata dirs 16e-042, 16e-043, 16e-044.

Takata recall: this recall came out more than 1 year ago and ford still does not have parts and upon calling them i was told that no one knows when they will have the parts. my truck is essentially unusable as a family vehicle because i don't want my passenger to die... my ford truck cannot be used for what i bought it for because it is unsafe and ford isn't doing anything to fix it.

Takata recall 2007 ford ranger december 2017. nothing done. told parts would not be ready until march of 2018. was told not to drive my vehicle. i have only my ranger and with all the recall noise and no loaner to use with out my paying for the loaner..i am up a tree.
