Problems with 2008 Ford Ranger AIR BAGS

Takata recall - been waiting for a passenger airbag replacement since mid-2016. last letter of december 2017 states 'do not let anyone sit in the front passenger seat'. parts have been delayed, they say. may have parts for some vehicles in late spring 2018. somebody needs to ensure dealers make loaners available in the meantime.

Takata recall 17s01 this complaint is not inregards to an accident that has happened but the lack of action by ford motor company and tk holdings inc to timely replace a defective airbag inflator. i rcvd a letter from ford motor co on 3-6-17 stating i will be sent a letter to inform me when parts are available and to contact my dealer to schedule a repair. being tired of waiting to be informed by ford motor co, i called my dealer for more information, or to see if they have any parts. i was told they do not have parts. i asked the dealer representative if they had replaced airbag inflators on similar vehicles, and they stated that they had. my complaint is that i'm tired of waiting for this part to be replaced. i want it replaced immediately. i don't have time to wait until some other vehicle hits my vehicle causing the airbag to deploy, simmultaneously throwing metal fragments into the cabin and killing or injuring me or my family. i am 59 years old and i have a lifetime accident free driving record. i also received a flyer notice from tk holdings inc. during the first week in november 2017 claiming that if i don't register my email address with them at tkrestructuring.com/ppic' by december 27, 2017 that they may be discharged from " all indebtedness and liability with respect to such a claim. how much time do i have to keep spending to get this problem fixed?

I just found out that there has been a safety recall on my truck concerning the front passenger air bag since 2016 yet i have yet to receive any notice from ford about the recall. after doing some online investigation, found this is a valid recall. i only learned about the recall when i was sent a notice about a class-action lawsuit which could include my situation. i have never received any notice from ford concerning this issue and if i look for an immediate fix, they say that one is not available yet?? if this is really such a serious issue w/ faulty air bags, why has it taken so long for a viable solution to yet be announced?

Takata recall ---i have had notification for over 1 year now (july 2016) and still (november 2017 ) no one can provide a replacement for my truck passenger side air bag. need immediate action.

Takata recall, it has been a year and five months since there was a "safety" recall issued for this vehicle, yet " ford motor company understands that the vehicles involved in the recent takata recall are safe to drive while you are waiting for replacement parts." this is unacceptable. either this is a safety issue or not. if the vehicle is "safe to drive," then why have a recall? if it isn't safe, then seventeen months (and counting) is far too long to wait for a remedy.

Takata recall why is this recall still active? why is there no remedy, and the vehicle manufacturers act as if it is no big deal that a vehicle they manufactured could kill you!

Takata recall; i took vehicle to northtowne lincoln mercury dealership and they told me that ford has issued a recall #16s26 for the airbag to be replaced but they have not issued any new parts to them and until they get replacement parts from takata there is nothing they can do for me except tell me just to keep driving the vehicle. i bought the vehicle used and as far as i know the airbag has never deployed. i have never wreck it.

I contacted the fremont ford dealership (in fremont california) to inquire about getting our airbags replaced. they acknowledged that our truck does fall under the takata recall but they are not doing anything at this time and do not have or have had any replacement parts available, nor do they know if or when they will get them. the person i spoke with was a women who identified herself as margarita. i would like our airbag replaced but do not know how to proceed if my local ford dealership is (what i perceive to be as) ignoring the recall.

Takata inflator recall i call the dealership but no airbags for my truck are being made so what happens to my truck now it losses value due to takata.

Recall letter july 2016 - passenger frontal airbag inflator may rupture. when parts become available for safety recall 16s26 ford motor company will notify you via mail. no letter was ever received .went to ford in denton last week and they are still doing driver airbags, and when they get the parts for us we would be notified.

Takata recall the dealer told us that there is no parts available to make the repair. there is no eta when the parts will be available.

Takata recall- ford dealership still has no remedy for replacements even though this recall was from 6-1-2016. recall number 16v384 ford recall number 16s26. we called as soon as we received notice and were told they would contact us when replacement parts were available. as of today, 10-31-17, we have yet to get any notice and when you go on line to ford dealership, it still states parts are not yet available. (recall incomplete, remedy not yet available.) this is very concerning as this should have been available at time of recall.

Takata recall -- called local dealer town & country in alamosa, colorado to have bags replaced and was told the company has no current plan to do so.

Takata recall - my vehicle is involved in the takata air bag recall and i contacted my local dealer as requested concerning this recall. they advised that they have no parts availability date for necessary parts to replace or repair the passenger air bag in my vehicle. they also indicated that the vin indicates that the driver air bag is not noted as being a takata item or it has previously been serviced as i have had this vehicle since july 2015 and have no knowledge of anything prior to that time. my local ford dealer indicates that to their knowledge nothing is in work to furnish the parts necessary to correct the issue with the takata air bags other then their recent filing for bankruptcy which certainly indicates these necessary parts most likely will not be forthcoming. is the nhtsa involved in any action to assist in making the necessary recall parts available to the ford service network so our vehicles can be repaired or what other action can be pursued to resolve this unsafe situation with these vehicles? .

Takata recall nothing has happened yet, ford said they were unable to fix the issue.

Takata recall notified in july 2016 that passenger airbag was a safety hazard. told they would call when the part was available. called ford customer service in june 2017 and told the parts were still not available and this was not really a safety hazard and i would be contacted when the parts are available. received a letter today from ford that they want me to voluntarily participate in an "important safety research study" to "replace the takata driver airbag inflator free"/ "this is not a safety recall". so they have the parts to replace the driver side that has not been recalled and after 16 months ford still hasn't the parts to replace the passenger airbag that is a safety hazard. something is wrong at ford/

Takata recall - i received a recall notice in july, 2016 and have yet to get my airbag replaced. on october 26, 2017 (over a year later) i phoned our local ford dealership here in columbus, ga (rivertown ford @ 706-653-7420) and was informed that they do not know when the parts will be available. i was given the number for ford customer relations center (800-392-3673) whereupon i phoned and was told the same thing. my husband drives a toyota corolla with the same recall notice. he is getting his repaired on 10/28/17 through rivertown toyota, columbus, ga. i do not understand why ford is not expediting this repair since it is a major concern regarding life or death with the airbag possibly rupturing in the event of a crash. thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Takata airbag recall. i contacted scenic ford dealership in my area for the repair of the airbag. i was told that the parts where not available for the repairs and they had no idea when they would have the parts. it is my understanding that there is a risk for injury or death if the airbag were to rupture or inflate. the recall began in june, 2016 and parts are still not available? i am at unease driving my vehicle knowing i am at risk. i would like the repairs completed asap.

Although a recall notice was received, i took truck to the dealership, team ford in steubenville, ohio and they told me they could not replace the inflator. the truck has 1500 miles on it and has been kept in a garage for the past 6 years. is it safe to drive with a passenger in the car and how would i be able to get the inflator replaced? i am planning to move the truck to florida with someone riding in the passenger seat. please advise what i need to do to have the manufacturer take action. thank you.

Takata recall checked with two different ford dealerships, they claims no parts are available, it has been 10 months since original notice of recall, it seems like if you don't purchase the ranger from them they're no interested in re-placing the airbag.

Takata recall - i was involved in an accident involving a deer hit in october 2017 which caused my airbag to deflate improperly. the plastic ruptured, the airbag only partially inflated and the plastic came back and punctured my stomach. if i would not have had my seatbelt on, it would have gone deep into my stomach, possibly causing surgery. i never received an airbag recall notice prior to this incident. i had purchased in the truck in december 2014. my vehicle ended up totaled in the accident, but i knew there was a problem with the inflation of the airbag.
