Takata recall and possible fuel leak recall. purchased vehicle 6/6/2015 and have never received recall notice letter, nor was vehicle fixed by dealer.

My vehicle ford edge model 2008, lost control as well as speed when the wrench light came to the dashboard, immediately after the airbag light lit up, i had little or no engine power to engage gear to keep up with traffic speed. my speed dropped to 40 miles or less per hour. very dangerous situation because at that moment the odometer lighting also went off. driving on a highway at night no one drives below 40 miles per hour, made the situation pretty grave and dangerous. the problem comes from the power train faulty sensors near the transmission need to be replaced costing over $800,00, as for the airbag i haven't received a invoice yet.

Takata recall i have received several letters about the takata recall from ford and from the department of motor vehicles. unfortunately, ford does not have my airbag available. therefore, i am at risk when i drive the vehicle. i need to receive assistance with ford having the airbag available so i and/or passengers in my vehicle are not at risk of injury or death in case the airbag deploys..

Takata recall. i filed a request with bill currie ford for replacement of my takata airbags over a year ago. they still are saying they do not have parts in stock for the passenger side. they sold me this vehicle in 2014 knowing that this was a problem and did not reveal the problem at the time. for over a year they have failed to respond to replacing my airbags even though i have requested it 3 times. they are finally replacing the driver's side airbag next week but are saying they still do not have parts for the passenger side.

I got a notice by mail that my passenger airbag may rupture if used. there is a recall. it has been over a year and no ford dealership will fix it, telling me that they don't have the parts. i have spoken to several dealership managers, and even called ford headquarters and they created a case number because i was telling them that this is not right to make me wait so long to drive a safe car and that they were putting my family at risk due to their negligence.

Takata recall nothing they can do about it.

Takata air bag recall

Takata recall i received a recall letter in july 2016. i just called the ford dealer, and they said there are still no airbags available for this recall. my question is what is a timely manner? i waited over a year and 3 months and still no replacement. if this is a safety recall, ford and its vendors are not making efforts to fix this. in fact i think takata and ford are really not concerned about my safety...

Takata recall. i was notified july 2016 ,that my passenger air bag by takata are defective. until it is replaced i should not have anyone ride in the front passenger seat. so for almost 2 years i have to tell friends and family not to ride in the front passenger seat. i am very unhappy with ford.. i think the time is way too long. not great pr for ford .i am ready to put a sign in my car window. don`t buy a ford edge . no one can ride in the front passengers side., because of defective airbag

Takata inflators this is my second complaint. the first one, made in december 2017, does not show up under the complaints section, which makes it seem like perhaps all of the complaints are not recorded appropriately by the nhtsa! the first notification of the airbag recall was received in july 2016. each time i have called the dealership since then, i have been told replacement airbags are still unavailable for my 2008 ford edge. i see on this site that some owners have received a letter telling them not to use the front passenger seat. that would be completely unacceptable, as the reason we purchased the ford edge was so that we would have enough seats to safely transport our family members. there is no way to disable the airbags, according to the vehicle's manual, and i am terrified the airbag will cause death or serious injuries to me, my spouse, one of my children or grandchildren. it is taking a toll on my physical and mental well-being whenever i have to drive my car. i cannot sell my car thru carmax or one of the other sites, because they do not accept vehicles with unaddressed recalls. and it would be morally and ethically wrong to sell a dangerously defective vehicle to another individual without disclosing the airbag defect. and who would want to buy a defective vehicle! so i cannot even purchase a new safe vehicle in which to transport my loved ones!! this airbag recall situation has already taken an unreasonable amount of time to resolve; with no anticipated resolution in the future! does anyone at the nhtsa have any idea when this situation might be resolved? thank you.

Takata recall i received the recall notice in july 2016. i have spoken to my dealer several times about when my air bag replacement will be taken care of. they had no answer except to say my vehicle was not from or in a region that experiences excessive hot temperatures. therefore, my vehicle is not considered to be a vital concern. my vehicle was manufactured and shipped to arizona where it spent 4 years until i bought it in 2012 and brought it to michigan. arizona's temperatures are excessively hot. so, i don't understand why my vehicle wouldn't be at the top of the repair list. if i wanted to sell it no one will buy it unless the air bag has been replaced.

Takata recall. notified of recall on july 2016. still not repaired and no date for repairs. ford refuses to give a rental car. yet it has been 15 months since being notified. i have spoken with local dealerships and a ford representative named ann at 800-392-3673 with no results. i need to be able to use my front passenger seat. i live in a southern state with high humidity and my car is older(2008). what can i do to expedite the replacement of the airbag or have ford supply me with a rental car. *js

Takata recall. i was notified of this recall in july 2016. i contacted my local ford dealer and was told this repair could not be done for a while. i have been checking back with them to no avail. in june of 2018, i received a letter that the repair would be in sept of 2018. i checked with the dealer in sept. and was told that they still did not have the parts, but it would be any day now. i check again in oct. an was told that ford made an error in shipping out the parts to the dealers and now they do not know when the repair will be done. they told me they have no way to contact ford and get any answers. in the meantime, this is our only auto and we cannot afford a rental. this is dangerous and it needs to be completed now> it appears that the local dealer does not have control of this matter. it is ford that is not completing the repair. it is now time for the gov. to get involved in this and resolve this recall before someone is seriously hurt or worse. please!!

Takata recall - i continue to get the run around from my local ford dealership about what steps ford is taking to address this recall. despite notice of the recall in july 2016, ford claims it has no idea when any remedy or replacement parts will be available despite the documented risk to health and safety this problem poses. nor can ford offer any alternative solutions. if the recall of these dangerous parts cannot be completed ford should be required to compensate owners and find a way to provide them with safe vehicles. the lack of a fix to this problem 1.5 years (or more) after it being publicly announced is not acceptable.

Takata recall. my complaint is it seems like this recall isn't being completed in a timely manner. i received the recall in july 2016, contacted ford in october 2016 and as od december 2016 still no action. that is nearly six months. i believe that something that could rupture and send metal fragments striking occupants should not be taking this long to repair. any information and a time line for repair would be great. thank you for your reply. concerned recall car owner

Takata recall***" received notice in july 2016 that my vehicle has been identified in the takata recall, for a defective front passenger air bag inflator. at first the notice, and then several subsequent calls to ford motor company headquarters, all stated it was safe to carry a front pasdenger. as others months and months passed without any notice. i made several calls to my local ford dealer over the 18 month period, requesting an appointment for replacement. they actually treated me as if i was stupid for calling without having an official notice to replace the part. finally i received another notice saying parts will be available in the spring, but also staying "do not drive with a passenger in the front seat." fortunately and unfortunately, we have not used the vehicle with a front passenger. so, for the past 21 months i have had only a 1 passenger vehicle, which us in excellent condition and has only 88,000 miles on it. this has been an unbelievable, ridiculous situation for all.

Takata recall - received recall notification from ford in july 2016 stating "when parts are available, ford will send a letter to inform you that parts are available and to...schedule a repair." it is now nov 2017 and no notification has ever been received back from ford. according to the takata airbag recall website, a repair remedy for our vin is still not available...meaning we are still "at risk" and have been for almost a year and a half after receiving the recall notification. how can this be allowed to be acceptable????
