Takata recall - it has been over a year, still no remedy for the air bag issue. checked with dealer on several occasions as well as the nhtsa website. this is not acceptable! this is a safety issue, and a lot of us drive with children in the car. the vehicle manufacturer installed it, and should be liable to repair the vehicle. then they can fight to be reimbursed. this is ridiculous already!! they are putting people's lives in danger.

Takata recall in march 2019 it will be 3 years that i have been waiting for a replacement airbag. i recently made an inquiry to a ford dealer because it is past the time that a replacement supposedly was to be available. they say they have ordered the part. no one at the repair facility or at the ford customer service center is able to give me any answers as to when the part will be available. of course they have no usa based c/s. the last letter i received stated that parts should be available in the second or third quarter of 2018. it is now the end of the fourth quarter and i had heard nothing. the reality is that i will likely never get a replacement, and i have no choice but to deal with a never ending run-around. in their current class action suit they are denying us a right to sue (should we be injured) by not providing the information in a timely manner (because they require a written opt-out postmarked by a specific date), yet they have been stringing us along for years but give us a couple of weeks to opt out in wring.

'takata recall" - i had receiver a document back in march 2017 that there was a recall on the airbag in my vehicle and still haven't received any informing me of any update on the recall solutions.

I paid cash for my car before i realize that the company had over 4 recalls on the car. 1st recall i was in a rental for over a month because of the nakata airbag if deployed would have caused harm to my passenger by deploying glass-like particals. and now 2nd recall is the anti-lock break which claims it can be open causing you to have to breaker sooner possible causing a crash. i am currently not able to purchase a new car and with the ford settlement haven't heard about the safety of us driving under these conditions.

Takata recall - i called the south bay ford dealer in hawthorne, ca. today on 1/16/17 and was told my car is on the recall list but they can't help me because ford hasn't told the local dealer when the parts will be ready for install and repair. this is an unacceptable answer for the consumer. these bags can "kill you" if they explode. the service dept. was very rude and made me feel unimportant and not worth their time in discussing the matter and told me to call ford! it seems nobody cares anymore. my complaint is when will ford "fix" this problem?

Takada recall - this recall is for my daughter's passenger side air bag. we have been waiting since march of 2017 the date we received the recall notice from ford, to get the airbag replaced. everytime she drives that car or has a passenger in her car it is a safety hazzard knowing other drivers and passenger's have died while waiting for the part or parts to be replaced. i am appalled at the lack of urgency on the car manufacturer's and takeda to fix all the vehichles involved in the recall considering the price to pay is with someone's life. this is absolutely unacceptable. unfortunately for my daughter and many other's affected, the parts will not be available any time soon which is unacceptable.
