Tamara recall been two years and still not fixed they don't have the parts. no accident just want it fixed. i done called ford dealership they say they don't have the parts.

Takata recall, i took my car to the dealer with the recall notice and they said there was nothing they could do since takata went out of business. i went back again and they said they didn't have the parts to fix the air bag.

Takata recall i was notified in july of 2016 that i had one of the affected airbags on my front passenger side. as of this date i have not received any other info. it has been 17 months on top of the fact that this car is almost 10 years old, and still no new airbag.

Takata recall: in july 2016 (2016) i was notified about the front passenger seat airbag recall by ford motor company. i have telephoned my local dealer a couple times since without "luck" that i can get the repair. i've contacted ford motor through their chat line and been told the same thing the letter said, "you'll be notified". i year (almost) later i still live in fear when someone has to ride in my front passenger seat! this is totally ridiculous and shouldn't happen in the good old usa. i have a friend with an accord (honda) who got her car fixed within about 4 months (same problem) and another who has an infiniti who got their car fixed (same problem) in about 6 months. pretty much says, "don't buy american" in my estimation! after 1 year, i think ford should start compensating people they have not been able to service because not only is this inconvenient it is dangerous. news reports say the situation is especially bad for hot / humid climates...well, that's just where i live!

Takata recall i was notified in july 2016 of the airbag recall and was told there was no fix at that time and i would be notified when there was a fix. i revisited my local ford dealership in july of 2017 and was told there was still no fix. i received from tk holdings inc. about them filing for chapter 11 and i should contact my dealer immediately and have my airbag fixed. there is still no fix available.

Received 5 notices regarding airbag safety problems (first dated july 2016 second dated december 2017, third dated june 2018 and final one dated august 2018) i called a ford dealer in my area in september 2018 and was informed them of the dmv notice. was told that the dmv don't decide these matters we do and said i should get a notice within 2 to 3 weeks. well it's now november and no notice. since we only have this car we continue to drive it. we have no other form of transportation. i have been very worried about driving this car but have no other options. any help would be welcome. thank you

Takata recall a recall letter for our vehicle was sent in july 2016 and it is now july 2017 and nothing has been done about the recall. this is very unacceptable. how can it take over a year to resolve this problem? this issue needs to be escalated so these vehicles can be repaired/fixed before some one else gets killed from the faulty passenger air bags.

Takata recall: ford airbag recall letter was from 2016, ford dealership is just now able to order the passenger airbag, parts department estimated another 3 weeks before getting the part.

Received a recall notice over 15 months ago and the actual dashboard where the air bag is housed is separating from the rest of the dashboard. haven;t had any contact from the manufacturer and the recall is still open.

Reference complaint no. 11006081 and no. 11006075 airbag replacement - 2007 mustang and 2008 fusion: i found the following information on a honda website - "the 'alpha' driver-front airbag inflators were the subject of the first takata airbag inflator recalls starting in 2008. in most cases, the previous owners of these affected vehicles did not replace the inflators under those recalls and, thus, the vehicles remain unrepaired. now, because of the time that has passed, they are even more likely to rupture if the driver's airbag deploys in a crash. in fact, in testing done by takata, alpha inflators removed from vehicles in consistently hot and humid areas showed a rupture rate as high as 50 percent." can i expect the same, higher percentage of kill rate, in the inflators in my 2007 mustang and 2008 fusion as they age, as found by honda? i will pay to have the airbags/inflators replaced - request your office provide the correct part numbers and recommended place to have the work correctly accomplished. i did not receive a response from your office to either referenced complain, any information your office can provide is appreciated. v/r, tom

Takata reall - over a year the issue is still unresolved. what does your office recommend? how unsafe does your office believe the vehicle is to drive? how long did your office allow ford to fix this safety issue? also, i received the 15s21 recall (driver side air bag) on the families ford mustang 2007; however, a 15s21 recall was never received on the 2008 fusion (driver side air bag) why?

Received recall notice almost 1 year ago regarding the takata air bag. the dash is now separating at the air bag location. concerned about safety of occupants.

Takata recall, received recall notice in july of 2016 and have not yet as of 3/27/17 had recall fixed. do not want anyone to get injured due to manufacture inability to remedy said recall.

Takata recall i received a letter from ford one year and a half ago stating that my passenger airbag was defective. they stated that it was a serious issue that can cause death or serious injury. thwy said they would send out letters soon to fix the problem and i waited for months and i did not receive anything from them. i called and ford kept me on hold making it impossible to speak to a live person. i filed a complaint and they finally sent me a response. the letter states that the repairs have been delayed. when will they fix this? this is a serious matter. please do something about this.

Takata recall - ford dealer does not have parts to fix. it has been since july 2016 that i was notified of recall. dealer claims they do not have parts to fix.it is now march 2018. dangerous. has caused deaths.

Takata recall- i received a notice from ford in july 2016 about my passenger airbag and the notice stated that i would be notified when to bring my car into the dealer it is now march 2017 and i have not heard anything more from ford and i am still driving this vehicle. i am worried that if i get into an accident my passenger may not be protected

Takata recall this is not a new recall and all ford will say is that they are working to get parts to fix the problem..with no idea of when this might be taken care of..this is a very dangerous situation. nothing has happened..am i to understand that until i or my loved ones are injured that i can not even enter a complaint?

Takata recall, received notice of recall july 2016, always told that ford either doesn't have the parts or they haven't been sent to dealers yet. last check-oct. 26th, 2017 with dealership. there is potential for serious injury or death if the airbag ruptures.

Takata recall: it has been almost a year since i received a recall notice on my 2008 ford, fusion. if this defect can cause serious injury and or death i can't believe that this has not been addressed quicker. i am still waiting for a notice when to bring in my vehicle.

I received a letter in july of 2016 for a recall for air bags, called ford two times last year and airbag not in. i called my ford dealer today october 28, they still do not have air bag. also received in mail yesterday that's takata is declaring bankruptcy.

Takata recall letter was mailed out july 2016 for this safety recall 16s26. ford motor company has never mailed another letter stating the part is available to be replaced. i contacted five star ford of plano upon receipt of this correspondence and was advised another letter will be sent when parts are available. no 2nd ford motor company letter has been received. what is the next step? the initial letter is attached.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). takata recall i was given notice by ford with a recall notice dated july 2016. tk holdings sent me notice to schedule a replacement in the mail 11-2-2017. i went to yreka, ca. ford dealership and they will not do it till ford says to do it. ford is dragging their feet in my opinion, hoping these older model years will hit the junk yards before they have to replace them. the local dealership says it will be in excess of $1500. to do the job. is it time to file a lawsuit.

Takata recall. safety recall notice 16s26 / nhtsa recall 16v-38. i received a recall notice about the takata recall from ford motor co. more than a year ago (july 2016). i have never heard from ford since and have questioned my local dealer several times and have been told they have not received the parts. the notice stated that the issue was with the passenger side airbag, so i am concerned about letting anyone ride in that seat. i believe that having to wait more than a year with no response or to have this resolved is unreasonable and a real safety issue for me and my family.

Takata recall it has been 2 yrs since the recall and still have not had the issue fixed, when i check says not remedy yet and receive a letter saying to not let any one ride in front in passenger side. really what is the point of having a 5 passenger car and no one can sit in front. ford needs to make things right or should disconnect the air bags till the problem can be fixed.

Takata recall. the the manufacturing has exceeded a reasonable amount of time for recall remedy. i started getting recall notices on this recall in july 2016. i got a notice from ford in september 2018 that stated that repair is now available and to have repairs made asap. i had my ford dealer order the air bag on september 17th 2018. as of today they have not received the air bag. when i contact ford customer service they told me to work with my dealership. my dealership tells me there is nothing that can be done until ford ships the airbag. ford confirmed that the order was made.

Takata recall i got a recall letter in the mail in july about my passenger side airbag inflator may rupture in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment. a ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death. i've been very scared to drive my car every since. i do not feel like this issue is being resolved in a timely manner.

Takata recall i was first notified that my car has a recall july 2016. it is now november 2018 and i have yet to hear from ford that parts are available to repair my car. when can i expect my car to be repaired? also, am i able to sell my car without the repairs?

Takata recall. i received a recall notice july, 2016. i have called ford as well as my local dealer and they still have no timeline for when the parts will be available to repair this defect. i have not as of yet had an issue, but i am very unhappy with the lack of progress in resolving this issue. *tr

Takata recall - despite repeated efforts to get the airbag replaced through seelye ford in kalamazoo mi as directed by ford recall notices (first notice received july 2016) they still have been unable to do it. latest notice received in june 2018 indicated parts were anticipated in 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2018....still not available as of oct 29, 2018- have made repeat visits and phone calls. have been unable to transport any passengers in the front seat since receiving this notice over 2 years ago. can't sell it without this repair - so overall a real mess.

Received important safety recall in july of 2016, and still have yet to receive any additional information.

Takata recall. i received a letter concerning the problem on 7/2016 and i called again today and parts are still not available. i'm concerned for my safety and my passenger(s) safety with this problem unresolved.

I received recall letter back in july 2016 regarding the passenger air bag recall. safety recall notice 16s26/nhtsa recall 16v-384. and the issue hasn't been correct to date. i am nervous drfiving my car with a passenger and now the dash is peeling away from the air bag site.

Takata recall - received a letter july 2016 about airbag recall, but haven't received anything since. status on nhtsa website shows it's still unresolved.

Takata recall ... received notice in july 2016 and still have not been notified for appointment to get repaired, i did call dealership where i purchased car a few months back and they claim that parts were not yet available. this is unacceptable!! this is a safety issue for all who occupy my vehicle as well as the million others who occupy these recalled vehicles in the event of a airbag deployment who is responsible for an injury or death. why or what is the hold up... the car owners have a right to know, stand behind your company, maybe i should let mr. trump know about this lol
