I received a letter stating that there was a recall on my car due to the passenger air bag but the parts to replace it are not in, i want to disable the air bag to avoid possible injury until it can be fixed but the dealership will not do this until the company will authorize it. the recall describes personal injury or possible death as a result of the defect. i do not want to drive my car and if i am injured or die as a result of this....my family will sue the heck out of the company and the agency overseeing the industry. just give dealerships the permission to deactivate the passenger side air bags so we don't have to ride around with miniature ieds in our dashboards or compensate us for rental cars.

Ford does not have replacements and air bag is partially coming out of passenger side dash.

Takata recall. received recall notification in mar 2017 from ford. search of vin on safecar.gov shows remedy not yet available. contacted dealership, they have no expected date for remedy and have received no guidance from ford manufacturer to date. this is unacceptable. ford is supposed to be working on supplier for this recall, yet seems to be doing nothing. the nhtsa also has not initiated inquiry as to why ford has not yet started to work on this recall - also unacceptable. this is a serious recall, i wish someone would make ford act. now receiving bankruptcy notices from takata informing me that i may not have any remedy after all. someone needs to make ford step up or create an exception for vehicle owners to have airbag switch installed on their vehicle. i will be contacting my congressman on monday about the switch exception - i suggest everyone who owns a ford fusion 2009 do the same. there is no fix on the horizon and no one seems to be working to address this issue. *js

Regarding recall nhtsa recall 17v-024. have contacted ford motor numerous times with the same response; no parts available at this time. this response is unsatisfactory. i feel they are not looking for replacement passenger air bags due to the year of this vehicle. someone needs to light a fire under them to get them to take responsibility and resolve this issue.

Takata recall- airbag-update on complaint # 11062997, filed 1/16/18- airbag replacement is still not available, local ford company can not order-i do travel to humid area (al.), i have been authorize to rent a vehicle, but my private car insurance will not cover, mechanical break down, diminish value, and lay up time, hence i will be out a daily amount of money. there appears no end in site , and i do not have the extra money for added insurance for a lengthy period i have not experience a failure-but feel unsafe using my car with anyone in the passenger seat. .

Takata recall, have yet to receive information from the dealership about the parts needed to replace the airbag from a recall almost a year ago. i have contacted dealership multiple times and told someone will call me but never received a call.

I was given back in march 2017 a paper stating my airbags on my 2009 ford fusion were defected. months later in approximately october 2017 i received a post card stating tk holdings inc is filling bankruptcy, who made my cars airbags. the post card also stated ""if your vehicle contains a defective or potentially defective airbag inflator and is under recall, contact your nearest dealership immediately to schedule a free repair". when i called the ford dealer this december stated they would fix it when they get the parts in. i have been told this since i first called back in march too. it is a huge safety risk to be driving my car, if the airbags do not work properly. this needs fixed as soon as possible, but ford is not helping at all and will not replace these in a timely manner. this is unacceptable and a safety risk.

Takata recall. i initially received a recall letter from ford dated march,2017 which stated that when parts are available i would be notified that parts are available at which time i would contact the local ford dealership to have the issue corrected. i received no other correspondence from ford in 2017. then this year in 2018 i received another notice from ford, stating the i can contact the local ford dealership and they would provide me with a rental vehicle until the parts come in for repair. i then called ford of murfreesboro in murfreesboro, tn so that they could provide me with a rental vehicle until they are able to replace the defective air bags. i was instructed by jonathan greene in their shop to email him photos of all 4 sides of my vehicle, along with a photo shot of the vin plate and photo shot of the odometer, which i did on june 12, 2018. i did that as instructed, but i never heard back from him. i then re-sent the email to him on july 3, 2018, but as of this date, i have heard nothing more from ford or from the ford or murfreesboro dealership. therefore i still have the defective airbags in my vehicle, waiting for a crash to occur. it would appear that ford would want to take care of this asap in order to avoid a catastrophic occurrence and possible suit, but no, i have had no further response and no indication of concern on the part of ford.

Takata recall - personal vehicle is not disabled but how can a top tier vehicle manufacturer be allowed to defer repairs regarding a "safety" recall for such a long period of time? very frustrating and dangerous for all concerned.

Takata recall passenger frontal airbag inflator may rupture.i received safety recall notice 17s01/nhtsa recall 17v-024 on march 2017.i have not received the letter from ford motor company that parts are available and to contact dealer as of october26,2017?

Tamara recall. i received a recall notice in the mail march 2017 telling me of the airbag recall. that i would be notified by ford motor company via mail when parts become available. i called my local ford twice. once in may and then again in august. both times they informed me that the parts were still not available. i still have not been notified and my car isn't fixed.

Takata recall we have tried to get our airbags replaced but ford does not have the parts available and will not supply a rental car in the interim. we don't feel like the car is safe for our daughter to be driving and want the matter resolved.

Takata inflators i am trying to remedy a recall on my vehicle and have been told by the dealership in which i bought my car that i am unable to do so because the manufacturer is not providing the needed equipment or parts. in the recall description it says that if the airbag deploys the passengers could be killed, how am i supposed to feel comfortable driving myself or my young son around in a vehicle with such issues? plus, apparently this was first an issue back in july of 2016, so i am not exactly sure why there isn't a solution to this issue yet. *tr
