I was recently involved in a front end collision and the airbags did not deploy.
'takata recall'
Takata recall - i was at a stoplight during rush hour on a busy city street. the light turned green and before i made it 10 feet the car in front of me slammed on his brakes. i hit him from behind, it was a very minor impact but my airbag deployed and exploded/ruptured over my lap. it shattered my iphone and burned my left leg about 6 inches above my knee. upon inspection of the front end of my car i saw virtually no visible damage, only a 2cm paint chip and a very slightly bent license plate. my car drives perfectly, there are no indicator lights except for the airbag light. this leads me to believe that i am dealing with a faulty defective takata airbag. i also want to add that i already had my passenger side airbag replaced due to a recall notice i received about 6 months ago.
Takata recall i took my ford mustang to capital ford, 4222 oleander dr, wilmington, nc, 28403 about 2 months ago for service. the service advisor said they did not have air bags for passenger side recall and would order one and call to schedule an appointment when it came it. i called the ford dealer again yesterday about the airbag and spoke with another person, a female in their service department. i asked about scheduling the air bag replacement and she looked up my record of servie at their dealership. astonishingly, the airbag had never been ordered. the original service advisor clearly could care a less if the bag blew up spewing shrapnel in my passengers faces, how grossly negligent. the woman said they were out ot airbags and would have to order one and someone from the department would call me back about it and another unrelated issue. incredibly, no one has called me back. it is clear this dealership is only interested in high dollar repairs taking up appointment times and could care a less about the exploding air bag defective product they sold because they can't charge for it. i think this negligence and continuous kicking the can down the road is policy. the dealer has a monopoly and is the only ford dealership in the city so they can use that advantage to bully customers and refuse to repair deadly defects. i think an investigation into this is warranted to see just how many other people are being given the "oh we'll have to order it and call you back to schedule it" lie. this is clearly immoral and reflective of the owner's greed and indecency. since the original service advisor failed to order my replacement airbag more types of cars have been added to the recall. it is plainly evident that the omission by this company is an unfair and deceptive trade practice seriously detrimental to the consumer acting reasonably under the circumstances.
I had the drivers side airbag replaced but they did not do the passenger side airbag at the same time so now its a major inconvenience to go back into the dealer for another round of waiting. they said they would come to my home (as recall notice number three and four spelled out) to perform this service but they did not show up as set up in advance. the dealer is golden circle ford in jackson tn (731-554-7142) and the service rep is melinda. since the dealerships are not serious about performing this recall i guess like millions of other owners i will not try to get this done. the dealerships are not taking this recall seriously and ford is not pushing them to perform this service in a timely manner. i think you are going to have to start put growing fines in place to get their attention.

I have been to my ford dealership 4 different times to have the airbag recall taken care of and every time i go they say the parts are back ordered. i don't believe ford anymore and i don't believe they have anymore parts to handle this recall. i am tired of waiting. this is a critical recall that could kill a front passenger in an accident should the airbag deploy. they are not taking this recall serious when they still don't have parts almost 2 years into a recall.
My car is part of the airbag recall but i have yet to receive a recall notice from ford. i prefer not to wait on ford as i am driving the car. how do i get my airbag addressed by ford asap?
Takata recall - i continue to receive recall notices from ford stating that the parts are available and that my life is in danger. however, when i call the ford dealerships they only take my name and state that they will call. i have been on the list for months and am worried about my personal safety.
Takata recall: 17v-024. 03/2017 i received recall letter from ford about passenger airbag recall. 02/2018 almost a year later, i received letter from ford that repair is available and to schedule time with dealer. my local dealer is fairway ford in placentia, ca which is 10 minutes away. since i received the letter until this date i have called them every month to make an appointment for repair. they keep telling me parts are not available and i should wait for them to call me. meanwhile i am forced to drive a dangerous vehicle. something is dreadfully wrong with this recall process.
Takata airbag, i am trying to get a repair of the passenger side airbag. called the local ford dealer 3 mos ago to have the parts ordered but they seem to be dragging their feet. i don't know what else i can do to get this repaired i got my letter stating that the parts were available thru ford but haven't had any luck. would like to drive the car someday?

Takata recall: we cannot locate parts for the recall repair. the notification was mailed approximately 6 weeks ago. why recall the parts if replacements are not available? what is a reasonable amount of time to wait for the parts to arrive at the dealer?

I have been waiting almost two years it seems for parts to become available to replace my passenger side airbag. there has been barely any news about this subject and many of us are starting to lose hope that they are even really concerned about getting these things replaced. i am unable to even have my girlfriend in the car anymore because she feels unsafe. i'm unable to sell the car because people feel unsafe. and i'm unable to trade the car in because the recall is giving the dealerships reason to low-ball me. i live in florida where it is very humid which is what supposedly causing these things to deteriorate, and yet i've gotten no news for months about when my replacement will be ready. i not only think that the automotive companies should start taking more action in getting this worked out but i think that people who are in my situation should receive compensation. why should we have to drive around in cars with hand grenades in the dashboard?

Takata recall has not been completed and local dealer still does not have the parts
Takata recall. i received a letter from ford in march 2017 stating my passenger airbag is being recalled. i called them in may and they still didn't have a replacement available. i called them today and they still don't have them and couldn't tell me when they would be available. i asked for a loaner and they denied me one. i now have a car that only i can ride in and they won't give me a loaner. this amount of time to replace my airbag is way beyond reasonable.

Takata recall - ford dealer is unable to get replacement parts.
Takata recall. i am unable to get a replacement passenger side airbag and the dealership is telling me there is no remedy available. i have received bankruptcy notice regarding this and do not feel that i should have to pay to get this fixed, if parts are finally available. please advise on the direction i should go to make my car safe again.
Takata recall no replacement part has been provided nor an anticipated date for it to be available. i am not allowing any passengers to ride in my vehicle and it has been necessary for me to rent vehicles on occasions where i need to transport people. a replacement part or instructions for removal of the recalled part should have been provided by now. i have a vehicle i can't drive and i can't sell. this is not acceptable. i need some assistance, please.
Takata recall: received recall mar2016. contacted ford dealer regarding fix. i asked him 1. is the car safe to drive. his answer was the nhtsa said it was cleared to drive. 2. is it ok to have a passenger in the affected seat. same answer as in #1. 3. when will the part become available? no clue. he actually said it could be years since takata was bankrupt and they were looking for other manufacturers to make the part. the nhtsa website states recalls are issued when equipment creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. since the ford dealer stated that the nhtsa cleared vehicles under this recall as 'safe to drive', could i get it in writing that my vehicle is safe to drive? i also live in florida where the 50% increase in probability exists due to temp and humidity. also, could you please explain why only the passenger side airbag is subject to exploding and not the drivers side.
