Takata recall. ford has sent me notices for years on this recall. i call every ford dealership in town every time i get one, all claim they don't have parts, and can't get them, and will call me when they do. they never call. i called number provided on recall card, "agent" for ford told me to call the local dealership. i explained i had just finished doing that again and got the same response as i always get and the agent just told me to call the local dealership. ford seems to be trying to circumvent this recall.

Takata recall - local ford dealer, bartow ford, has failed to repair the repair after two phone calls.

Takata recall: problem with ford dealership i received notice of the recall in january. i called the local dealer (purvis ford) in february, again in march and again last week (june 4 ). i spoke with i believe the service manager the last two times. both these times i recall leaving all pertinent information. this process is taking too long. i was told ford has not sent the replacement devices. but i was also asked where i bought this vehicle. that should not matter. what responsibility do ford and the dealer have to fix my vehicle quickly? i am afraid to drive it and will not have passengers. i believe ford is being negligent in their efforts to protect me and my family.

I have received multiple notices from ford about the recall for the airbag and that parts are now available. when i contact a local dealer, they say, parts are not available and they have no idea when the parts will be available. this has been going on now for years. they are acknowledging the recall, but not supplying a solution.
