Takata recall

2006 ford ranger. consumer writes in regards to airbag safety recall. *ld *js

I've received numerous letters claiming that my ranger is unsafe to drive due to the takata airbag recall. as instructed, i called richmond ford lincoln to schedule a tow and replacement of the airbag. on first attempt, i was given a window of time that a tow truck driver would arrive to tow the truck and told i didn't need to be present with the key in order to complete the tow. it never arrived and i never received any word from the dealership. a week later i called again was routed to a few individuals with the third telling me that the part was on back order and wouldn't arrive until august - three months from the date of the call. i've continued to receive mail describing in great detail how deadly this situation is and don't believe i have any recourse at this point. anything that can be done to help remedy the situation and protect the safety of me and my passengers would be much appreciated.

Takata recall, my complaint is the run around that i get from ford. i have called and done everything that ford has asked me to do. i get the same answer, call your dealer and they can help. of course the dealer can not help since they can not get the parts. i would like to know how ford is being held accountable for all of this mess. ford tells me not to drive my vehicle but the dealer can not supply a loaner. what happens if i am driving it and someone gets hurts, who is at fault for whatever could happen?????? i feel they way ford is passing the buck onto the dealer not right and in turn the consumer pays for the mess. what as a consumer can i do to get something done?? thank you
