Takata recall on passenger side. i have been contacting local dealers fro years and they tell me they do not have a fix and do not know when or if they are going to have a fix for this recall

Takata recall - it has been nearly two years that we have been trying to get the airbag taken care of. the ford dealer says that it has not been able to get the parts needed to fix and ford's customer service recall line says that there is no anticipated date for the parts to be available. this is ridiculous - ford is not putting enough resources into this to have it taken care of and thereby leaves my family with a choice of having a vehicle that is not usable or in the alternative put ourselves in serious danger. the nhtsa should do something about this,

Received recall notice for passenger airbag over one year ago. recall said airbag could send metal into passenger. contacted ford they will not replace the airbag and will not give me any information on when they will be able to replace the airbag. ford has not offered any solutions such as a rental car.

Takata recall - nhtsa recall number 16v384 6/1/2016. it has been over one year and ford states "remedy not yet available". what is taking so long? when can i expect a "remedy?".

I have waited 2 years for the company to replace the airbag and they keep telling me the parts are not in. i cannot use the truck with a passenger as it is a death seat if we get into an accident. we need to use the truck but cannot because of this air bag death trap. please we need to disable the air bag until the parts come in so that if we do get into an accident the passenger is not killed by the air bag. we need satisfaction in this matter.

My vehicle (1 )was involved in collision with another vehicle( 2) failing to yield at an intersection, the non-yielding vehicle(2) was sideswiped as i was not going to take him head on, the front end and side panels on the drivers side of vehicle (1) and the passenger side front and quarter panels received extensive damage from force of impact, driver, passenger, and side airbags failed to deploy upon impact causing injury to vehicle (1) occupants. *tr
