3 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2018

Takata inflators I have a saftey recall for my airbags. I am in the dallas area and I got in contact with all of the Ford dealerships in the dallas area and non of them have the replacement parts. After researching the issue I should not drive with a passenger because if the airbag were to inflate it could send metal fragments flying causing serious injury and death. This is obviously a major concern and due to the fact that I use my vehicle daily for carpool I need to get this taken care of as soon as possible. However the Ford dealerships have said they don't have the parts and they are not sure when they will get them, specifically north central Ford in richardson which is my dealership. This is cause for major concern for me that I cannot get this replaced.

"takata recall" I received the first recall notice July 2016. I just received a second notice dated December 2017. Under the heading what should you do? on this second notice, says "do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat. The air bag inflator could rupture during deployment in a crash and cause injuries or death. " I often have to drive with five people in the vehicle. Not allowing anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat is not an option and I cannot afford to purchase different vehicle. This notice also says that remedy parts have been delayed. As long as it is taking Ford to remedy this situation, why are they not required to furnish loner vehicles.

17 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2016

Takata recall I have been informed that my vehicle is no longer safe to drive while some one is in the passenger seat. If deployed �metal fragments-to be expelled causing serious injury or death. �I called Ford to see if they might have a temporary solution reguarding this hazardous recall, since the possible replacement will not become available until the spring of 2018, the representative could not provide me with an answer. According to the rep Ford is not responsible. This airbag inflator is a huge problem in my life and I would have liked if they had rentals for the duration of this issue. Not only is it a hazard for the owner and my family but it is unethical for Ford company not to consider what could happen to the people who own defective vehicles. I own this Ford and have a family of five. I don't have other means to travel and take kids to school, soccer, and softball. This vehicle is our only way to be where we have to be. Ford is wrong for putting us out and putting my familys lives jeopardy.

Failure Date: 06/10/2016

Takata recall. Over seventeen months ago, I received information that there was a safety recall on my passenger frontal airbag. Because there is no remedy for the problem, I continue driving my car with passengers every single day with an airbag that has a ruptured inflator resulting in metal fragments striking my vehicle occupants that can cause serious injury or death if I am involved in an accident. Being that there is no remedy for the problem, I have to continue driving in the danger of a possible death of my passenger due to faulty airbags.

20 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

Takata inflators, Ford recall 16s26. I have not been able to get this recall taken care of. The dealer, and Ford tell me different stories. Ford promised a paid for rental if you are uncomfortable driving, the deal said no to a rental or a loaner. I have been on a "waiting list" for parts for almost a year, and they still do not have the parts. I receive no communication from the dealer except if I call to check. Sometimes I am told I am not on the list, other times, there are no parts, all times no rental coverage or loaners available. I luckily have not had an accident, but I am so frustrated with the dealer and Ford I am ready to get rid of the car and get a different brand. They do not seem to care about safety or communication. It is terrifying to get a recall from Ford saying not to drive your car due to life threatening safety recall, but the dealer says it isn't a big deal. Who do you believe, but I am no longer feeling like I should be patient or give them the benefit of the doubt. I am looking for alternatives to this issue.

23 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

Takata recall. My vehicle was recalled due to the potential severity of harm to occupants when an airbag inflator ruptures. I was notified on June 1 2016 of this problem. I have called the Ford dealer a few times during the last 19 months and the answer is the same. No parts available. More recently, I received a letter from Ford advising that I should not use the front seat for passengers. Now my SUV is essentially a taxi cab. I'm sure you would agree this is a very serious matter. At this time, Ford has chosen not to assist consumers who unfortunately purchased a potentially lethal product from them. I think the NHTSA should require all manufacturers to compensate consumers who now have 1/2 a vehicle. In addition, I am concerned about the value of this vehicle. I do have one question you may assist with. In the 3rd amendment to the cro, paragraph 33 assigns a priority group to vehicles. According to my calculations, my recall notice of June 1 2016, along with the hah and age of my vehicle (2007), puts me in pg4. (March 31 2018 correction date). Append a of the document indicates that the 2007 Ford Edge is in pg5. Can you advise which pg my vehicle (and I) are in? I have been most patient, but 19 months of driving a potential bomb has made my patience dwindle. Please help us resolve this situation before more lives are lost. Thank you, lauren davis.
