11 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/24/2021

My complaint is not due to a specific incident but that this recall is not being answered to in a timely manner. The Ford motor company has now had 5 months to come up with a solution for this recall why tens of thousands of drivers are being put at risk because of their complacency. Additionally, this vehicle provides income for my family as up to the point of the recall, we're using it through the rental service "turo" which has now restricted our vehicle and will not allow it to be rented. This has caused additional undue financial hardship on our family as we had a projected income for the summer that was ruined due to Ford's lack of care for producing a repair for this recall in a timely manner.

13 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2020

The problem is we have no Ford dealership in ketchikan alaska and no ferry service at the moment. There is no way I can get my vehicle anywhere but need this taken care of, si please respond with some suggestions.

14 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2020

I have been trying to get my airbag recall taken care of on my Ford Edge for over a year now, possibly two. I do not understand why Ford has only identified one dealership in northern nevada as authorized to do this work. It has created very long wait times and in the meantime, the safety of my family is at risk. Ford should be held liable for all personal injuries until the issue is fixed, especially in situations when recall work is being hindered by Ford's business practices. I continue to get letters from Ford telling me that they are concerned about my safety and that I need to get my airbag serviced, however, I am not able to do so because of the unacceptable backlog due to the limited number of Ford dealerships that are authorized to do this work in our region. I believe the takata airbag recall started around 2015 and here we are 5 years later still struggling to get airbags replaced. I am never going to buy another Ford again! other manufacturers seem to be able to help their customers in a much more expedient mannor.

18 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2019

"takata recall" takata recall 16v-384 hello. I received a recall notice in July 2016 regarding air bag replacement on my 2008 Ford Edge. It said parts were not available, and I would be notified again when it was available. In October of 2016 I received military orders to move from California to belgium, and brought my car with me. I received another notice in Nov 2018 that the part was now available. I have since contacted Ford several times via the customer service number provided on the recall form. The representatives have repeatedly given me misinformation. During my last call with customer service just yesterday, it was confirmed by the representative, that due to my current residence in belgium, replacing the airbag was just not an option. She said the Ford recall computer does not connect with belgium. When I contacted a belgium Ford dealer, they had no idea what I was talking about, no visibility to the recall. The dealer here also told me they have had to turn away numerous others in my same situation. I don't know what else to do now. We have a family of four, and I am worried about their safety. I will not be back in the u. S. For at least 3 years, maybe longer. Help!? thank you. W. S.

22 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2018

Takata recall I received a letter regarding NHTSA recall 16v-384 in December of 2017 stating that Ford discovered a severe safety risk in the passenger airbag of my vehicle in July 2016. Almost a year later, in November of 2018 I received another letter that said parts are available for my vehicle and I should call a dealer to schedule an appointment. I called the dealership and scheduled an appointment on December 3, but they said I would have to wait until the part arrived. It has been almost 3 weeks since I made the appointment, and that is nowhere near the amount of time my wife and I have waited for Ford to even have parts available for our vehicle. I am beyond frustrated that every time I drive the car with anyone else they either have to sit in the back or risk metal shrapnel in the case of an accident. This is an especially relevant fear during the winter months when icy road conditions make accidents much more likely. I am extremely disappointed that Ford has known about this issue for 2 and a half years and I am still waiting for a fix for my vehicle. I know I am not the only one waiting, and that makes it even more appalling that Ford has not been more timely in fixing this recall.

26 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2018

Takata recall - received first letters from Ford in July 2016 and have been proactive about asking dealership to fix our car several attempts with each letter. First Ford in fall river, MA has not honored the recall and will not provide a rental vehicle. They say they have not received parts even though our letters from Ford say that parts are available. We have to take two cars anywhere we go as a family because we can't use the front seat costing us time and gas. Our vehicle is high risk for explosion because we lived in FL and GA while owning the vehicle. We're very concerned for the lives of our children 1 and 6 but we can't afford to replace the car out of pocket. We don't want to become collateral damage in Fords corporate damage mitigation calculation. Thanks john and karrie vannucci.
