39 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2018

Takata recall - I have received several letters about this recall yet there still are not any parts available. Most recently was a letter from the nys dmv warning of the danger of driving my vehicle without the airbag repaired and that I could get a rental vehicle until parts are available and my vehicle is repaired. I called my local dealer today and was told that the parts still are not available, they should be by end of September, and to call back then. When I asked about a rental vehicle as instructed in letters from both Ford and the nys dmv, I was told that rental vehicles are also not available. When checking for more info, there is indication that my vehicle is still driveable. Is it really safe to drive or not? why am I told to get this "potentially lifesaving repair" and parts are available if they are not? if it is a "potentially lifesaving repair" then should I really be driving my car?.

46 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2018

I have had a recall on the takata airbags for approximately 1 year and Ford is unable to fix due to unavailable replacement parts. We have tried several Ford service centers in NY and PA. I received a letter from dmv which states that the situation could "kill or seriously injure you and your passengers. . . ". I am shocked that Ford isn't doing more to remedy this situation as soon as possible.

47 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2018

Takata recall- I have been notified of the recall and every Ford dealer I have called has said they don't have the parts and they have no idea when they will be available. This is absolutely unacceptable. New york state dmv sent a notice that this is an urgent recall and if the air bag randomly deploys it can cause serious harm to anyone in the car. How can I repair my car if parts are not available, this is outrageous. I would very much like to have the repairs done so I will have peace of mind and feel safe driving my car.

52 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2018

Takata recall the warning letter 12/17 said not to let anyone sit in the front passenger seat. I took this very seriously and even rented a car when the entire family traveled together to avoid putting someone in that seat. On June 20, 2018, my daughter was driving our Edge. She was hit by someone who ran the red light. The driver front wheel area and bumper area were taken off. The oil pan and wheel chassis were damaged as well. The vehicle was claimed a "total loss. " none of the airbags went off. The accident occurred on 6/20/2018. I had requested a rental car under the "recall notice" on 6/11/2018 from Ford autonation. On 6/11/2018 autonation said they could only put me in a Ford150. As I am too short and not able to see very well over the steering wheel as well as it hurts my hip to get up in a truck that high. Therefore I requested a car similar to the Edge. After calls and visiting autonation, they never called me back after the one conversation on 6/11. Then I called Ford on 6/18/2018 who gave me a case number and sent to a different auto dealership. The rental car is just ready for pickup today.

57 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2018

I was sold a car from a car dealership in 2016 that had an airbag recall. My truck was purchased in 2016 and the takata airbag recall has been out since around 2014. I do not understand how this could happen with people dying from this defected airbag and severely injured. I also had a wreck in this vehicle in 2017 and I am grateful the airbag did not come because I am a mother of two children. I've sent my car to Ford on several occasions for maintenance and no one told me about the recall. It wasn't until June 2018, I was informed. The letter stated it was the second notice but it was actual my first letter. I was offered a rental vehicle, that I am currently in now. They are asking for me to return the vehicle but my husband has it in another state. He is CO-owner of the vehicle. He didn't want me to drive it and neither is he. It is not safe to drive with my small children. I am asking for an extension on the rental or some type of reimbursement for my safety and troubles. Ive spent over 5,000 dollars in repairs on a car that had a airbag recall way before it was purchased.

58 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2018

Takata recall- I got the recall notice just a few weeks ago. I do not want to be driving this vehicle with my wife or children anymore until I know it is fixed. I have called Ford dealers and they said it won't be fixed for sometime and there are no loaner or rental cars available. So now I have an unsafe vehicle that my wife or kids could be seriously injured in or killed and Ford won't do anything about it. I am also paying on this vehicle.

Takata recall. My Edge is a 2008. All that I read advised older vehicles are at a higher risk. I believe a 10 year old vehicles qualifies as "older". I am not able to take a second person with me anywhere unless they sit in the back seat. The last info I received has scared me. I am not in a position to purchase a new car and I feel that it is beyond time that this issue is taken care of. You can not contact Ford about this. I was told by one of their representatives that their email has been remove because of the number of complaints. I paid for a 5 passenger vehicle and it is now a 4 passenger because of this issue. Local Ford dealers have pretty much written the issue off and honestly I guess it is beyond their control to do anything. Ford won't take complaints. I am beyond frustrated with this issue.
