1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2026

This dealership is a scam, my car isn't even safe to drive because the (psm) needs to be replaced and none of the modules are communicating but somehow they passed the inspection. I bought this car as is 2/24/26 and 2 days later it started overheating. I took to big al's like they recommended and big al's replaced the coolant assembly the car was still overheating so big al's recommended the electrical shop and I took it to them. Tidewater auto electric didn't find any electrical problems. So I took it to dave's tire and auto center and they said the psm needs to be replaced and all of the module because they are no longer communicating with each other. That's not safe and yet carland sold it to me anyway.

I need to know about and where I can take to fix it.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2023

Called dealer on 10-10-2022, 2:30pm to arrange repair and was told that the dealer would call me when parts were available. I have not been contacted by the dealer or any other party. If this is an urgent safety problem and my life may be at risk, shouldn’t this be a higher priority for the dealer and manufacturer; should I consider my potential loss of life or disability to be collateral damage? urgent matters allowed to languish for a full year or more do not qualify as making a good faith effort to resolve a safety recall.

First when is the recall going to happen. How much longer does this safety hazard have to exist. It could kill me and everyone in the vehicle but yet nothing has been done. Driver side airbag. Your steering is a job. The power steering pump is horrid - bad bad.

10 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/25/2021

I see I have two recalls on my vehicle, one states "remedy not yet available" and was issued over a year ago. Manufacturer recall 21s12, NHTSA recall number 21v1158. When is a remedy going to be available? I have been aggressively pursued for the other recall but unable to get any representative from a Ford dealership to return my calls when leaving messages for mobile repair. First was bob tomes Ford, mckinney, TX. I received flier that said they will do repairs at home or work. A scheduling rep finally got in touch with someone and they do not perform remote repairs!!! I'm attempting a third dealership today. Another message left, doubt I will get a call back.

11 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/25/2021

There has been no incident but I am unsatisfied with the amount of time the manufacturer is taking to remedy the situation. The recall is for a huge safety item and it means every time my family and I drive in my vehicle, we are unsafe. This does not meet the criteria for a road worthy vehicle until this is fixed. I called the Ford dealer for an update today and hope to have one soon.

12 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/25/2021

Recall warning issued over a year ago and zero remedy is available yet. My vehicle has <80,000mi and has a lot of life left. These recalls take way too long to fix.

Failure Date: 03/01/2021

14 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2019

Manufacturer recall 19s01, NHTSA recall 19v001. I have contacted bob tomes Ford multiple times (john grinn, mobile service) leaving messages and my phone number. No call back. Today a scheduling representative was able to speak to someone at this dealership and was told they do not offer mobile repairs. I have received multiple notices from this dealership advertising "repairs at your home or work"!! I can't even get a return phone call but receive multiple mail notifications, man showing up at my home multiple times, same man following me down my alley, and just this weekend, someone scanning my license and leaving a notice. If I can't schedule the repair, how am I supposed to get this problem resolved that is a possible danger to my life?!?! no one will return my calls!.

15 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2019

Takata recall issue. I received a notice of this recall in January 2019. I called my local dealer, mullinax Ford to have it resolved. They took my VIN, name and number and said they'd call me when the parts became available. I received another notice in April so again, I made the call to mullinax. They took down my information again and said they'd contact me. Here it is, June 10th 2019. I called them again and they said it will still be weeks possibly months before the parts come in. Unacceptable! I'm afraid to drive my car!.

20 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2018

Ford has sent three (3) recall notifications to me regarding the takata recall. After I received the second and subsequent third notice, I called a dealer to ask about bringing in the vehicle for the replacement/repair. I have been told both times that the manufacturer has not sent the replacements. The manufacturer keeps updating the system - the latest is October 31, 2018. Accidents are unavoidable sometimes, and if I had a passenger in my vehicle and the airbag exploded, the resulting disaster from the metal associated with these airbags would disfigure my passenger. Does such a tragedy need to take place before any consumer receives what is a public trust for our collective safety?.

21 Air Bag problem

24 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2018

"takata recall" "tired of waiting for replacement parts" car is unsafe . Car is still being used as having a hard time finding a rental vehicle close to my area for $30/day. I have been waiting for replacement parts for over a year? it is not safe to ride in the front passenger seat of vehicle. This is too long for them to expect people to go without a fix to this problem! there is a $30/day rental option, so far I have not found a rental place that will rent a car that cheap. Need to find a better way to handle this. As I am tired of having everyone ride in back seat of car.

25 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2018

Takata recall, letter received Feb 2018, Ford motor CO & local dealer say don"t know when parts are available to fix issue, Ford motor CO says in letter received may 2018 that Ford allowing $30 day for rental car, local dealer says don't have rental cars for $30 day, minimum is $38 day, that means about $240 per month that a lot of people don't have. Scared to drive the car because of injury that could be caused. Wanted to sell car as it was my moms who has passed away but nobody wants to buy it because of this recall - I don't blame them. So there it sits parked while I am paying for license plate and insurance. Read that it is safe if no one sits in front passenger seat - do I trust this? why does it take so long to get parts, when new cars are coming out and Ford has air bags in new cars. Where do they get air bag parts for the new cars being manufactured? guess just have to wait, for how long - nobody knows!.

26 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2018

Takata recall - still no parts no rental we were made aware of this issue in Feb 2018. The letter stated parts would be available in the 2 or 3 quarter. Ford also stated we could get a rental. So we reserved a rental. The day we were to get a rental the dealership called and stated none were available and they would call when one was available. That was in June 2018 and it is now November without a rental or parts to fix the recall. We cannot ride as a family in this car. No one can rider in the passenger seat.

27 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/31/2018

Takata recall - I received notification in January 2018 from my credit karma acct that my vehicle was a part of the takata recall. Upon research with NHTSA, I found that there was no remedy for the recall. A few months later I received a notice that Ford was offering to cover rental car expenses for those effected by the recall with no remedy. But when I called my local dealerships to ask for the rental, I was told that the rental company that Ford deals with, enterprise, was refusing to honor the offer. It is now November 2018, and no remedy has been established. My car is in group 5, of which only a very small percentage of effected vehicles have been fixed. It is also my understanding the remedy parts manufacturer is based in mexico. With the current state of affairs between potus and mexico, that means the exporting and distribution of goods will take longer. I find that the prudent thing for Ford to do is move manufacturing to the us. I understand this may be more expensive for Ford in the short term. But it would benefit them more in the long run by getting these parts made quicker and distributed quicker, rather than a class action law suit or individual law suits for those who have been inconvenienced or worse, hurt or died. I feel like it will be years before my car is fixed. At this time, I do not allow anyone to sit in my front passenger seat. I cant even use this vehicle as the family car as intended when we bought it. Im highly frustrated by the lack of progress. It is my hope that the nhsta can help facilitate progress by Ford & takata.

29 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2018

Takata recall. My airbag was recalled a year ago and still has not been replaced, even after I've made multiple phone calls to Ford. I'm very concerned about the unsafe airbag, especially since this car has been registered in very wet and humid parts of the country: north carolina, indiana and oregon. I'd like Ford to repair my car with a replacement airbag immediately or provide me with a non-affected Ford Edge to drive until mine is made safe.

30 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

Takata recall . . . Ford dealerships are refusing to give me (and other Ford owners affected by the airbag recall) a loaner car or rental car. I live in a state with high humidity, which means there's a higher failure rate. My wife could be number 19 in the death toll so far! in Ford's letter to me regarding this, they simply state "do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat". That is a horrible statement, which effectively means "sorry, 50% of your car is unusable until we find a solution a year from now"! all other companies affected by this recall are offering it's customers a safe vehicle to ride during the wait. Ford should as well! please attempt to push them to do so. Thank you.

Failure Date: 12/27/2017

Takata recall. I received this recall notice yesterday, I have spoken to my Ford dealership, and to Ford customer relationship and received the same response. That the parts are on back order till spring and they are sorry. I am being inconvenienced, I have a family, I can not go without putting someone in the passenger seat. I have no other way to transport my family, and Ford doesn't care about my family needs. If I am inconvenience by this Ford issue, then I want to be compensated.
