Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator Problems of Ford Edge - part 2

Takata recall***" received notice in July 2016 that my vehicle has been identified in the takata recall, for a defective front passenger air bag inflator. At first the notice, and then several subsequent calls to Ford motor company headquarters, all stated it was safe to carry a front pasdenger. As others months and months passed without any notice. I made several calls to my local Ford dealer over the 18 month period, requesting an appointment for replacement. They actually treated me as if I was stupid for calling without having an official notice to replace the part. Finally I received another notice saying parts will be available in the spring, but also staying "do not drive with a passenger in the front seat. " fortunately and unfortunately, we have not used the vehicle with a front passenger. So, for the past 21 months I have had only a 1 passenger vehicle, which us in excellent condition and has only 88,000 miles on it. This has been an unbelievable, ridiculous situation for all.

In December 2017 I received another letter stating that parts were still not available and would not be available until at soonest the spring of 2018. Ford recommended not letting anyone sit in the front passenger seat until repairs were made. Are they @#$%& kidding? this is an entirely unacceptable response and a ridiculous suggestion. A response timeline of two years for a potentially deadly situation and a suggestion that makes the car almost unusable is not acceptable. I wish to file the most strenuous complaint possible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Takata inflators ** - 2 years and no replacement air bags for my vehicle. It has been recommended to not have anyone sit in the passenger seat. This now makes my vehicle a 4 passenger car (if you swish 3 people in the back seat). New airbags were to be available in spring 2018. Now I receive another notice that the air bag replacement will probably be another 3 to 6 months. I am extremely upset with how this situation has been handled and looks like it is now time to get legal assistance. I have been more than patient.

Takata inflators: my complaint is with your agency as much as Ford. Two years ago I learned of the inflator recall. I finally got written notification from Ford July 2016. After no further contact I called them with nothing further they could add. Called back July 2017 and was told no parts were being made, just don't use 1/4 the vehicle seating for safety. (not an option. ) follow up October 2017, working with a new vendor. . . Parts soon but no date. Got December 2017 letter parts delayed until early 2018. Its March. Called today, more bs. No parts made. Maybe 1st or 2nd quarter. Lady made a u-turn out of a parking lot a couple weeks ago and I missed her by inches. Worry every time we drive it often with grandkids in car. Nhtsa has done nothing we have observed to fine or otherwise hold Ford accountable/motivate them. I suspect they pay lobbyist to pressure your agency to ignore this problem. They had no problem getting their new cars out these last two model years. Tired of my families lives being at risk daily, but can not get out from under this car at this time and who would want to buy it. What happened to the ralph nader days when companies were fined into motivation to do the right thing instead of worrying about their profits. I'm tired of worrying about this proven deadly fault. Ford has verified we are part of the high risk group because of humidity. Get off your buts and get us some help please!.

Takata inflators. Why does this problem continue to exist? Ford has went so far as to tell my family not to ride in the front seat of this car. This problem has went on for over two years and I must use this car for our family car. We travel extensively and need to use this car. I have a 2005 Dodge pick-up that had the same problem and the problem was corrected in a timely fascion. I find it hard to believe the nhsta would allow Ford to get away with this problem for so long seeing as to the seriousness of this problem. Please reassure me and my family that we will be safe in this car while waiting for repairs. Latest recall notice I received from Ford stated the air bags may be here by the second or third quarted of this year, however this is not the firest time we have been told they were coming. I feel Ford is stalling all the owners of their product. Would u please research this situation and advise us.
