Takata recall (16v-384). I received a letter one year ago (Jul 2016) regarding this recall. I am still operating this car on a daily basis. This model does not have an off switch for the passenger side front air bag so I cannot have a front passenger ride safely with me in this car as it stands now. Can you at least have a Ford mechanic install an off switch for this dangerous air bag at least until a total recall can be performed? if not, I expect this recall (16v-384) to be accomplished very soon because having to wait over a year would be extremely irresponsible on your part. Please get this done now. Thank you! my next step will be to write the potus!.
For at least two years now I been getting recall letters and no parts are available and if this is a recall for safety for my airbag and they have not been able to resolve the problem then they need to be held responsible for the issue. I had purchased this car new and was the only owner with low miles for years on the car. I also had a problem with the power steering box some switch that controlled the pump kept leaking and leaking and I replaced it at least once a year and it was a manufacturing part of Ford as I only serviced my car there.
