Reference NHTSA recall number 19v904 - this recall was issued in December 2019: "on your vehicle, a valve in the hydraulic control unit of the anti-lock braking system may be stuck open. . . . This may result in extended brake pedal travel required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The condition does not result in a loss of braking function and the vehicle can be brought to a controlled stop. . . Ford is working closely with its suppliers to produce parts for this repair. When parts become available, Ford will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts and labor). Parts are anticipated to be available late first quarter 2020. " at the time of this message it has been 16 months since this recall was issued and it is now quarter 2 of 2021 and parts to fix this problem are still not available. This is especially concerning, considering that another recall was issued last month, March 2021 (NHTSA recall number 21v158: the driver airbag inflator in your vehicle may explode in the event of a crash that causes deployment of the driver airbag. If an airbag inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants causing serious injury or death. ). The combination of these recalls is genuinely concerning and neither one is able to be remedied by Ford at this time. Given these life-threatening safety recalls, I do not feel safe driving the vehicle. But I can't in good faith sell or donate the vehicle under this condition as it would be egregious.

Takata recall. Vehicle stationary on January 18, 2019 the passenger air bag inflator was replaced under the 18s01 recall, Ford part number 8e5z 54044a74 ad. On September 10, 2019 brought car into local quirk Ford dealership for service because air bag cover was no longer was flush to the dashboard. Ford service said problem was due to "worn dashboard" and not covered under recall. See first attached picture. Called Ford customer service on sept 11, 2019 was told problem was not covered under any recalls or any warranties, case number cas-24226208-s8r0v4. My concern is that by having an open corner (see second attached picture) foreign objects could accidentally fall into this space without the drivers knowledge (ie. A penny, dime, etc) and if the air bag deployed a serious injury could occur. Specifically, foreign objects could become air borne when air bag deployed. A small piece of metal like a penny or dime could cause fatal damage to the passengers in the car if air bag deployed. Not sure if this should be covered under the original takata recall or if another recall should be issued. In any case I believe this is a serious safety issue which should be brought to your attention.

I took my 2007 Ford Fusion to the haldeman Ford dealership in allentown, PA in response to NHTSA recall 19v-001. When the recall repair was completed, I was told by the service manager (victort) that although a new air bag inflator was installed, the air bag still would not inflate because the warning light on the dashboard would not go out. I was told that as long as the warning light was on the air bag would not inflate. I was told I would need to spend over $1200 to repair a rod underneath the seat that controlled this function. Without the repair of this rod, the air bag would not inflate in an accident, leaving me without airbag protection. Since this repair was not included in the recall, the repair would only be completed if I paid them the over $1200 repair cost. I was charged $110 for the diagnostic they performed to confirm that this, in fact, was the problem. I was told there was nothing further could be done at the dealer- ship to resolve the fact that the airbag would not be made functional unless I paid them over $1200. I asked for a telephone number to report this to Ford. I called Ford only to be told that the haldeman dealership had the right to charge me $110 for the diagnostic since they need to definitely determine the cause of the activation of the warning light. I presume that since they charged me to do the diagnostic test they will stand behind the results of that diagnostic test. I was also told by the Ford representative that the problem that was causing the problem was not covered by the recall, so that if I wanted the air bag to inflate I would need to pay the $1200 repair fee. I told him the technicality of what the recall included wouldn't matter if someone were killed in an accident. He kept repeating the company line that the $1200 repair was a separate issue that was not included in the recall. He then hung up on me. Please help!.

Takata recall I received a notice of the takata recall (passenger frontal airbag inflator) in February 2018. It is almost December 2018. If this is such a safety issue, why is the recall status still listed "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available"?? when will a remedy be available??.

Specifically, I called my Ford dealer (wickstrom Ford (847) 381-8850) and understand that no replacement parts for the passenger side psan inflator is available to remedy the defect. I have decided to contact NHTSA because takata has filed bankruptcy and sends legal notices intended to limit my rights in the event of bodily harm, property damage, or economic harm and -- this past week -- Ford has sent me a legal notice in a class action intended to limit my rights in the event of economic harm. Nhtsa should take steps to prevent Ford and takata from taking away consumers' legal rights until they provide adequate replacement parts for every affected consumer (I. E. , no taking away rights unless consumers fail to take reasonable steps to avoid the harm by taking cars to dealers in a timely manner).

Takata inflators.

Takata inflators. This is not a complaint about a vehicle malfunction, it is about Ford's failure to address the recall issues. We have received two safety recall notices. 7/16--notification of airbag danger 12/17 notification that parts would be av ailable in spring of 2018 and warning not to allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat. We called the dealership in may and were told that the replacement parts would not be available in the foreseeable future, so we're stuck with a car that is basically a single person conveyance and consequently essentially unsalable and not repairable. My complaint is that Ford has issued a safety notice and apparently has no obligation to redress the safety issue.

Takata inflators received original recall may 2018-am still told parts not available. Almost a year - how can this be????.

As told to Ford motor company my dash is messed up from the airbag starting to deploy during the recall. They gave me a rental and I drove that but now that the inflator has been repaired they are refusing to fix my dash.

This is our complaint before the serious injury/death occurs. Our passenger airbag requires replacement but now our VIN has been dropped from your current listing. Ford release March 2017, �a ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death. � I can't drive our fine car on the freeway and risk my wife's life. The bag needs replacement now to forestall a future complaint of injury or death and resulting lawsuit!.

Takata recall: I just received notice that my Fusion is being recalled for passenger frontal airbag inflator replacement. According to the dealership, to Ford, and to the complaints posted here, the requisite replacement parts may take "forever" to become available. Meanwhile, we drive a car in which a minor accident could be fatal because of the inflator. Why are we not entitled to use a loaner car until parts are available? the cost of such a program could and should be passed on to takata. It is absurd to have millions of people driving around in these time bombs.

Takata inflators are not working. Last year I got into a front end collision at 25mph and air bags didnt deploy.
