48 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/16/2017

Takata recall I am complaining today about sarasota Ford. My car windshield wipers would not work and it had something to do with electrical. I had my friend take my car there because I had to return back to the midwest. I did not want to drive 19 hours without wipers. I figured since it was there I would call and have them take care of this airbag recall. I was told everything was taken care of and I paid them over the phone and was going to fly and pick it up that week. Hurricane irma made that impossible by the time I did pick up my car I never spoke to any of the service department. I wanted to make sure everything was safe to drive 19 hours home. I had to even walk in the back parking lot because the secretary who did help get my keys couldn't drive a stick. There was a bag of food left in my backseat and maggots was in my backseat . I knew they were swamped so I didn't even complain. I was on my way back to kc and my car won't start when I was in the middle of nowhere. I immediately call sarasota Ford and they put me on hold for a long time. I finally hung up and some locals helped me pop start my clutch. I drove two more hours and my car started overheating. I pull over and its steaming. I had to get a hotel room in alabama somewhere and a tow truck. It ended up being the thermostat housing. I thought that sarasota would of gave my car a full diagnostic to figure out what was the problem. I just went to the airbagrecall. Com because I got another reminder to fix recall this week and it my still has a airbag recall. I am just lucky my car only broke down after getting fixed at sarasota Ford. I could of wrecked and the airbag would of been faulty.
