Did not sustain some sort of accident in order for me to notice thank god, I simply noticed thanks to multiple virtual methods which told me-considering how stupidly fast this car is and how important air bags are whe combined with that I thought id do this. Ford doesn't really care unless it can somehow bleed more money from something so. . . Kinda just letting y'all know. Not much else I can do. . Other than drive really carefully (5-speed and I suck with manual :().

Dealership refuses to do recall.

For nearly a year now I’ve been in touch with Ford and its dealerships to get this recall rectified to no avail. I spoke to corporate Ford customer care on 2/6/23 and was told that the vehicle in question with the recall will not be repaired due to its age! so I responded on a recorded line to make it clear Ford is refusing to repair the recall and is opening its self up for a major law suit. Mind you my teenage son is the primary operator of the vehicle and Ford simply doesn’t care. Please file a violation to the said recall on our behalf ty.

I have documented eight separate unsuccessful attempts to repair outstanding recalls on my vehicle due to Ford’s repeated refusal and continued failure to provide a loaner vehicle for the duration of the repair. Whether the required time is half-day or one week it makes no difference, I cannot run my business without a vehicle. Please advise how to proceed. Thanks.

Vehicle was involved in a very serious accident which caused injuries and well as scared me away from driving Fords…. Our young child was also in the car…. . It is so scary that the air bags did. It work on vehicle at all……. .

Daughter was driving north on wilma rudolph blvd at 45-50 mph in clarksville, tennessee and attempted to slow down when brakes did not apply. She attempted to go around the vehicle in front of her direction of travel and rear-ended the vehicle on the right front passenger quadrant. Upon rear-ending the vehicle, she hit her head on the steering wheel then a split second later as her head was returning to the upright position the airbag deployed. The air bag deployed "after" and "late". This airbag was part of a Ford recall and had been replaced at our local dealership. Additionally, the vehicle had the brake system serviced in December of 2018 and we had informed the dealership of brake system feeling "spongy". The dealership could not find any issues with the system.

We do not own this car. It was sold out-of-state 1. 5 years ago. Sorry, though Ford should know we do not have possession or know where car is.

On 07/19/2019, subject vehicle was in motion on clay street in thomas county, georgia when the driver crashed into a utility pole. Our client was a passenger in subject vehicle and sustained injuries from airbag deployment that resulted in loss of his eye after going to three separate hospitals.

Have attempted to get on the waiting list to have air bag modules replaced, have been told "we never know when we will be getting the needed parts, just keep calling us" this has been over a year now and no parts available.

Takata airbag recall. I don't own this vehicle anymore. Transferred title to my ex spouse in 7/18. Maryland mva confirms vehicle retitled. I keep getting notices for recall with my PA address on them and Ford won't change owner name or address. They actually send the recalls to me in another state that this vehicle has never been titled or registered in. I have tried and tried to get Ford to send the recall notices to my former spouse who has this vehicle. We are not able to communicate to each other due to "no contact" orders in place. I think my former spouse has a right to have the vehicle repaired but I can't or have anyone I know forward these notices to them and Ford just sits there and does nothing. I have even went to the point of having a letter sent to me by the maryland mva confirming that the vehicle was re titled and has a new owner and Ford still won't accept that, they insist their "third party" company gets the information from the registered vehicles in each state. The registration for this vehicle was cancelled in my name and the plates were returned to the maryland mva months ago. The latest recall notice came yesterday. Is it going to take an accident or possible death and lawsuit for Ford to comply and change the owner information? I don't know what to do to get this corrected. I keep getting the runaround and apparently it is very critical that it is addressed.

Takata recall it has taken a year for me to finally get my car into the dealership for this recall. My local dealership would transfer me to the recall department and then I would have to leave a message, they never called me back. When I am on break from school is the only time I can attempt to get the car in because they will not offer a loaner car. I call repeatedly the entire break 2-3 weeks and finally I had to reach out to the further dealership to finally get back to me. Again no loaner from them either. They offered a shuttle and spoke as if it is quick, I had to wait 80 minutes for a shuttle along with over 10 people who also needed a ride. They only had one shuttle to transport people home for everyone. I ended up paying for a taxi home due to meetings I had to get ready for and the taxi arrived before the shuttle after I waited 80 minutes.

Takata recall: I have Ford recall 16v-384 and this was corrected 12-6-2018. I also have Ford recall notice 15s21 and also 15v319. These last two recall number have not be completed and the Ford dealer who did the work on 16v384 says the other two (15s21 and 15v319) do not apply. Please help.

This vehicle does not belong to me. Please removed me from mailing list and call list.

2006 Ford Mustang. Consumer writes in regards to airbag recall.

Takata recall I received a notice 12/2017 that said do not let anyone sit in the passenger seat. I received a notice 3/2018 that a replacement airbag was available and I should contact my dealer. The dealer (rt 12 greene NY 13778) has said (3 different conversations where the story changed) they don't have any and are not allowed to order them. They told me if and when Ford decides they send a limited # to the dealership. I want to know how to get my airbag replaced if the dealer can not get them in. I also tried the NHTSA website and was told (lashawn) to go elsewhere for my complaint. Please help, I would like to drive without worry my passenger may be injured. I did not have this trouble when the drivers airbag was recalled/ replaced. Thank you, brenda williams.

Takata recall this recall is from 2016 and whenever I try and have ti fixed I am still to this day I am told that the "parts are not in and cannot be ordered yet" this is insane and these companies need to be held accountable for their mistakes and for using defective parts to cut corners at the detriment of the consumer.

I received a recall letter in the mail on 3/2018 however Ford in puyallup is not received any replacements as of today. I tried calling the number on the letter but it says invalid recall number (17s01) and I cannot reach a human. Is there something wrong with my car or not?.

Takata recall. I was notified by Ford that parts were available to correct this. Have been waiting almost 2 years. Called local dealer and they do not have parts. Contacted Ford and they were not able to help either. I want to make sure you know that Ford is not able to correct this in case they are reporting it as corrected. It's not for lack of trying by consumers to get it fixed.

Takata recall - just received a notice a few weeks ago but when I went to make an appointment at the dealer they had already run out of replacement parts. There was no scheduled date for additional replacement parts to arrive at the dealer.

Takata recall - 16v-384. On 4-16 I called the local Ford dealer (interstate Ford, colorado) and told them I wanted to get my recall performed on my vehicle. They told me the parts were not avail. Here in CO but only in the humid areas. I told them that I often travel to humid areas and that I would like the recall parts installed. They told me I would have to talk to Ford to get parts as they could not do anything. I called Ford customer relationship center and they, wendy (2188296), told me that they did not know when the parts would be available and that I would just have to wait. I told her what I told interstate Ford service dept. She told me it would be ok for me to travel with a passenger in the front seat, which is opposed to what Ford has stated. She then told me that I would have to call back to the dealer to be put on a wait list for the recall as they could do nothing and knew nothing about parts availability. I told her that I needed the parts now, as the dealer and her stated that some dealers do have the recall parts now (conflicting statements were made in the same conversation). I told her that I wanted Ford to get the parts sent to my local dealer to have this fixed. She told me she could not do that and did not know when the parts would be available. Wendy then said she would call the dealer to have me put on a waitlist. She called the dealer as I waited on the phone line. She got back on about 5 minutes later and told me that the dealership computers were down and I would have to call them in 2 hours, when the computers should be back up. I feel that I was getting the run around with the dealership and fmc. Each told me to talk to the other and neither was able to tell me when I would be able to get my recall performed. I have not been able to get the recall scheduled to date.
