I received a notice from Ford in July of 2016 and have contacted a local garage to request with no action taken by Ford or the manufacturer of the airbag (takata corporation). I would like my vehicle passenger airbag inflator repaired in a timely manner to avoid injury or death to myself and vehicle occupants.

Takata recall--my dealer says the inflators are not available. . . . . It's been years!!! and I am till waiting. . . . . This is ridicules. The Ford dealer can't fix the problem with the part.

Takata recall. I received a letter in March 2017 telling me the passenger frontal airbag inflator needs to be replaced. I was instructed to wait for further word from Ford when I could have this done -- so far, after 10 months, I have still not heard anything.

"takata recall" I received a safety recall notice in may 2016 notifying me of the recall for the driver and passenger side air bag inflator. I made an appointment with mike patton Ford in lagrange GA. They replaced the driver side air bag inflator on 08/22/2016. They said the passenger side air bag inflator was not available and would let me know when it was. I have checked back several times, but it still was not in stock. Still waiting. The car has not been driven since as I don't want to possibly injure someone riding with me.

Takata inflators: I received a recall notice on the passenger airbag last July 2016 and has not been replaced. My wife will not ride in it because of this. She has recently recovered from 2 bouts of cancer and does not want to get injured or killed because of a defective airbag. When can I expect a replacement?.

Takata recall - over a year ago, in July 2016 I received a letter from Ford customer service that the passenger frontal airbag inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death. I never received a follow up letter, but recently got a notice on October 26, 2017 that tk holdings and company affiliates are filing chapter 11. I called the palm bay, florida Ford dealer, where I bought the car, inquiring as when the parts would be available. The service department did not know and said I had as much knowledge about the recall as they did. . Read more...

It has been one year since I received a notice from Ford for NHTSA recall 16v-384 that the passenger frontal airbag inflator was defective and could rupture if deployed. Yesterday I went to a local dealer for the fourth time and was informed that Ford still does not have replacement inflators. This is unacceptable. Please demand that they obtain replacement inflators.

Takata recall my car has been on recall for the passenger side air bag inflator since July 2016. It is now April 2017! is this ever going to get resolved. This is ridiculous! thanks.

Takata recall recall went out for takata passenger airbag inflator on June 1, 2016. I have since had the driver's side replaced but the passenger airbag has never been available. Ford has not had the passenger airbag replacement available since the recall. It is a danger to transport any passengers knowing that their airbag is recalled and can cause life-threatening injury. The passenger airbag is currently disabled.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the manufacturer took over a year to initially supply the dealer with the part to replace the driver's air bag inflator. The vehicle was later repaired and, months later, the contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer (lindsay Ford of wheaton, 11250 viers mill rd, wheaton, MD 20902, (888) 457-7005) did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Takata recall--driver side inflator was repaired July 2016. In June 2016 received additional recall for passenger airbag inflator. It has been more than a year since notification. My vehicle is in the priority due to age and I am zone 1. I contacted the dealer in October 2016 and was advised they expected parts in January 2017. As of this date I have heard nothing . We are at risk for liability if I carry a passenger. It is not unreasonable to expect resolution after waiting a year and having a priority vehicle.

2008 Ford Mustang. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair driver airbag inflator recall notice. Consumer has another vehicle correspondence in artemis.

Takata recall. I was notified by Ford around June of 2015 about the possibility of a defective airbag inflator on the driver's side. It is almost April 2016, and as of today, Ford has no idea when service parts will be made available for the repair. This car is driven every day and I am disappointed at the lack of speed that takata and Ford seem to be placing on this recall.

Driver airbag inflator replacement. I called Ford directly in August 2015 to find out when I could schedule my car for repair and was told in q3 of 2015 I would be notified. I have not received any notification. On December 22, 2015 I called Ford again for status and was told they had no time estimate on when the repair would be completed only that I would receive a first class letter. I asked if anyone at Ford could estimate the time of repair and was told no. I said that they must be receiving a steady stream of replacement parts and I considered this a dangerous even life threatening problem and was told no one could tell me when the repair would be completed.

Takata inflators for the past 12 months, neither Ford corporate hq or our local Ford dealer has agreed to replace the faulty takata airbag inflators. Both refuse to return phone calls, and after being forced to stay on hold for upwards of 30 minutes, refuse to put us on a list or provide any information, beginning in July 2015.

Nhtsa recall 15v-319 states that in certain vehicles, the front driver side air bag inflator housing may rupture and deploy abnormally in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver side frontal airbag. An inflator rupture could result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death. I contacted my local dealership from whom I purchased the car, tasca Ford on pontiac Ave in cranston, ri who told me they had no information on this recall and suggest I contact the manufacturer. I call Ford and was told they were aware of the problem and were working with their suppliers to obtain parts to remedy this unsafe situation, and they would notify me when they were ready to hopefully repair this defect. I feel unsafe now driving this vehicle, and fear for my own safety as well as any passengers in the vehicle. The company would not offer me nor pay for a rental car while they are searching for an answer. They didn't believe it was necessary. This is unacceptable.

Takata inflators. I received a notice in the summer of 2,015 from Ford motor company stating that they had found that my 2008 Mustang v6 premium convertible was found to have a defective drivers side air bag and that if it deployed, I could be seriously injured or killed and that it could deploy under certain circumstances even if the car were not involved in an accident. They said I would be notified to take my car to my local Ford dealer when a replacement was available. I have checked many times since with my local dealer (acton Ford, acton massachusetts) and have been told no replacements are available and they have no idea when any will be made available. I asked to have the air bag disabled and they told me that was not possible and I even offered to sign a release stating that I would not hold them or Ford motor company liable for any results if the car was in an accident with a non functioning drivers side air bag and they refused that as well. So I now have a car that could not be sold on a private sale and is about worthless as a trade in for a different automobile! I am do disgusted with the utter lack of any interest to rectify this potentially serious situation and I have been a very faithful customer of Ford products and this Ford dealer.

I have written to Ford four times asking for them to repair the takata inflator in our Mustang, beginning in early 2016. I have receive four form responses telling me that they understand that this issue "is important to you", that I can continue to drive the vehicle (they noticeably omitted the word 'safely') and that "the volume and scope of the industry-wide takata airbag inflator recalls have created unique replacement parts challenges". I get it, but it's been several years. I didn't buy an air bag inflator from takata, I bought a Mustang from Ford. Ford should be going to alternative providers for this part. They are, clearly, putting their interests and profits before the safety of my family. I'm not okay with this. In fact I'm outraged by it. I've heard enough from Ford's "customer service representatives". I'd like my car fixed so it is safe to drive. Period. Or, they can repay me my $35,000. I'll use it to purchase a vehicle that is safe to operate.
