Takata recall - received recall for passenger frontal airbag inflator recall in July 2016. (note: driver side has been repaired). Have called Ford for repair and as of today they still cannot give a date when repairs can be completed. I have no other choice but to minimize any driving on this unsafe vehicle. Yesterday, I received a legal notice from tk holdings inc. Concerning the airbag inflators informing me that takata corporation has filed for bankruptcy. It is obvious that takata has no plans to make repairs so I request that dot force automakers to standby their products and expedite the repairs or remunerate owners for the retail price of the vehicle. .

6 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

On July 2015, I received a recall notice from Ford for the "front driver side air bag inflator housing". It told me that Ford would send me a second notice when parts where available since this was supposedly a very wide spread problem. On June 2016, I receive this second notice stating that parts were ready and to "call my dealer without delay and request service". I did this immediately. I was told by parr Ford that they didn't know where I got the letter from but parts were not available and that they would order them and call me when they came in. It is now August 2016 and according to them, they don't have the parts that they said they were ordering back in June. If Ford was not going to provide their dealerships with the parts, then why would they have sent me a letter saying that parts were available. I believe this dealership is not willing to perform the recall notice and they are the only Ford dealership in a 50 mile radius. Either that or Ford motor company is sending out false information in their recall notices.

Takata recall-the Ford dealer says that they don't have the parts to repair the safety recall 15s21 as yet. The recall notice states that "an inflator rupture could result in metal fragments striking the driver or occupant resulting in serious injury or death". So, I have to just drive around with an airbag that could kill me or my occupant while Ford works on a replacement part? the letter is dated July 2015 and here it is December. Seems like something should be done to get them to speed it up a little.
