Takata inflators. I have been trying since last August to get the recall done on both my front airbags. First the dealer(charles gabus Ford in desmoines iowa)promised me a loaner car for the day my car would be in the shop,only to travel there 40 miles and then they say they had none available. Then I contacted Ford motor CO. Recall department just to try to get my name off of their recall mailing list due to the fact that they don't really take this recall seriously. After requesting to talk to a supervisor because I was getting nowhere with this woman ,she simply hung up on me.

The passenger side airbag deployed while I was driving the vehicle. The vehicle was not involved in an accident nor did it contact any object, vehicle or otherwise. I was simply driving the vehicle at the posted speed, under dry conditions, on a straight asphalt 2 lane public road when the passenger airbag deployed. I contacted my local Ford dealer and explained what happened. The Ford dealer instructed me to bring the vehicle to the dealer where they would service it by replacing the airbag and defective inflator, whereby the inflator is under a recall. After dropping off my vehicle I was contacted by the dealer to tell me Ford motor company would not repair or replace the airbag module; and it was my (the consumer) responsibility to replace the airbag module.

Takara inflators: my complaint is that I am having a difficult time getting my local Ford dealership to take care of the recall because I did not buy the car from them. I have been on a waiting list for over a year. I called again yesterday and had to put my name on the list again!

Takata recall - there has been a recall on the passenger frontal airbag inflator since June 1, 2016 and still no remedy available. We haven't been driving the vehicle very much since the passenger side is unsafe if we were to be involved in an accident.

Takata inflators. I have been waiting & waiting. Finally, I recieved a notice from Ford motor company that the repair is available & to contact the dealer for the repair. I did, however, the dealer politely informed me that they do not know why Ford would send out these notices when in fact, they still do not have the parts. Extremely frustrating for all parties involved. It has been over a year now & still unable to use the vehicle.

Takata recall - letter from Ford today (3/26/18) "please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for recall 16s26 to receive your free repair". I did. Service rep said they could not schedule me because the dealership has no idea when or how many of the replacement parts will be coming. Me : will I get another (3rd) letter telling me when the parts are available ? them : no, you'll just have to keep calling back. Me : aarrrgghhhhh. Also in the letter, "if you have difficulties getting your vehicle repaired promptly . . . Contact our Ford customer relationship center 1-866-436-7332. I did. When I asked why Ford dealerships don't know when or how many parts they are getting I was put OH hold. After 19 minutes on the phone I was told parts "should be available by fri. 4/9/18" and that it was up to me to keep calling to see when and if my dealership had the parts available. (1) in this day and age, is it too much to ask that the dealerships be responsible for notifying auto owners when the freaking parts are available so then they could call to schedule their repair ??? (2) letter states "if an inflator explodes sharp metal fragments could strike the passenger or other occupants causing serious injury or death. " doesn't this make the car unsafe to drive at all ? I've only owned it since July 2017 and because of this recall have driven it less than 500 miles yet my insurance payments of $50/month keep on a comin'. This recall process is (a) broken, and (b) frustrating since I really shouldn't be driving this car at all, yet Ford says don't worry, just don't allow anyone to sit in the passenger seat. You would think Ford would pay a little more attention to their dedicated Mustang owners . . . Wouldn't you ?? thanks for your time, doubt there's anything you can do about how they manager their recall. Let me reiterate - aaarrgghhh. :-(.

"takata recall" - received a recall notice in 2016 concerning defective inflators in air bags. Contacted local Ford dealer on numerous occasions (6+). Dealer will not return my calls. Was told today that repair parts are still not available. This is not an acceptable length of time to get a recall repaired. I would expect better service from Ford than I have received. Currently I own a 2005 Mustang with only 84,000 miles and I can not have a passenger in the front seat area. Unacceptable!!! it has been over 18 months. Again unacceptable!!.

Takata recall 17s01. Passenger front airbag inflator could rupture if this vehicle is involved in a crash. Waiting for months for a remedy. Dealer admitted, levittown Ford in NY, that only southern states are getting the parts for this repair as of now, and that I will be notified. Ford states that it is safe to drive yet there is contradictory and inconsistent statements and evidence that supports a danger to the front passenger side. If the parts are available in southern states, there is no evidence that supports that northern states are less at risk of injury from a rupturing defective airbag. I am furious that I cannot put a front passenger in the car, with good conscience, that there could be a serious injury caused by this defect. Please look into the misleading recall status, "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available. " catching Ford in a lie will not lead to a good outcome for them should my car not get fixed soon.

We have contacted multiple dealerships over the last two years and no one ever has the parts to correct the airbag inflator problem.

Takata recall. Ford sent a safety recall notice dated December 2017, in regards to a passenger side airbag inflator: 16s26. In this letter, Ford tells me there will be no parts available until at a minimum of spring 2018, and word for Ford: "warning: until remedy parts become available, do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat. The air bag could rupture during deployment in a crash and cause injuries or death. When the front row passenger seat is not occupied, the passenger air bag will not deploy, eliminating the risk. " Ford customer service has stated there are no loaners due to this. . Just that I cannot have any passengers in my car. I do not feel safe for myself and my family, and find it ridiculous my only option is to not have any passengers. Ford needs to legally provide a rental car as they feel they don't need to assist the customers they are putting in danger.

Takata inflators - how is is that according to the wall street journal 12/19/17 that Honda is going door to door to find people who haven't responded to them but Ford can't get the airbags for this model in stock? it's been 18 months.

The Ford representative stated that my recall was valid but Ford could not tell me when a replacement air bag inflator would be available. This response from Ford was outrageous since the takata air bag issue has been known for some years now and Ford has had more than enough time to find and procure replacements. Please contact Ford and demand they stop delaying progress on airbag replacements.

Takata recall: after multiple attempts to schedule an appointment for both driver and passenger airbag inflator recalls to be completed over the past 2 years - they still remain unfixed. The last attempt finally secured an appointment (Saturday, July 8, 2017 - 4:00 pm). Upon arrival, I was informed that I needed to leave the vehicle for 5-7 days as no parts were available. When I asked if they had a rental/loaner program as I cannot be without transportation for that long, I was informed that they only have 40 loaners and they were all out. Then I was informed that they do not have a rental program. When I explained that this is my only form of transportation and I have been trying to have this completed for almost 2 years, I was advised I could either leave the vehicle or contact another dealer. Even after I explained that I fear for both my family's he repeated himself stating I could contact another dealer and was sent away. As we all know, this recall has not only caused seriously injuried, it has taken lives. I am asking for nyour assistance in getting these recalls completed. I value both mine and my family's lives. After 2 years parts should be available. Below you will find the dealer information: citrus motors Ford and kia 1375 s. Wooddruff way ontario, CA 91761 (800) 447-8907 after careful research, I understand that takata has filed bankruptcy and the vehicle manufacturers are no longer using their products. I know that there are 4 other vendors with available parts and there are no shortage of parts. Maybe Ford should communicate with american Honda motor company and take a pagenfrom their book. I know many Honda owners who have had their recalls completed without hesitation and/or issues with the company. Koodos to Honda, wish that I and my family as 3 generations loyal Ford owners would receive the same service.

Nhtsa recall 16v384 was issued a year ago for the passenger air bag inflator on my car. I phoned the Ford dealer today 6/26/2017 and was told that parts are still not available for the repair.
