general problems of the 2004 Ford Ranger - part 1

The contact owned 2004 Ford Ranger. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17v788000 (air bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted.

I dropped the vehicle off in April, bought it off facebook marketplace in March. Since then, I have dropped the vehicle off at big star Ford in pearland texas, and it has been there until today [xxx]. They finally called me to tell me they cannot get parts for this 2017, or the 2023 recall that must be performed, and that I was "free to come pick my vehicle up from them" it has been over six months with lack of communication, and me sacrificing time to complete in person visits, this is insane. I cannot believe they are still allowed to service vehicles information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

See attached document for complaint.

My husband was involved in a single-vehicle accident where he left the highway at around45 mph, went downhill for 50+ feet where he crashed into a concrete culvert, front impact. The airbags did not deploy. We bought the Ranger from friends, who believed that the takata recall was completed before we bought it. There have been no accidents since the recall. The truck remains at the service lot where it was towed. It appears to be a total loss.

The contact's daughter sustained inquires to her knee and received medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer.

The contact owned a 2004 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving at 10-15 mph and making a right turn, a vehicle from the opposite lane crashed into the driver's side of the vehicle and the vehicle rolled over about 10 ft in the air, rolled over in a ditch, and landed on its wheel. The air bags did not deploy. The emergency units were unable to assist the contact out of the vehicle as the roof had caved in and was resting on her head. The contact crawled out of the vehicle and was transported to the hospital. The contact sustained a concussion, severe pain on the neck between her shoulder blade which has limited her movements. Additionally, the contact sustained damaged nerves on the left hand and left leg, and chronic lower back pain. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot where it totaled. A police report was filed. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 21v081000 (air bags). The manufacturer also informed the contact that she did not receive a recall notification because recall notifications were not sent to each vehicle owner of the affected vehicles. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

After receiving several recall notices, we made an appointment to have the recall performed. The only appointment available was several months out. When the time came, we went to drop off the vehicle. The dealer, corwin Ford in reno nv didn't have the parts and hadn't even ordered them. Service writer michael mcnally said that they would order parts and we would need to bring vehicle back. We expressed displeasure that they hadn't notified us of a delay. We were told that they wouldn't do the recall and we would need to take it to another dealer. We notified the manufacturer, Ford, but received no response. We feel that this is a denial of the recall.

There has been a recall on these for several years, been to dealer on appointments at least 3 times. They will not do the repair, tell me it's backordered, no parts, they'll call me when it's there. . .

Ford recalled the air bags to get fixed on my truck. I took the truck in to a local Ford dealership, they supposedly fixed the recall. My son was involved in roll over crash and the air bags didn't deploy. I have a police report and photos to prove that. I also have the paperwork from the dealership showing the repair. My son sustained minor injuries. I am upset and I want answers. Ford should be held accountable, especially in a safety matter. This occurred in albuquerque, nm.

I am looking to see the repairs are completed. Lamoille valley Ford was to have completed replacement on 9/6/19.

Takata recall. Ford has sent me notices for years on this recall. I call every Ford dealership in town every time I get one, all claim they don't have parts, and can't get them, and will call me when they do. They never call. I called number provided on recall card, "agent" for Ford told me to call the local dealership. I explained I had just finished doing that again and got the same response as I always get and the agent just told me to call the local dealership. Ford seems to be trying to circumvent this recall.

Takata recall. I've not been able to get parts for months. I am driving an unsafe vehicle and my next step is to contact a class-action attorney.

I have received 2 notices in as many years and have called my local Ford dealership to set up appointment to replace my air bags. After multiple calls to the service department/ manager I haven't heard anything. I have also notified fmc and they gave me a case number and I have given that case number to the Ford dealership service department manager and it's been over a week and fmc assured me that all dealerships had been supplied with ample parts to remedy these issues. I am past mad. I am infuriated. Once this is issue is fixed I'll never own another Ford product.

Takata recall: problem with Ford dealership I received notice of the recall in January. I called the local dealer (purvis Ford) in February, again in March and again last week (June 4 ). I spoke with I believe the service manager the last two times. Both these times I recall leaving all pertinent information. This process is taking too long. I was told Ford has not sent the replacement devices. But I was also asked where I bought this vehicle. That should not matter. What responsibility do Ford and the dealer have to fix my vehicle quickly? I am afraid to drive it and will not have passengers. I believe Ford is being negligent in their efforts to protect me and my family.

Takata recall local Ford dealer (penske Ford, la mesa, CA) refused to order new air bags. Just said "call back in a few weeks" called Ford customer relationship center and they tried to call dealer but just got sent to dealer's voice mail.

I called joe cooper Ford in shawnee ok late January and they did not have any parts. I called joe cooper again about 6 different times time today and kept getting put on hold and no one ever picked up and the last time the parts guy that finally answered said he had a couple of parts left and then finally got placed on hold again, then the lady that was going to schedule the appt and took my infomation on the truck and then said they no longer have any parts for my recall and to call late in March to see if they have any in stock. Just worried that I am going to miss out on this recall if they keep running out of parts by the time I call them back to get this fixed.

Takata recall received notice in December 2017. Notice informs customers parts are available on 1-15-2018. I have been calling dealer(s) and Ford motor headquarters about lack of part issue - was told to keep calling back. Now, I am told from Ford of ocala I must drive an unsafe vehicle just for them to put me on the list for the part - not what the recall says. Recall notice states to call dealer and request a service date on or after 1-15-2018 for recall 17s42. I was told that recall is good only until 3-31-2018 and if not repaired by then, Ford will not repair. .

We have been told by Ford to not drive it but have no choice. Both of our vehicles have been recalled for the same reason. So what do we do now?.

Have called two Ford dealerships and they both say they do not even have parts to fix this and they are on back order for awhile. One even said they didnt know when they would be getting them! sure hope no accidents for this to get things moving on this. Nothing like getting the customer concerned with nothing they can do about it!!.

Is this a critical recall or just ho-hum? Ford said repair parts were available. My dealer can't get them because they don't know parts are not available. Ford is not talking to dealers about parts availability so my dealer can't explain why they don't have the parts. Should I be driving my truck or not?.

Went to jones west Ford in reno, nevada to have recall repair done. We were told by the service department that Ford motor company would not supply the parts to this area.
