Takata recall: I think I've been waiting for well over a year for the fix to this recall. I don't feel safe knowing the airbags could harm or kill me and a passenger. I would feel safer if they would deactivate the driver side airbag until the remedy is available.

Recall on passenger side airbag ,Ford dealer has failed to get the part needed to fix the problem. Although they did fix the airbag on the drivers side. It's been months since I got the recall notice ,and I still haven't heard from the Ford dealer in corbin ky. People are being killed because of faulty airbags,how much longer do I have to wait for Ford to fix this ?.

Takata recall : Ford motor CO. Sent recall notice Feb. 2016, went to dealer stated no parts available, I would be notified when available. 11 months driveing without proper driver side airbag. Why,? I feel this is not a good standard and very unhappy with response.

Takata recall. We have been waiting over three months for replacement of the driver side airbag. We have our children that drive this vehicle and putting them in danger. We want this fixed ASAP or a new Ford Ranger, without any issues, leased to us with Ford covering the cost until our vehicle is safe with new airbag replaced.

Takata recall: notified of recall for passenger side airbags in July 2015, and immediately turned off air bags for passenger side. Notified of driver side airbag recall in January 2016. There is no way to turn off the driver side airbags by owner. I contacted my dealer today to request that my airbags be disconnected until parts are available, and was told that they were instructed not to take any action until the repair parts are available. I don't believe owners should be forced to continue driving unsafe vehicles. Manufacturer should be required to disconnect the air bags on all recalled vehicles or provide loaner vehicles to ensure the safety of owners until parts are available to make repairs.

Takata recall. Have notified Ford by letter twice about driver side air bag in 9/20/16 and 9/13/2017, no action. Unsafe to drive? vehicle in like new condition, 85000 miles. When can I expect repair as Ford motor continues to build new trucks and cant repair sold vehicles, lousy.

Takata recall. I am still waiting on Ford to fix the driver's side airbag. I need to be able to sell this vehicle and can not without the air bag being fixed. You can't see a car that you're told to not drive because it could kill you. At this point I believe Ford should purchase the vehicle as if I was selling to a private party, not a dealer as that is the only way I can get any money for the vehicle. It's in great shape but un-sellable specifically because Ford hasn't replaced the airbag. I believe we've been waiting a year?.

I received a recall notice for the passenger side airbag. There has been a partial recall for drivers' side airbags covering southern states only. As both passenger side and driver's side airbags are made by the same manufacturer, with similar or identical ignitors, why has the partial recall for driver's side airbags not been extended to all states, as for the passenger side airbags? is there a recall in the works for the driver's side airbags? thanks,.

In June of 2006 I was in an auto accident that totaled my 2004 Ford Ranger. During the course of the accident the drivers side airbag deployed with a great force that it messed up my neck with two discs and my left arm at the elbow which left a scar and I have difficulty using the said left arm, it's almost like a non existence limb as well as my lower back (I'm only 5 foot 2 inches) it messed up four disc pinching off nerves leaving my left leg froze up and I have to use a cane to be able to walk. I can not have surgery to fix the problems.
