37 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2017

Tafata recall. We received the recall notice in March, 2017 and contacted a local Ford dealership to have the repair made. After the person looked up our vehicle in his computer, he replied that "it's only the passenger air bag that's affected, so don't worry, they only "go off" in hot and humid climates, and since pennsylvania isn't considered a hot and humid climate, it probably won't go off". He essentially refused this repair on our vehicle. And, now we receive notice that takata has filed for bankruptcy, so where does that leave us? I do want to note that we purchased the car in another state, but apparently that doesn't matter per the recall notice. It states to contact a local Ford or Lincoln dealership to request a free repair. I would like to know when this repair can be made and hopefully, before it kills or maims someone in the vehicle, or I do reserve the right to sue Ford, takata and the local Ford dealership for all they are worth.

42 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2017

Takata recall. I went to the nearest Ford dealer to see if they would fix my truck. They said that they did not have the parts to replace the air bags and that Ford would call me when they had the parts and that was back in April of 2017. I also received a card stating that they had file for chapter 11. I have done several calls to the Ford dealer in rsm to check if they have received the parts with no luck. Never received a call about the problem with the transition. On 2/28/18 I sent a letter explaining what had happen when I called Ford. As of today I have not received response to my letter. I did received another document stating that I should not have an passengers on the truck because it may cause serious injury. Ford has not even tried to contact us and let us know what they plan to do to solve this problem. So only one person can use the truck at this time. . My wife is the one that drives the truck to work since she works far and we can saves gas but I am afraid that she if she has an accident she could be seriously hurt. I have provided them with my wife phone and our home phone number so they can talk to her with any questions but no response from Ford. Thank you.

46 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2017

Ford mailed me "safety recall notice 17s01 / NHTSA recall 17v-024". As of Apr 15, 2018 I have not been notified by Ford that the recall service can be performed. On my own, working through the Ford parts website, I tried to order a replacement part. They had none for my vehicle. After 13 months (my opinion of reasonable time) of waiting; I'm wondering if the defective airbag system could be deactivated, giving the driver and a passenger the benefit of at least a seatbelt without the fear of shrapnel until the airbag function could be safely restored.
