Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2009 Ford Ranger

Ford dealerships are unable to get parts needed to fix the open recall for the drivers side airbags.

I received a passenger side air bag recall from Ford several months ago. Ford stated they would contact me when the repair parts became available. They never did. Recently I received a letter from tk holdings inc. , (representing takata corporation) that they have filed for chapter 11 and that I should contact my dealer to get the repair done. I made an appointment with galpin Ford on 11/28/1017 to get the necessary repair. They called me back and stated that no parts were available to fix the issue. So. I am knowingly driving around with a dangerous potentially lethal issue with no recourse. I feel that if Ford cannot fix my truck (bought new from Ford) that they should buy the car back from me or replace the truck as if a lemon law applied. The value of this truck has been substantially lowered by Ford's negligence.

Takata recall. I contacted multiple Ford dealers and they will not provide a fix for the passenger side air bag recall. It has been a long time and there is no help available for this problem.

2009 Ford Ranger. Consumer writes in regards to passenger side airbag recall. The consumer the recall repair has exceeded a reasonable amount of time.

"takata recall' ever since I received a recall notice on 07/23/2016 for a passenger side air bag on my 2009 Ford Ranger. Recall notice (16s26/NHTSA 16v-384, I have went to my Ford dealer, leif johnson Ford many many times here in austin,TX to find out when I can get it fixed. All I get is excuses. The last time I inquired I was told that they are just a dealer, and that it was Fords problem! it has been over 15 months sinse I received the recall , and it appears they do not care if someone gets hurt! is there something that could be done to get them to move and fix the problem.

My vehicle is part of the air bag recall takata manufactured air bags. I have not received notification from Ford that a replacement part is available. It has been nearly 18 months since this recall. Where is my replacement passenger side air bag?!.
