My vehicle has a safety recall the dealership refuses to repair and the manufacturer has been no help.
Took my 2011 Ford Ranger to the local dealer for the mandatory airbag and knee plate replacement pick up the vehicle they gave me paperwork saying the parts have been replaced happened to be working under the dash yesterday and found that parts were not replaced bolts were missing whether or not they removed anything or not I would doubt it and highly doubt that the airbags were replaced being as the main structural replacement wasn't replaced as the repair order says it was obviously there's a fraud involved here because the dealers claiming they repair the car per a safety recall and didn't or did a half-ass job and replace some parts or not all I don't really know is I'm not taking apart the steering column to get to the airbags but I do know that the knee plate which was should have been replaced and the repair order says was was not which makes me believe nothing was replaced I had issues right from the get-go trying to get this repair done now to find out it was fraud so I am now driving a 2011 Ford Ranger that is most likely as dangerous as it was before the airbags were supposedly replaced this needs to be looked into but I will not go back to that dealer especially after what I found I have paper documentation claiming they did the work but didn't please advise and investigate.
The faulty airbag is unable to be replaced due to Ford not being able to get replacement parts. It puts me at risk every day that I drive it because if I got into an accident and the airbag deploys, it can project metal shards into my body which can be life threatening or even cause death.
Made several attempts with Ford dealership to remedy the recall without success.
I live in florida. It has been 15 months since Ford notified me that a second airbag needed replacing. I have not heard from them since then. This is not what I would consider a timely replacement. The truck is a 2011 and I'm 73 years old. I feel the Ford is trying to run out the clock on my repair.
Ford has failed to make a remedy available for a safety recall from 14 months ago.

I've contacted empire Ford of abingdon virginia twice by phone: once on August 27th and again on August 28th 2019, and went in person to the dealership on the 25th of September 2019 and physical handed them my vehicle registration to get this recall taken care of. As of yet, July 2020, I have had no help getting my recall fix, and yet, Ford continues to flood my mail box with �urgent recall� mail. Either this is not an urgent recall or Ford motor company does not care about my safety; or maybe the dealership in general does not care about my safety. Please advise, or at least get Ford motor company to stop the harassing recall mail. Thanks.
Takata recall: I have been trying to get my passenger airbag replaced since the recall came out in February and I have been blown off 3 times by the dealership. The first time I called I was told by a service dept. Rep that they had to order the parts in March and to call back in 5 weeks if they did not call me. At the beginning of may I called and I was told they had no record of me calling and talking to anyone at the dealership. They once again took my information and I talk with a marissa. Again I was asked to check back in a month if I was not contacted. Last week I contacted the dealership again and once again I was told that nobody had ordered the parts. This time someone named carla took my information and set up an appointment to come into surprise Ford dealership at 7am to get my truck fixed only to find out from them that I was not in the system and no parts were ordered. They told me that they have a service center in florida answer the phones when they are busy and they never set up anything. Now almost 6 months after the recall I have yet to get any action done on my truck not from my part. This is really a messed up system and a waste of my time for nothing. Something should be brought and done to this dealership and others if they operate this way. It comes across as though they don't care about the recall until it is too late.

When scheduling a recall for the airbag I was told my local dealer would not have the part for 3 to 4 weeks and was told to try another dealer 15 miles away. Ford put me on a list at the local dealer. The recall(19s01 /NHTSA recall 19v-001) that I received states both the driver and passenger will be replaced, they are only replacing the passenger airbag and that a loaner vehicle can be provided for free. The recall also states do not drive your vehicle until the recall repair has been completed. Ford was not willing to issue a loaner vehicle until my local dealer was able to obtain the required parts and wanted me to schedule at a dealer 15 miles away.

Takata recall. After receiving a recall notice I promptly went to my local Ford dealer (andy shaw Ford in sylva, nc) in February 2019. After more than a month they told me to come in and they would take care of it. I continue to receive recall notices, almost three months after they said it was repaired (3/28/19). How do I go about determining whether the airbag was actually replaced or not?.
Ford has told me that I can only get the recall work performed at a Ford dealer. I live in juneau, alaska. We have no Ford dealer and there are no roads to juneau. Affordable auto repair in juneau (907-790-9332 rusty, srvc mgr) has already done some of the airbag recall work (notice #19s01), but Ford has now put a halt to this work by affordable auto repair and will not provide dealer support to order the parts and reimburse affordable auto for the work. There are many Ford owners in juneau and we are being put in danger, because Ford will not allow this recall work to be performed at anywhere other than a Ford dealer, even thought we have no Ford dealer in juneau and no roads to drive hundreds of miles and days away to the "closest" Ford dealer. Ford's solution in unrealistic and unfair for alaska Ford owners. Ford is putting alaska residents in danger. We need immediate resolution to this issue. The Ford helpline and online chat has not been helpful in bringing this to a resolution. .
Called dealer (sunshine Ford-newburg,NY) and got an appointment for 3/19/2019, but they cancelled because the bag didn't arrive. I was told I would be notified when they received one. I got a second notice in April and called sunshine back. They again said they would call when the bag arrived. I got a postcard from Ford, so I called and explained my situation. I was put on hold while they tried to call the dealer. They tried two times when I was holding but no one answered. I was told they would call me when they spoke with sunshine, that was 5/21, I still haven't heard. Now I received a notice from NY state dept. Of motor vehicles telling me it is urgent. What more can I do?.

Took to Ford dealer and costed 100. 00 to check light, they said was restraint control module, it affected brakes, advanced trac, air bags and anti-tip over device. The vehicle only had 3500 miles on it. The part is rediculously priced!! 650. 00 is outrageous!!!.

Ford sent a letter (April 2018 - just over a week ago) indicating the airbag issue: NHTSA 16v-384 could now be repaired by their dealership (kings colonial Ford - brunswick, GA). When I called to make an appointment, the service department indicated that they do not have the parts to do the repairs and they have no idea when they will have the parts. It is now 2 years down the road since the air bag issue surfaced and there is still no hope of repair. Folks: this is bordering on absurdity !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Airbag recall - notice 16s26 recall 16v-384 received notice about recall dated April 2018. Called local Ford company - crossroads in kernersville, nc and was told they did not have the part. . . They suggested that I go to another dealership. I then called Ford company who contacted this dealership and was connected back to the manager (bill) who told me that the part would be ordered and he would contact me once it was in. This was on 4/16/2018. . . . Today it has been a month and I have not heard anything from anyone about this. The letter indicated that the parts were available and this recall would be replaced free of charge (parts and labor). . . . There seems to be some sort of delay. So I am now reporting this *issue* to you. . . . I would indeed appreciate a prompt response and would like this done before something happens.
