42 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2017

Takata airbags I received a letter today (12/22/2017) from Ford informing me to not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat. This is a 2 seat pickup truck which means I can not use this vehicle with anyone but myself. How am I supposed to use this to transport family members ? this recall was issued on June of 2016 which is 18 months ago. Why is Ford being allowed to put off fixing a safety defect for 18 months and is now telling owners they can't have anyone else in the vehicle but the driver. This is my second email regarding this recall the first was submitted in may of 2017, I heard nothing back from the ntsb regarding my first complaint. This latest update from Ford is an outrage which basically leaves me with a vehicle that I cannot use to transport family members. With no remedy from Ford see the �warning� section from the letter in the image attached.

55 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/24/2017

It has been approximately 14 months since I first received the recall notice regarding my 2011 Ford Ranger regarding the danger associated with the takata air bags. Since that time I have called spikes Ford on three separate occasions and Ford motor company on one occasion and have still not received any definite date for correcting the issue with the air bags on my vehicle. I am very concerned regarding my safety and it seems that Ford is not attempting to help in any manner. They consistently say that supplies are not available and that I must wait and check back. It would seem that after a year some effort would be made to help customers that have been loyal to the Ford company. I am very dissatisfied with the overall response to this issue plus the attitude of the administration with Ford company.
