Manufacturer recall number19s54 NHTSA recall number19v904 manufacturer recall number21s12 NHTSA recall number21v158 I've been waiting to complete the first recall for my car for over two years and during that time a second recall for the airbag has come out. I am afraid to drive my car and put others in danger and I'm afraid to sell my car because I could be knowingly putting other people at risk of injury or death and I can't do that knowingly.

I've been getting airbag warnings from Ford via mail for over a year. I made an appt at the Ford svc dept in carson city nv over a year ago. I've made follow up calls but they don't have the right part & cannot / will not repair my car. All I get is paper in the mail & promises.

I am having a really hard time getting this air bag replaced with a local dealership the only dealership in radius. Mtn view Lincoln Ford chattanooga, TN. This is the only vehicle I drive and I advised them I would need a loaner while this repair is being done. The first time I called with a cs representative on the phone they advised me they didn't have a part but could order it. I asked about a loaner the rep told me only the service manager can approve that and I was sent to his desk where I left a message. I didn't receive a call back. (there is a google review regarding my experience). After receiving yet another recall notice last week I dreadfully attempted to schedule an appointment to get this fixed. Which was today at 7:45, last week I expressed again the need for a loaner the guy who answered the phone advised me they had 40 loaners out but he can see what he can do. Today I arrived waited 20 mins and todd comes to my vehicle I advised them what I was there for and he stated there are no loaners but he will give me a call and update me. No one has called me.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer beach Ford 2717 virginia beach blvd, virginia beach, va 23452 (757) 486-2717 for a replacement appointment but when the contact got there they told her they did not have the part. The contact was then promised to have replacement part reserved for her but with no time table. The first time the manufacturer reserved a replacement part for the contact and sent her a confirmation email and the contact made the initial appointment with the dealer. The second time the manufacturer apologized repeatedly but offered no further help. The VIN tool showed the recall incomplete. Tf.

We are continually receiving letters about not having the recall taken care of. However, we have been told that there is no loaner available or are under a long list of other owners waiting, or the parts will take a few days. I tried calling the NHTSA hotline and both times the call was disconnected after pickup. This is all very frustrating and scary to have to drive a car with a potential fatal defect everyday and at long distances. There should be an alternative through rental car businesses or individual insurance to ensure the safety of the drivers.

Notified of airbag safety recall NHTSA 19v-001, safety recall notice 19s01 yet, I have attempted many times to make an appointment with planet Lincoln/planet Ford in humble and woodlands, TX. When they discover I need a loaner no appointment is ever made. They promise to call back when a loaner is available and never do. Ford and Lincoln send me notification regularly that this needs to me taken care of. I have related the same to them. I suppose they think they won't be held responsible if something happens to my airbags, but they will. I have names, dates, and conversations documented.
