My complaint is not due to a specific incident but that this recall is not being answered to in a timely manner. The Ford Motor Company has now had 5 months to come up with a solution for this recall why tens of thousands of drivers are being put at risk because of their complacency. Additionally, this vehicle provides income for my family as up to the point of the recall, we're using it through the rental service "Turo" which has now restricted our vehicle and will not allow it to be rented. This has caused additional undue financial hardship on our family as we had a projected income for the summer that was ruined due to Ford's lack of care for producing a repair for this recall in a timely manner.
I HAVE RECEIVED MANY NOTICES TO SCHEDULE A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS, HAVE TALKED TO ONE PERSON 5 MONTHS AGO AND TRIED CALLING THE NUMBER BUT NO ANSWER. THE PROBLEM IS WE HAVE NO FORD DEALERSHIP IN KETCHIKAN ALASKA AND NO FERRY SERVICE AT THE MOMENT. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GET MY VEHICLE ANYWHERE BUT NEED THIS TAKEN CARE OF, SI PLEASE RESPOND WITH SOME SUGGESTIONS. *TR
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY AIRBAG RECALL TAKEN CARE OF ON MY FORD EDGE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, POSSIBLY TWO. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD HAS ONLY IDENTIFIED ONE DEALERSHIP IN NORTHERN NEVADA AS AUTHORIZED TO DO THIS WORK. IT HAS CREATED VERY LONG WAIT TIMES AND IN THE MEANTIME, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS AT RISK. FORD SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ALL PERSONAL INJURIES UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED, ESPECIALLY IN SITUATIONS WHEN RECALL WORK IS BEING HINDERED BY FORD'S BUSINESS PRACTICES. I CONTINUE TO GET LETTERS FROM FORD TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THAT I NEED TO GET MY AIRBAG SERVICED, HOWEVER, I AM NOT ABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE OF THE UNACCEPTABLE BACKLOG DUE TO THE LIMITED NUMBER OF FORD DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO THIS WORK IN OUR REGION. I BELIEVE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL STARTED AROUND 2015 AND HERE WE ARE 5 YEARS LATER STILL STRUGGLING TO GET AIRBAGS REPLACED. I AM NEVER GOING TO BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN! OTHER MANUFACTURERS SEEM TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS IN A MUCH MORE EXPEDIENT MANNOR.
I HAVE HAD A RECALL LETTER SINCE DEC. 2017 AND CANNOT GET THE DEALER TO GET THE REPLACEMENT FOR MY TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS AND AS A DISABLED WIDOW OF A VET WHO DIED DO TO WAR, I AM WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING MY EDGE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?
