2008 Ford Edge Air Bags

RECEIVED LETTER DATED MARCH 2 2017 REGARDING RECALL #17V024. CONTACTED LINKS FORD DEALER IN MINONG WISCONSIN TWICE SINCE THEN, ADVISED PARTS NOT AVAILABLE

SAFETY RECALL 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384. JULY 2016 LETTERS WERE SENT TO FORD EDGE OWNERS. THE LETTER STATES, "THE MOTOR COMPANY HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO THE MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXSISTS IN YOU VEHICLE, WITH THE VIN SHOWN ABOVE." I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DELEAR ON FEBRUARY 2, 2017 TO GET STATUS AS TO WHEN THIS PROBLE WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WERE STILL WAITING FOR FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO GIVE THEM THE OK TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS OF THAT TIME THEY HAD NOT HEARD FROM THEM. IT IS NOT APRIL 2017 AS MY VEHICLE STILL HAS AN ISSUE. I NEED HELP RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. AIRBAG UNDER RECALL AND FORD DEALERSHIP STILL UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO LACK OF AIRBAG REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM FORD IN JULY 2016 STATING "WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, FORD WILL SEND A LETTER TO INFORM YOU THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND TO...SCHEDULE A REPAIR." IT IS NOW NOV 2017 AND NO NOTIFICATION HAS EVER BEEN RECEIVED BACK FROM FORD. ACCORDING TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WEBSITE, A REPAIR REMEDY FOR OUR VIN IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE...MEANING WE ARE STILL "AT RISK" AND HAVE BEEN FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTIFICATION. HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED TO BE ACCEPTABLE????

RE: RECALL FROM JUNE 2016 (RECALL # 16S26). I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AS TO A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT IT WAS SIMPLY A "HEADS UP" INDICATING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS AND IT SAID I WOULD BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL WHEN A SOLUTION WAS AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND MY CAR HAS STILL NOT BEEN SERVICED FOR THIS RECALL DUE TO "NO REMEDY AVAILABLE" YET.

"TAKATA RECALL" - ON 09/27/2017 WE TOOK OUR 2008 FORD EDGE IN FOR THE AIRBAG REPAIR AT FAIRFIELD FORD & LINCOLN (CA) AND WERE TOLD THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIR. RECALL NOTICE 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2016 AND 15 MONTHS LATER THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR AN AIRBAG ISSUE. ACCORDING TO THE NOTICE OF BANKRUPTCY FROM TK HOLDINGS, WE SHOULD TAKE OUR CAR IN FOR REPAIRS, HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO DUE TO FORD'S LACK OF SUITABLE REPLACEMENT.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS SINCE THE AIRBAG RECALL AND NO DEALERSHIP HAS THE PARTS TO REPAIR IT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR AND WOULD LIKE IT REMEDIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR AND I THINK THAT'S JUST RIDICULOUS. I WOULD LIKE A RENTAL CAR OR FOR MY CAR TO BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT TO ME ON JULY 2016 BY THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THIS "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" STATES THAT MY INFLATOR IS LIKELY DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT HAS NOW BEEN WELL OVER 1YR AND FORD HAS STILL NOT CONTACTED ME AGAIN TO INITIATE REPAIR. MY LOCAL DEALER STATES THEY WILL SEND OUT NOTICE ONCE A "SOLUTION" IS FOUND. I AM UNCERTAIN WHAT SOLUTION IS NEEDED BESIDES A NEW INFLATOR. IT FEELS AS IF I AM DRIVING AROUND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE DUE TO INACTION.

THIS HAS BEEN ON THE RECALL PAGE SINCE 2016 AND WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE TO GET THIS FIXED. I AM AFRAID THAT IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WE WOULD BE HARMED BY THIS AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL.. MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS HALF WAY OUT MY INDICATOR ON MY DASHBOARD STAY ON CAUSE OF IT AND IT WAS SAID THAT IT CAN DEPLOY AT ANYTIME SO MY KIDS AND SOMETIMES FRIEND'S AND/OR HUSBAND HAVE TO RIDE IN THE BACK CAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID OF THE AIRBAG MIGHT DEPLOY. WE TRIED TO PUSH THE RUBBER SEAL BACK OVER IT BUT ITS NO USE.I INCLOSED SOME PICTURES OF THE TRUCK.CAN NOT SAY WHEN IT REALLY HAPPENED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS) FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER INFLATOR.

TAKATA RECALL - I JUST CHECKED THE STATUS ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE'S BEEN ANY NEW UPDATES AND THERE HASN'T. IT'S GOING ON A YEAR AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE IS WHAT I'M BEING TOLD WHEN I CALL FORD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! WE'RE TAKING ABOUT AN AIRBAG WHICH IS PRETTY [XXX] IMPORTANT TO HAVE. TO HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE SIT IN THE BACKSEAT IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE ESPECIALLY IF YOU NEED ALL THE AVAILABLE SEATING IN THE CAR FOR YOUR FAMILY. OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES HAVE BEEN FIXED MONTHS AGO WHY ARE FORD CUSTOMERS STILL WAITING ?!?!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON JULY 2016, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAG DEFECT. I DECIDED TO CALL ON TO GET AN UPDATE ON FEB 22,2017 TO MY DEALER GREENWAY FORD. THEY SAID THE PARTS ARE NOT IN YET. I TOLD MANAGER I WAS CONCERNED SINCE MY LINE OF WORK IS TO DRIVE CUSTOMERS IN MY CAR. I ASKED FOR RENTAL. HE SAID TO CALL FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I DID AND BEFORE I GOT A REPRESENTATIVE ON LINE , THE RECORDING PLAYED THAT NOT ONLY MAY DEATH AND INJURY RESULT FROM MALFUNCTION BUT OTHER PASSENGERS MAY GET INJURED AS WELL. WHEN I SPOKE TO SOMEONE ABOUT MY CONCERN ALL HE COULD DO IS CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T PROVIDE RENTAL CARS AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PART CAME IN. I WANT TO FILE COMPLAINT BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT AROUND FOR EVEN MYSELF AS DRIVER GET INJURED OR POSSIBLY DIE.

FORD EDGE RECALL ON AIRBAGS WAS FIRST ISSUE ON JUNE 1ST, 2016. IT IS NO FEBRUARY 2ND, 2017, WHICH IS 8 MONTHS LATER, AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION ON FIXING THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN MAILED TO US BY FORD. THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REMEDY THEIR DEFECT SO I'M PLACING A COMPLAINT FOR LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS BY FORD.

TAKATA RECALL CANNOT GET REPLACEMENT PARTS. VERY DANGEROUS.

GARY SMITH FORD, FT. WALTON BEACH, FL I GOT A RECALL ON MY FORD EDGE, TOOK MY CAR IN AND ASKED FOR AN APT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. STATED THEY COULD NOT MAKE AN APT. I RECEIVED A TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS NOTICES CLASS ACTION 17-11375 (BLS), THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN FIXED, WORRIED IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. I CALLED THEM 1-888-470-3583, ALSO 1-888-814-0714. THE AIR BAGS NEED TO BE FIXED BECAUSE OF RECALL, SO FAR NOT DONE. CAN'T FIND DOC FOR RECALL BUT I TOOK IT IN MONTHS AGO, NO CALL FROM THEM OR APT SET UP.
