2009 Ford Edge Air Bags

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, another vehicle unexpectedly sped up coming from a parking lot and collided with the contact’s vehicle. The contact stated that due to the incident, the front and rear of the vehicle were damaged. The contact also stated that the air bag warning and the air bag did not deploy during the incident. No injuries were sustained, and no medical attention was provided. However, the contact stated that the next day, the contact suffered a severe headache, and the contact went to the emergency room for medical assistance. A Police report was filed. The vehicle was towed. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100.000. The VIN was not available.

Called dealer on 10-10-2022, 2:30pm to arrange repair and was told that the dealer would call me when parts were available. I have not been contacted by the dealer or any other party. If this is an urgent safety problem and my life may be at risk, shouldn’t this be a higher priority for the dealer and manufacturer; should I consider my potential loss of life or disability to be collateral damage? Urgent matters allowed to languish for a full year or more do not qualify as making a good faith effort to resolve a safety recall.

I see I have two recalls on my vehicle, one states "remedy not yet available" and was issued over a year ago. Manufacturer Recall 21S12, NHTSA Recall Number 21V1158. When is a remedy going to be available? I have been aggressively pursued for the other recall but unable to get any representative from a Ford dealership to return my calls when leaving messages for mobile repair. First was Bob Tomes Ford, McKinney, TX. I received flier that said they will do repairs at home or work. A scheduling rep finally got in touch with someone and they do not perform remote repairs!!! I'm attempting a third dealership today. Another message left, doubt I will get a call back.

Manufacturer Recall 19S01, NHTSA Recall 19V001. I have contacted Bob Tomes Ford multiple times (John Grinn, Mobile service) leaving messages and my phone number. No call back. Today a scheduling representative was able to speak to someone at this dealership and was told they do not offer mobile repairs. I have received multiple notices from this dealership advertising "repairs at your home or work"!! I can't even get a return phone call but receive multiple mail notifications, man showing up at my home multiple times, same man following me down my alley, and just this weekend, someone scanning my license and leaving a notice. If I can't schedule the repair, how am I supposed to get this problem resolved that is a possible danger to my life?!?! No one will return my calls!

Takata Recall. The contact owns a 2009 Ford Edge. The contact stated while the vehicle was being inspected, she was made aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Recall warning issued over a year ago and zero remedy is available yet. My vehicle has <80,000mi and has a lot of life left. These recalls take way too long to fix.

2009 FORD EDGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL DUE TO NOT HAVING THE NECESSARY PARTS.

There has been no incident but I am unsatisfied with the amount of time the manufacturer is taking to remedy the situation. The recall is for a huge safety item and it means every time my family and I drive in my vehicle, we are unsafe. This does not meet the criteria for a road worthy vehicle until this is fixed. I called the FORD dealer for an update today and hope to have one soon.

We took our Ford Edge to Bowditch Ford and supposedly had the air bag igniter fixed. I now see from this website that the part has not been made available and the airbag is not safe. When will I know if the part is available and why did Bowditch tell us they replaced it?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN JANUARY 2018 FROM MY CREDIT KARMA ACCT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS A PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. UPON RESEARCH WITH NHTSA, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. A FEW MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT FORD WAS OFFERING TO COVER RENTAL CAR EXPENSES FOR THOSE EFFECTED BY THE RECALL WITH NO REMEDY. BUT WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO ASK FOR THE RENTAL, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RENTAL COMPANY THAT FORD DEALS WITH, ENTERPRISE, WAS REFUSING TO HONOR THE OFFER. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 2018, AND NO REMEDY HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. MY CAR IS IN GROUP 5, OF WHICH ONLY A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF EFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE BEEN FIXED. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THE REMEDY PARTS MANUFACTURER IS BASED IN MEXICO. WITH THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS BETWEEN POTUS AND MEXICO, THAT MEANS THE EXPORTING AND DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS WILL TAKE LONGER. I FIND THAT THE PRUDENT THING FOR FORD TO DO IS MOVE MANUFACTURING TO THE US. I UNDERSTAND THIS MAY BE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR FORD IN THE SHORT TERM. BUT IT WOULD BENEFIT THEM MORE IN THE LONG RUN BY GETTING THESE PARTS MADE QUICKER AND DISTRIBUTED QUICKER, RATHER THAN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT OR INDIVIDUAL LAW SUITS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCED OR WORSE, HURT OR DIED. I FEEL LIKE IT WILL BE YEARS BEFORE MY CAR IS FIXED. AT THIS TIME, I DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I CANT EVEN USE THIS VEHICLE AS THE FAMILY CAR AS INTENDED WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. IM HIGHLY FRUSTRATED BY THE LACK OF PROGRESS. IT IS MY HOPE THAT THE NHSTA CAN HELP FACILITATE PROGRESS BY FORD & TAKATA.

TAKATA RECALL - STILL NO PARTS NO RENTAL WE WERE MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE IN FEB 2018. THE LETTER STATED PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE 2 OR 3 QUARTER. FORD ALSO STATED WE COULD GET A RENTAL. SO WE RESERVED A RENTAL.THE DAY WE WERE TO GET A RENTAL THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND STATED NONE WERE AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD CALL WHEN ONE WAS AVAILABLE. THAT WAS IN JUNE 2018 AND IT IS NOW NOVEMBER WITHOUT A RENTAL OR PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL. WE CANNOT RIDE AS A FAMILY IN THIS CAR. NO ONE CAN RIDER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

FORD HAS SENT THREE (3) RECALL NOTIFICATIONS TO ME REGARDING THE TAKATA RECALL. AFTER I RECEIVED THE SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT THIRD NOTICE, I CALLED A DEALER TO ASK ABOUT BRINGING IN THE VEHICLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT/REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BOTH TIMES THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT SENT THE REPLACEMENTS. THE MANUFACTURER KEEPS UPDATING THE SYSTEM - THE LATEST IS OCTOBER 31, 2018. ACCIDENTS ARE UNAVOIDABLE SOMETIMES, AND IF I HAD A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE AND THE AIRBAG EXPLODED, THE RESULTING DISASTER FROM THE METAL ASSOCIATED WITH THESE AIRBAGS WOULD DISFIGURE MY PASSENGER. DOES SUCH A TRAGEDY NEED TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE ANY CONSUMER RECEIVES WHAT IS A PUBLIC TRUST FOR OUR COLLECTIVE SAFETY?

TAKATA RECALL HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTICE TO TAKE VEHICLE INTO DEALER SHIP FOR REPAIRS.
