"TAKATA RECALL" A RECALL LETTER FOR OUR VEHICLE WAS SENT IN JULY 2016 AND IT IS NOW JULY 2017 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE RECALL. THIS IS VERY UNACCEPTABLE. HOW CAN IT TAKE OVER A YEAR TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ESCALATED SO THESE VEHICLES CAN BE REPAIRED/FIXED BEFORE SOME ONE ELSE GETS KILLED FROM THE FAULTY PASSENGER AIR BAGS.

TAKATA RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT BY FORD IN JULY 2016. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES BUT DEALER SAYS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND ALSO CAN NOT SELL THE CAR WITH A KNOWN DEFECT. I SUSPECT FORD IS TRYING TO AVOID THERE RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THE CAR IS OLD.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS RECALL SINCE 2016. FORD HAS NOT REACHED OUT TO ME TO GET THIS RESOLVED AND NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS LIGHTING UP ON MY DASHBOARD.

TAKATA RECALL THE DASH WHERE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS, IS STARTING TO COME APART. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM FORD IN OVER A YEAR ABOUT THIS RECALL. I AM NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN OF SOMEONE PUSHED HARD IN THAT SPOT OF MY DASH. TO ME IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN FIXED. OR THEY SHOULD AT LEAST STAY IN CONTACT WITH PEOPLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH FORD ON THIS RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND TO WARN ABOUT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL AND TO AVOID HAVING PASSENGERS SIT IN THE CAR DUE TO DANGER OF INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO FLYING PARTS OF AIRBAG IN A COLLISION. FORD STILL HAS NOT REPLACED THE AIRBAG AND THE DEALER SAYS THAT FORD HAS NOT RELEASED ANY PARTS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. I BELIEVE IT WILL BE ONE YEAR IN JULY. CAN FORD BE FORCED TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS SOON? OR PROVIDE A BUY-BACK OPTION FOR THE CAR IN CASE THEY CANNOT REPAIR IT? ESPECIALLY AFTER 1 YEAR? THANK YOU!

I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAIN BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN OVER ONE YEAR AND NO PARTS ARE OR AT LEAST NO PARTS ARE SAID TO BE AVAILABLE...THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED . THE CAR IS PARKED BECAUSE OF THE RISK TO OUR DAUGHTER AND WHOMEVER ELSE WOULD BE WITH HER.....ONE YEAR
