COME ON FORD FIX THIS OLD SITUATION. LOCAL DEALER HERE IS LANGDALE FORD, VALDOSTA GA.

TAKATA RECALL: IT HAS BEEN (2) YEARS SINCE I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED ABOUT THE NEED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG(S) REPLACED. I AM AWARE THAT MILLIONS OF VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. BUT AFTER TWO YEARS, MILLION OF NEW VEHICLES WITH AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED. YET AN AIRBAG FOR THIS RECALL IS YET PRODUCED? NHTSA, PLEASE DO YOUR JOB AND GET IT DONE!! RESPECTFULLY, (XXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

"TAKATA RECALL". IN JUNE OF 2012 I PURCHASED A 2011 FORD FUSION. APPROXIMATELY JULY OF 2013 I WAS NOTIFIED BY FORD THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. MY VEHICLE WAS TO BE FIX WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER I CALLED FORD TO FIND OUT WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT FIXED. I WAS TOLD BECAUSE I LIVED IN A COLD CLIENT (MASSACHUSETTS) THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD BE ONE OF THE LAST VEHICLE TO BE FIXED WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME NO ONE WAS TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE THEY COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. MY WIFE WHO IS 75 YEARS OLD A CANCER SURVIVOR HAS SAT IN THE BACK SEAT SINCE 2013. BECAUSE OF HER AGE AND HEALTH PROBLEMS SHE CAN NO LONGER SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAVE CONTACT FORD SEVERAL TIME TO TELL THEM OF THIS PROBLEM. FOR RELIEF IN 2018 THEY ALLOWED ME A RENTAL CAR. APPROXIMATELY, 2 MONTHS LATER I WAS CONTACTED BY THE RENTAL AGENCY AND INFORMED ME THAT FORD WOULD NO LONGER PAY FOR THE RENTAL VEHICLE BECAUSE I SIGNED THEIR FORM AND ADDED (I DIDN'T GIVE UP MY RIGHT TO LEGAL ACTIONS BY SIGNING THIS FORM). BECAUSE I REFUSED TO GIVE UP MY LEGAL RIGHT THEY STOPPED THE RENTAL VEHICLE. FORD CASE NUMBER CAS-15314662 WAS ASSIGNED TO MY CASE AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE. MY WIFE AND MYSELF WHO ARE ELDER BOTH FEEL THIS TIMEFRAME IS RIDICULOUSLY LONG AND HAS CAUSES US MUCH DISCOMFORT, ANXIETY AND OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES WHEN WE WANT TO TRAVEL TOGETHER WE HAD TO TAKE SEPARATE VEHICLE OR BORROWED ONE OF OUR CHILDREN VEHICLE IN ORDER TO SIT COMFORTABLE AND BESIDE EACH OTHER.

TAKATA AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE FIRST RECALL JULY 2016 FOR THEM TO FIX AIRBAGS NOT ABLE TO LET ANYONE SIT IN FRONT SEAT, HAVE CALLED FORD DEALERS SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN WE HAVE NO REPLACEMENTS, ITS BEEN TWO YEARS AND NOTHING

TAKATA RECALL. THE ORIGINAL RECALL IS ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. I FEEL LIKE IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WAITING ALMOST 2 YEARS TO FIND A REMEDY IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL AT LEAST TWO YEARS AGO, I WAS NOTIFIED (VIA MAIL) OF THE TAKATA RECALL. I'VE CALLED AROUND TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS SEVERAL TIMES BUT WAS TOLD BY EACH THAT PARTS FOR THAT RECALL WASN'T AVAILABLE AND THEY WASN'T SURE WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THEM IN. ALSO, I'VE HAD THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR 3 WEEKS PRIOR OF GETTING THE ONE I CURRENTLY HAVE DUE TO AN ACCIDENT WHERE NEITHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THOUGH NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN MY CURRENT VEHICLE, I FEAR THAT IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN, I CAN'T RELY ON THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS TO PROTECT MY OCCUPANTS. I'VE TAKEN THE NECESSARY STEPS TO TRY AND HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AS SOON AS I CAN BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE IF THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE AIRBAG IS A VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT ON THE CAR AND KNOWING THAT IT DOESN'T WORK SUFFICIENTLY, TERRIFIES ME EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN MORE THAN TWO YEARS. LOCAL DEALER KEEPS SAYING HE'S WAITING FOR PARTS.UNABLE TO HAVE PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT.

TATAKA RECALL. ME AND MY WIFE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO FUTURE FORD OF ROSEVILLE IN REGARDS TO THE TATAKA RECALL. THIS WAS ON AUGUST 6 2018. WE HAVE HAD A RENTAL EVER SINCE AND HAS BECOME QUITE FRUSTRATING. I AM ACTIVE MILITARY AND GETTING READY TO MOVE BASES BUT IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT NOW BECAUSE I'M NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR IN QUESTION. THIS IS REDICULOUS. IF MY CAR IS THAT HARD TO FIX AND THAT UNSAFE TO DRIVE I FEEL THAT FORD NEEDS TO EITHER BUY OUR CAR BACK OR GET IT FIXED ASAP. IT'S CAUSED A HEADACHE FOR MY FAMILY AND BECOME ANOTHER ADDED STRESSOR.

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY CAR FROM JUNE, I HAVE CALLED DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, NOBODY CALLS ME AND GIVES ME AN ANSWER
