MY RECALL NOTICES ARE BEING SENT TO AN ADDRESS THAT I HAVE NEVER LIVED AT AND FORD CAN NOT CORRECT THIS SITUATION. THEY HAVE NOTES ON THIS PROBLEM GOING BACK TO 2012 WHEN I MOVED FROM TARRANT COUNTY TO DALLAS COUNTY. THEY ARE SENDING MY RECALL NOTICES TO GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS. FORD HAS STATED VIA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR RECALL DEPARTMENT THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO AND THAT I NEED TO CONTACT THE DMV.

TAKATA RECALL - MY SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26 / NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 FOR 2 YEARS, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS INFLATOR RECALL RESOLVED WITH FORD. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A VERY LARGE RECALL, BUT 2 YEARS IS UNREASONABLE AND I NEED THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD MY MUSTANG TO THE FORD DEALER 2 TIMES NOW TO DEAL WITH THE AIR BAG RECALL. THEY DIDNT COMPLETE THE WORK. THEY ONLY DID 1/2 THE JOB AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE REST OF THE PARTS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. NOW I UNDERSTAND THERE IS NO REMEDY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 1 YEAR AND I NEED TO USE MY CAR. CANT SELL IT BECAUSE IT HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL. WHAT AM I TO DO? DRIVE A DANGEROUS CAR AND POSSIBLY HURT MY GRANDKIDS? I WANT A RESOLUTION, EITHER DISCONNECT THE AIR BAG OR REPLACE IT.

SINCE FEBRUARY 2017, I HAVE WRITTEN REGULARLY VIA EMAIL WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER OF PACIFICO FORD OF PHILADELPHIA PA ABOUT HAVING NHTSA RECALL 16V384 (PASSENGER AIRBAG) APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE, A 2007 MUSTANG SHELBY GT. OVER A PERIOD OF 17 MONTHS, I HAVE NOTICED RESPONSES THAT INDICATE THE DEALER IS EITHER OVERWHELMED WITH THESE INQUIRIES, IS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING PARTS TO SATISFY THE GOVERNMENT'S RECALL, OR IS OTHERWISE UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO PERFORM THEM. IT HAS BEEN 17 MONTHS SINCE I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT APPLYING THIS RECALL. IT HAS BEEN 25 MONTHS SINCE RECALL 16V384 WAS ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS SENT ME A LETTER INDICATING THAT I MUST AVOID PLACING PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I NEED NHTSA'S HELP.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT NOR DID IT CONTACT ANY OBJECT, VEHICLE OR OTHERWISE. I WAS SIMPLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE POSTED SPEED, UNDER DRY CONDITIONS, ON A STRAIGHT ASPHALT 2 LANE PUBLIC ROAD WHEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. THE FORD DEALER INSTRUCTED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WOULD SERVICE IT BY REPLACING THE AIRBAG AND DEFECTIVE INFLATOR, WHEREBY THE INFLATOR IS UNDER A RECALL. AFTER DROPPING OFF MY VEHICLE I WAS CONTACTED BY THE DEALER TO TELL ME FORD MOTOR COMPANY WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AIRBAG MODULE; AND IT WAS MY (THE CONSUMER) RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG MODULE.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICES IN 2015 AND 2016 ABOUT AIRBAG RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. IT IS MAY OF 2018 AND STILL CANNOT FIND A DEALERSHIP WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE THAT HAS PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. 3 YEARS WITH NO PARTS IS ABSURD. I HAVE CALLED 3 DEALERSHIPS EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR 3 YEARS TRYING TO GET THESE PARTS REPLACED WITH NO SUCCESS. WHAT MORE DO I NEED TO DO IN ORDER ACTUALLY HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED?

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN JULY 2016 OF THE RECALL OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY DELAYED.

FORD CONTINUES TO MAIL MY RECALL NOTICES TO AN ADDRESS THAT I HAVE NEVER LIVED AT. THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT TO YOU ABOUT THIS MATTER. FORD USES A 3RD PARTY TO OBTAIN THEIR MAILING INFORMATION AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY TO CHANGE MY ADDRESS. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY USE THE DMV REGISTRATION RECORDS BUT MY RENEWALS ARE MAILED TO ME AT MY CORRECT ADDRESS. YOU NEED TO INVESTIGATE HOW MANY FORD OWNERS ARE NOT GETTING NOTIFIED ABOUT THEIR RECALLS DUE TO FORD'S MISMANAGEMENT OF THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL-I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE EARLY DECEMBER 2017 FOR A FIX TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. NO RESOLUTION BY TAKATA TO DATE AND I WAS ADVISED NOT TO HAVE ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I NEED TO DRIVE COWORKERS AND FRIENDS/FAMILY FREQUENTLY AND THIS IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. I WAS WARNED IN THE LETTER FROM FORD THAT DEATH CAN RESULT IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED AT THE PASSENGER SEATING. PLEASE HELP EXPEDITE THIS RECALL IF POSSIBLE. THANK YOU!
