2006 Ford Ranger Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL- FORD REPEATEDLY SENDS NOTICE OF RECALL AND STATES PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND TO CONTACT A DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER STATES THERE ARE NO PARTS AND WILL CONTACT ME WHEN AVAILABLE. I AM NEVER CONTACTED. THE LAST FORD RECALL LETTER STATES IN RED LETTERS "DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE" UNTIL THE AIRBAG REPAIR IS COMPLETED, BUT IT NEVER GETS REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY CLAIM PARTS HAVE TO BE ORDERED. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE AND THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. NO ASSISTANCE IS GIVEN BY FORD OR IT'S DEALERSHIPS.

"TAKATA RECALL" 'YOUR DEALER IS AUTRHORIZED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL VEHICLE FOR YOUR PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION . . .' MY PROBLEM IS THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE A BACK LOG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. MY VEHICLE IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE MISSED 2 DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS THAT REQUIRES ME A ONE AND ONE HALF HOUR TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM IS THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT FORD WILL ONLY PAY FOR 2 DAYS RENTAL. I ALSO LIVE IN A RURAL AREA OF NORTH ARKANSAS. AT THIS DATE, THE DEALER IS STILL WAITING FOR THE BACK ORDER, HAS NO CARS TO RENT, AND BEING IN A RURAL AREA THERE ARE NO CAR RENTAL AGENCIES WITH IN A SHORT DISTANCE.

TAKATA RECALL - I'M FILING A COMPLAINT WITH HOW DISORGANIZED THE TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN. FORD NOTIFIED ME IN DECEMBER 2017 THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED. A FEW WEEKS LETTER THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS ON A DO NOT DRIVE LIST. THEY TOWED IT AND PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL. THEY TOLD ME PARTS WERE AVAILABLE BUT MY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING ON PARTS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY, IT'S NOW MARCH. I'M TIRED OF SEEING NOTICES THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY TO HAVE MY DEALER TELL ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALLMESSAGE: I DRIVE A 2006 FORD RANGER. I WOULD GUESS YOU KNOW ABOUT THE AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL AND THE DEATHS INVOLVED WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WELL, I HAD BOTH THE INFLATORS REPLACED IN 2016. SO NOW I GOT ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE THAT I HAVE TO HAVE BOTH THOSE INFLATORS REPLACED AGAIN. SO EVEN AFTER I HAD THOSE INFLATORS REPLACED TWO YEARS AGO, I NEED TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AGAIN. DID THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE INFLATORS WITH TWO MORE DEFECTIVE INFLATORS? HAVE I BEEN DRIVING AROUND, STILL, WITH INFLATORS THAT COULD KILL ME? NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER. ALSO, WHY WAS THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY ALLOWED TO REPLACE BAD INFLATORS WITH BAD INFLATORS? THE NEW RECALL FROM FORD TELLS ME THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, YET, THEY HAVE NO PARTS.(I SAW MY DEALER YESTERDAY) SO NOW I AM STILL DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD POSSIBLY KILL ME WITH A DEVICE THAT WAS MEANT TO SAVE ME. I DON'T HAVE THE CHOICE OF JUST PARKING MY TRUCK UNTIL FORD FEELS LIKE GETTING THE PARTS. AND LASTLY, SINCE FORD PUT BAD INFLATORS IN MY RANGER TWO YEARS AGO, HOW DO I KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN ONCE T MY DEALER GETS THE PARTS? PLEASE, ANY HELP ON YOUR PART WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I RECEIVED A FORD RECALL NOTICE DATED JANUARY 2018 FROM FORD. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH JUSTIN HOOVER @ CRATER LAKE FORD, MEDFORD OREGON FOR REPAIRS ON JANUARY 16TH.

I SUBSEQUENTLY TALKED WITH MARK RETTER @ BUTLER FORD ON APRIL 4TH AND 9TH AND RECEIVED THE SAME INFORMATION. THERE MUST BE A BREAKDOWN IN INFORMATION/COMMUNICATION BETWEEN FORD AND ITS DEALERS. HELP ! ! ! MY VEHICLE STILL NEEDS TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED.
