Takata recall. We need a fix. We keep getting recall notices, when we call the dealers, the same answer every time, we will call you when we get the parts. No returned calls. Our family has a ford and chevy that have been on the recall list for "4" years!?! Neither have a fix for it. I understand takata is to blame, but an alternative fix should be made to take care of this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When contacting ford dealerships, they state they do not have the parts for the recall. I do not question the dealerships, as i feel they sincerely don't. But there are two airbag recalls for this model and this have been going on for quite sometime, with the dealerships not having the parts to fix recalls from 2016 through today. *tr

After we had the first airbag recall replaced we started to experience the flicker 9f the airbag light. We assumed this was due to the necessity of the passenger side airbag needing to be recalled. Our service technician doesn't agree. They say the instrument cluster needs replacing. The only information i can find on that is that all other gauges fail if the cluster needs replacing. That is why i feel that the…
