Takata recall would like to see something done about the passenger side. They sent ma a notice saying not to have anyone on the passenger side. This negates my cars usefulness. How about you people do something as ford doesn't want to. Maybe use a "lemon law and make them buy it back" do something!! Have filed before with assurance that something would be done. Not!!
