Takata recall i received a safety recall notice several years ago regarding my 2008 ford mustang. I have repeatedly called the dealer where i bought my car, as well as other dealers in my area trying to get the airbag replaced/repaired. All of the dealerships said they didn't have parts, that parts were on back order and would be in next few months. I got this same speech every time i called. I called my dealer at…

Takata recall. It has been over a year and a half since the drivers side airbag was replaced and i was told the passengers side would be available a month later. I have called many times and been told "not yet" when asked if the replacement was in. Now i get a post card saying takata are filing bankruptcy. I am very concerned about my safety and that of passengers in my car. I feel it is unsafe.

Tajata recall. Ford notified me in july 2016 that the air bags could cause injury or death and needed to be repaired or replace. To date, october 30, 2017, they can not effect the repair. I called a dealer today and was told the parts are not available and will not be for some time. I cannot use the car without undue stress.

Takata recall - the ford dealership claims that the parts to complete the recall have not been available for the past year and may never be available. (dealership is clinton family ford in rock hill, sc). Never being able to fix the vehicle is not what the public is being told.

I bought my mustang from napleton's in arlington heights,il. I was told that they couldn't give me a car fax because they were running low on paper. I just received a recall in the mail from 2016 about airbag. I'm not sure if what the carfax is on my car because they told me to get one off the internet not knowing i'd have to pay for it. There was no disclosure that this mustang had a recall that can cause serious…
