This complaint is about the recall process on my son's mustang. Ford sent us notice last year and nothing has been done as the dealer repeatly told they don't have the part yet. If the situation can cause injury, i would expect priority to be placed on replacement parts.

Takata recall. I received notice of recall on my ford mustang 9 to 12 months ago. The dealer tells me they don't have the part to replace the airbag. My husband and son both had the same recall on their dodge cars and the vehicles were repaired immediately many months ago. In the mean time, i'm still waiting for parts for my car and praying i'm not in a car accident. I have great concern for my safety and the safety…

Takata recall. I was notified by ford around june of 2015 about the possibility of a defective airbag inflator on the driver's side. It is almost april 2016, and as of today, ford has no idea when service parts will be made available for the repair. This car is driven every day and i am disappointed at the lack of speed that takata and ford seem to be placing on this recall.

It has been two years trying to get my passenger air bag replaced through "ford of bellevue" in washington. Their same answer has not changed through multiple phone calls over that time, saying they do not have the parts and that it is a regional shortage. This is ridiculous. Consumerreports reported in november 2017 that "nhtsa says earlier airbag shortages have largely been resolved.". That was 6 months ago and i…
