    I had the drivers side airbag replaced but they did not do the passenger side airbag at the same time so now its a major inconvenience to go back into the dealer for another round of waiting. They said they would come to my home (as recall notice number three and four spelled out) to perform this service but they did not show up as set up in advance. The dealer is golden circle ford in jackson tn [redacted]) and the…

    I have been to my ford dealership 4 different times to have the airbag recall taken care of and every time i go they say the parts are back ordered. I don't believe ford anymore and i don't believe they have anymore parts to handle this recall. I am tired of waiting. This is a critical recall that could kill a front passenger in an accident should the airbag deploy. They are not taking this recall serious when they…

    Takata recall: we cannot locate parts for the recall repair. The notification was mailed approximately 6 weeks ago. Why recall the parts if replacements are not available? What is a reasonable amount of time to wait for the parts to arrive at the dealer?

There has been barely any news about this subject and many of us are starting to lose hope that they are even really concerned about getting these things replaced. I am unable to even have my girlfriend in the car anymore because she feels unsafe. I'm unable to sell the car because people feel unsafe. And…

    Takata recall: ford dealer ( north central ford ) they stated that ford has not informed them how to handle this recall. There are no parts to handle it. What if my son is in the passenger seat. The airbag deploys killing him or who ever is in the passenger seat. How are we going to fix this?
