Takata recall: I was notified on march 1, 2017 of the airbag recall. It's been almost year and I've heard nothing since. Each time I call the dealer, they tell me 'we're working on it.' and that 'we'll call you when the parts are in.'. Meanwhile, I'm running my kids around in this vehicle every day. I think it's absurd for something to take this long. I would like this problem addressed immediately. And if there is financial compensation available for the trouble, I would like to know how that application process works as well. The recall notice is the federal safety agency recall 17v‑024
Takata recall, I received recall notice march 2017. I have contacted my dealership periodically for 10 months. I wrote to ford 4 times. One response from ford dated oct 13, 2017 advised zone fixes. I live in utah-zone c which stated "are not affected at this time. Humidity zones are priority. My relatives live in minnesota. I was born in minnesota. It seems from ford's side that as long as I do not drive out of the utah state border I am less apt to have a serious issue. Going one step farther if I leave it in my garage even less probability of disaster. I have explained this to ford with no response. I have enough letter responses from takata to start a toilet tissue factory. This is ford issue, they hired takata. I am tired of being pushed off to takata (who filed bankruptcy / restructure. All I want is my car fixed and the satisfaction that my wife and I driving in minnesota or any other state between utah and minnesota will not be torn apart by shrapnel. My local ford dealership in layton utah said they have no info on when this fix will be available. Help please.
Takata recall. My car has been on the recall for over a year without resolution regarding the takata airbag recall. I check status regularly and I'm informed they do not have replacement part. This is an unacceptable period of time to not be able to have a passenger ride in our family vehicle. We have a road trip planned and need the airbag replaced immediately.

2007 ford edge. Consumer writes in regards to takata airbags safety recall. *ld the concumer requested information regarding the airbag recall pertaining to the ford edge.
Takata recall I have been informed that my vehicle is no longer safe to drive while some one is in the passenger seat. If deployed 'metal fragments-to be expelled causing serious injury or death.'I called ford to see if they might have a temporary solution reguarding this hazardous recall, since the possible replacement will not become available until the spring of 2018, the representative could not provide me with an answer. According to the rep ford is not responsible. This airbag inflator is a huge problem in my life and I would have liked if they had rentals for the duration of this issue. Not only is it a hazard for the owner and my family but it is unethical for ford company not to consider what could happen to the people who own defective vehicles. I own this ford and have a family of five. I don't have other means to travel and take kids to school, soccer, and softball. This vehicle is our only way to be where we have to be. Ford is wrong for putting us out and putting my familys lives jeopardy.
Takata inflators I have a saftey recall for my airbags. I am in the dallas area and I got in contact with all of the ford dealerships in the dallas area and non of them have the replacement parts. After researching the issue I should not drive with a passenger because if the airbag were to inflate it could send metal fragments flying causing serious injury and death. This is obviously a major concern and due to the fact that I use my vehicle daily for carpool I need to get this taken care of as soon as possible. However the ford dealerships have said they don't have the parts and they are not sure when they will get them, specifically north central ford in richardson which is my dealership. This is cause for major concern for me that I cannot get this replaced.
They never get the airbag for replacement. They have sent us 2 run around letters, first one dated july, 2016. Recall notice july 2016.

Takata recall - I have no information about when my car will be fixed. I was told not to have a passenger ride in the front seat. I use my car to help seniors get to our church and I cannot even do this anymore! I am afraid to drive my car and ford has not been helpful in rectifying this situation for me. Please help! This has been going on for at least a year now.

Takata recall. My vehicle was recalled due to the potential severity of harm to occupants when an airbag inflator ruptures. I was notified on june 1 2016 of this problem. I have called the ford dealer a few times during the last 19 months and the answer is the same. No parts available. More recently, I received a letter from ford advising that I should not use the front seat for passengers. Now my SUV is essentially a taxi cab. I'm sure you would agree this is a very serious matter. At this time, ford has chosen not to assist consumers who unfortunately purchased a potentially lethal product from them. I think the federal safety agency should require all manufacturers to compensate consumers who now have 1/2 a vehicle. In addition, I am concerned about the value of this vehicle. I do have one question you may assist with. In the 3rd amendment to the cro, paragraph 33 assigns a priority group to vehicles. According to my calculations, my recall notice of june 1 2016, along with the hah and age of my vehicle (2007), puts me in pg4. (march 31 2018 correction date). Append a of the document indicates that the 2007 ford edge is in pg5. Can you advise which pg my vehicle (and I) are in? I have been most patient, but 19 months of driving a potential bomb has made my patience dwindle. Please help us resolve this situation before more lives are lost. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Takata recall the recall has been in effect since june 2016. It is january of 2018 and I've received another notice that the parts are still not available to fix this issue. The airbagrecall.com website says "if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the federal safety agency vehicle safety hotline at: 1‑888‑327‑4236 or tty: 1‑800‑424‑9153 or file an online complaint with the federal safety agency." so I'm filing a complaint since almost two years has passed with no remedy.

Takata recall. We received the takata recall letter from ford stating that we should not let anyone sit in the passenger seat until the airbag was replaced. I contacted ford to find out when replacement parts would be available. The best estimate ford could provide was that possibly sometime in spring 2018, parts may become available but there were no guarantees. I told the representative that we could not function that long without allowing someone to ride in the passenger seat. I requested a loaner vehicle and the representative said that loaner vehicles are not available. The representative offered to have the supervisor call me. The supervisor repeated the information and I requested to be contacted by someone in management. The supervisor told me that was not possible. I asked repeatedly what could be done to move the process along for replacement parts and to get a loaner car. After repeated requests to be placed in contact with management, the supervisor repeatedly said that was not possible and then hung up on me. This was case # cas13801731. I checked with my local ford dealer, champion ford in edinboro, pa who said they would do the repair when they receive replacement parts. However, ford has not given any dates as to when they can expect to receive parts.

"takata recall" I received the first recall notice july 2016. I just received a second notice dated december 2017. Under the heading what should you do? On this second notice, says "do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat. The air bag inflator could rupture during deployment in a crash and cause injuries or death." I often have to drive with five people in the vehicle. Not allowing anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat is not an option and I cannot afford to purchase different vehicle. This notice also says that remedy parts have been delayed. As long as it is taking ford to remedy this situation, why are they not required to furnish loner vehicles.

Takata recall ford has sent a letter that they are developing "remedy" parts but they are not expected until spring 2018 and until then no one should ride in the front passenger seat. It is unacceptable that over 18 mos later there is still no replacement for my vehicle other than to not use the passenger seat. Is the federal safety agency aware of these delays? In the meantime, I am sure you are aware that takata has filed bankruptcy and their notification of this states I should get my airbags replaced asap. Well I would if they were available.
