Been waiting since jan 2016 for the airbag replacement. I do think for something that could cause death would be handle faster than this. This is unexceptable.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion hybrid. While driving at any speed, the vehicle made unusual noises. The noises increased at approximately 45 MPH without warning. The vehicle was taken to east tennessee ford (crossville, tn, 931‑240‑4121) where it was diagnosed that the front passenger wheel bearing was faulty and about to fall out. The technician replaced the wheel bearing assembly. Approximately two years later, the front driver's wheel bearing also failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the wheel bearing assembly was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and stated that there was no recall. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
Ford notified me of recall for passenger side airbag in 2016. Dealers told me they could not replace it at that time. It is over a year later, they still cannot replace it or disable it. So my passengers need to ride in the back seat now for over a year.
Takata recall... I was notified that there was a recall on my car in june 2016 by mail. I have contacted future ford of concord, ca where I purchased the car repeatedly. I also contacted walnut creek, ca ford. They said that takata went bankrupt and they don't have any airbags to replace the potentially dangerous one in my car. They said that they will contact me when they are available. This is not an acceptable answer. While I haven't had an accident, if I do, I may suffer death or injury rather then having the airbag protect me as the designers intended.
Takata recall. I just bought a used car only to find out it is under this dangerous and possibly deadly recall. Ford says parts are not available to fix it, and they have no estimate of when they will be. After watching the federal safety agency video on the takata problem, this is clearly an unacceptable answer, especially since we bought and older car and live in a hot, humid climate!! I don't want my family members to be at risk of metal parts flying out of the airbag in the event of a crash!

Takata recall- my car's passenger airbags have been under recall for 1.5 years and I am still waiting for this repair to be made.
Recieved a recall july 2016 and never could get a sceduled replacement but they could sell us one.
I have contacted the vendor after it being over a year, and I am still being told that they have no plans to do anything because they are not the only ones who bought those airbags, and it is really me who would have to do something, which I guess would be to find the airbags myself and replace them.

I contacted my local dealership and they said the replacement parts have been on back order for over a year. He said he has no idea when they will come in.

Takata recall. I was first notified of the recall in june 2016. For over a year I have not been able to use the vehicle for family travel due to the defective passenger airbag. We purchased the car for the fuel efficiency for driving around town and on longer trips. Takata has taken an unreasonably long amount of time to repair the vehicle. I spoke with my local ford dealer yesterday and the parts were still not available.

Takata recall, I got the notice last july and have called, written and stopped in person to get the repair and ford claims they do not have the parts. I live in florida where it is hot and the conditions are ripe for the airbag to explode.
I have called and stopped by ford dealerships in dallas and rockwall, texas over a period of years and been told they do not have the replacement airbags and that I will be called when they arrive. I have not received any calls and get the same reply every time I ask. I am afraid to allow passengers in my car due to the risk, which has severely impacted my ability to use my car normally.
