Takata recall ford dealer still has no parts to replace airbag, after over a year of waiting. Dash is buckling below the passenger side airbag. This recall needs to be repaired immediately.
I had an accident last week the board has the rubber outside, I have more than a year waiting, I do not like to drive like this and they tell me that I have to wait and they do not have a car available to use, they do not know when the parts arrive. [xxx] manufacturer recall number 16s26 cell #[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr updated 10/17/2017
Takata recall - I received a letter july 2016 stating that my airbag needed to be replaced in accordance with the national traffic and motor vehicle safety act. I have been with two ford dealers since then, but they said every time I brought my car in for an oil change that the replacement airbag was not available. I just entered my VIN into the federal safety agency website and it states that my car does need the airbag replaced since it could rupture on impact, but the remedy is not available yet. I am very concerned since I'm driving with an airbag that is known to cause danger and death if deployed. I want my airbag fixed asap. It's been over a year that I've been forced to drive in danger. Please provide the remedy now.

Takata recall I received a letter from the ford motor company on july 2016 stating that the passenger frontal airbag inflator may rupture in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment. A ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death. Since this is alarming information I have called the ken grody dealer in buena park, ca on 7-30-16, 12-8-16 and 9-6-17 inquiring if the parts are available yet to fix my 2006 ford fusion. I was informed that the parts are not available yet. So my question is when will these parts be available from ford so the recall can be fulfilled? Injury or death is not acceptable for a slow moving ford co. To respond to people that bought this car.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 ford fusion. The contact stated that the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair. The contact received the recall notification in august of 2016. The dealer (galpin ford, 15505 roscoe blvd, north hills, ca, 91343) stated that the parts were unavailable for the repair.

The contact mentioned that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. Furthermore, the passenger of that seat was a senior citizen and was unable to sit in the rear of the vehicle. The manufacturer informed the contact that the dealer would be able to provide a loaner vehicle; however, the dealer stated that it was the manufacturer's decision.

Takata recall (16v‑384). I received a letter one year ago (jul 2016) regarding this recall. I am still operating this car on a daily basis. This model does not have an off switch for the passenger side front air bag so I cannot have a front passenger ride safely with me in this car as it stands now. Can you at least have a ford mechanic install an off switch for this dangerous air bag at least until a total recall can be performed? If not, I expect this recall (16v‑384) to be accomplished very soon because having to wait over a year would be extremely irresponsible on your part. Please get this done now. Thank you! My next step will be to write the potus!

Takata recall. They still are not available to fix my vehicle
Takata recall - after 13 months, there appears to be still no remedy for this recall. Is there a limit as to the time a manufacturer is provided to remedy a safety recall?
Takata recall I still have yet to get my airbags replaced. I received a letter from ford early last year and have not yet heard back.
Tamara recall I was never contacted by the dealer. I was told about the recall from a friend. When I did call my dealer , I was told I had to wait to receive notice that the parts are in to resolve the problem which I feel is very unsafe. I was not offered a loaner or rental to drive while thai is is resolved which ito me is a safety hazard because no one knows when an accident will occur.
TAKATA RECALL. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26 / the federal safety agency RECALL 16V‑384
Takata recall my car is affected by the takata recall.
Takata recall - it has been over a year, still no remedy for the air bag issue. Checked with dealer on several occasions as well as the federal safety agency website. This is not acceptable! This is a safety issue, and a lot of us drive with children in the car. The vehicle manufacturer installed it, and should be liable to repair the vehicle. Then they can fight to be reimbursed. This is ridiculous already!! They are putting people's lives in danger.
