Takata recall. We received ford takata safety recall notice on july 21, 2016, which explained why our passenger dash was cracked and bulging. We immediately called local ford dealer. He said he did not have the parts and we would be contacted when parts came in. We have contacted dealer multiple times because the dash is still bulging where passenger airbag is located. What really concerned us was the following sentence in the notice: "a ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death." consequently we have been afraid to drive the fusion and so it just sits in our driveway.
"takata recall" on july 2016 I received a notice regarding the federal safety agency recall 16v‑384 and at that time I contacted the ford dealership in daytona beach, fl. And they tell me they don't have the parts available and that I'll get a notice in the mail when they are ready. Fast forward 10 months later (may 1st 2017) and I still got the same response with no time table as to when this important safety issue will get addressed. I currently have the airbag light lit on the console and feel that I'm driving an unsafe vehicle should I get in an accident. I would ask if the federal safety agency can follow up with the daytona beach, fl dealerships to help speed up the recall. Thank you!

Takata recall; recall was issued june 1 of 2016. It is now april 17, 2017, and there is still not a remedy available. This is unacceptable. My 2007 honda civic was caught up in the same recall, and it has been repaired/replaced. I am now expecting my first child, and I feel unsafe putting an infant in this car, due to the potential hazard. Further, I understand that the failure of the airbag is more likely to occur in humid/corrosive environments. I live on the gulf coast and it is quite humid here. This has drug on far, far too long.

Takata recall - I received a letter from ford motor company regarding the recall for the takata air bag inflator recall. The letter stated that I would receive notice when there was a remedy available. As of 4/5/17, I have not received this letter and the ford safety recall site states that there is not yet a remedy available. This is unacceptable and I do not feel safe having passengers riding in the passenger seat. I live in an extremely hot and humid environment in arkansas and this is a serious safety concern. An unexpected airbag deployment, or failure to deploy in an accident is extremely dangerous to both any passengers and as the driver of the vehicle. I find ford's effort to remedy this problem unacceptable and needs to be fixed immediately. Please force ford's hand in fixing this recall and expediting the remedy process.
Takata recall: it's been a year since we were informed of the recall. Does the federal safety agency put pressure on the dealers to get the recall completed?

Takata recall. I am filing a complaint in regards to my vehicle that is already recalled. My car has been recalled for a passenger airbag that is part of the takata airbag issue. My car was recalled in june of 2016. That initial recall notice was my only information sent to me by ford. I have not seen any updates to this recall since. When I call I get the usual canned response from a representative that there is no fix yet. I have been checking their website regularly. Today the site doesn't even show my car as being recalled which I hope is just a problem with their website. My car is close to 10 years old with this airbag and my environment has been very humid and hot during the summer months which can contribute to these airbags rupturing. It would be nice to at least get some sort of time frame as to when ford hopes to have a fix, or even an idea of when this is going to be remedied. A simple answer of fourth quarter 2017, or whatever, I don't care. I don't feel comfortable driving this car even though I can't afford not to since it is my commuter car. I don't allow anyone to ride in this vehicle either.

Passenger side airbag makes a squeaking noise while driving. Separation between the airbag and the dash is also noticeable. Passenger side airbag for the vehicle has been under recall since 6/1/2016 but ford dealership is stating no parts are available and they have no eta on when they will be available. In the meantime, we are uncomfortable driving the car with the airbag acting as it is.

Informed recently that family is driving a vehicle with recalled airbags. Called local ford dealership and was given no indication of a known fix for the recall at this time and does not have in timeline for the solution. Requested again a solution for a now for unsafe vehicle on the road due to a recall. No such solution could be given.
The dash around the passenger side air bag is separating from the area where the air bag is located.
Takata recall I am unable to be provided with any more information as to when or how the process of replacing the air bags is to proceed. I am the only owner and driver of the vehicle a 2007 ford fusion. The cars has just about 40,000 thousands miles on it. My concern is that the ford company has no interest in replacing the air bags on a vehicle that is almost 10 years old!!!!! I drive this car daily and I have deep fears and concerns that I will have an accident that will invovle injuries from the defective air bags. I want a more truthful and more detailed answer from the ford company insttead of they(who ever they are) are making parts .
Takata recall I received a letter from ford in july 2016 stating that a defect in the passenger side air bag could cause death to the passenger in the event of an accident. It further stated that I would receive another letter when parts are available. Now, 8 months later, I have not received another letter, and the local dealer does not have the parts for the recall service and does not know when those parts will be available. Based on information on the ford web site I determined that my car is high risk for serious air bag malfunction because of its age (10 years) temperature fluctuations, and humidity variations. In spite of this very dangerous condition, known by ford motor company for a long time they have not performed the correction nor advised me when they will perform it.
