I received recall letter back in july 2016 regarding the passenger air bag recall. Safety recall notice 16s26/the federal safety agency recall 16v‑384. And the issue hasn't been correct to date. I am nervous drfiving my car with a passenger and now the dash is peeling away from the air bag site.

I have concern every time I drive my vehicle. My vehicle has 145000 miles on it will this be fixed before my car goes to the grave yard god forbid I get in an accident and someone gets injured further because of this such a big lawsuit to be had, I have been driving this car since 2008 and just now we are finding this out? Shame on every party involved including the federal safety agency! When will this be remedied so I could have peace of mind again while commuting in my vehicle! So if I have to drive my car in fear for the remainder of its life who do I bring forth my complaints and lawsuit to god forbid an injury occurs? This is so far beyond unacceptable that it is sickening! Lets quit with all this vague information and step up our game and get these older cars remedied sooner than later! Is my car safe to drive?

Recall repair has been ignored by dealership and manufacturer to date. I responded to the safety recall letter 7/2016 and nothing more than - no parts- no target date for parts-no there is no one who knows or can do anything more. Just have to wait. For what?? Until there is an injury or death. The alarm has been sounded - then no remedy available. The access on the top of the front dash has pulled apart and now have been notified that the airbag may deploy at any time.
Passenger side airbag is affected by the takata recall. My complaint is that ford has known since june 2016 that the passenger airbag needs to be replaced, but has yet to send notification. I only became aware of the recall by researching on my own. Ford has an obligation to notify owners of a recall even if parts are not immediately available.
Takata recall. I received a recall notice july, 2016. I have called ford as well as my local dealer and they still have no timeline for when the parts will be available to repair this defect. I have not as of yet had an issue, but I am very unhappy with the lack of progress in resolving this issue.
Recall ;etter rec'd july 2016. Told no air bags available at that time and would be contacted when they had. Have heard nothing as of 11-18-2016. Called ford today and told by "mary" part not available, can't provide estimate of time when it would be available.
Takata recall. Received recall notice (16s26/the federal safety agency recall 16v‑384) july 2016 from ford. Today is november 7, 2016. Notice of repair schedule and fix for of defective airbag is not timely and has not yet been made yet.

About the same time my recall notice was sent the leather on the dash lifted that was attached to the cap holding the air bag. I could not get it to slip back so now I have an opening on the dash in front of the air bag. I did take it to ford the said it was not going to open up all the way unless I had an accident. I am still waiting for a recall for the airbag to be fixed but I feel that this was not a coincident that the leather lifted. I am worried that the air bag will deploy and someone in the front driver side will be hurt. I know the car is an older model but I keep this car in perfect condition.

Takata recall I got a recall letter in the mail in july about my passenger side 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. I've been very scared to drive my car every since. I do not feel like this issue is being resolved in a timely manner.
Takata recall it is taking an inordinate amount of time for takata to have a remedy provided. When I just checked the website it said remedy not available yet. *js

Takata recall: I do not think that enough pressure is being applied to get the problem fixed. My car should be pulled and a rental car provided at no cost. That will get them to fix the problem faster. I do not have full use of my vehicle as I no longer allow a passenger to ride in the front seat. Only the passenger side airbag is impacted on my vehicle. Ground all vehicles impacted and see how fast they get the problem corrected. It has been long enough. Take the gloves off and get tough!

Illegal, unethical, immoral decisions made by ford in waiting eight years to notify me about driving a dangerous unsafe car for many years. If there are laws to follow in notifying you or the consumer when a manufacturer discovers a serious and dangerous defect in a product they offer, then they most have been violated in my case and hundreds of millions of consumers cases. For eight or nine years I have owned and my wife has driven the vehicle listed. I would like you to determine when did ford know about their cars having dangerous air bags.takata has been in the news for years. Which people knew. Did these people follow your laws concerning notifying the federal safety agency, consumers and other government offices? I received safety recall notice 16s26/the federal safety agency recall 16v‑384 in july of 2016 after driving this car for eight or nine years. If you find the true answers to my questions then it is difficult to believe that no violations occurred. The actions taken by ford over the past eight years must violate the federal safety agency codes, consumer rights, product safety codes and many other codes. When national ford employees can not give approximate date to get unsafe car repaired to the nearest month and they do not return call as promised, then if no codes are violated then surely that is an example of unethical or immoral decisions made over the past nine years. So again I ask. When did ford know of the problem? Who knew? But more importantly what laws were violated? In closing I would like to say that "statistically speaking" I find it very difficult to believe that a car could go eight or nine years with a defective product (especially a takata air bag) and all codes especially related to timely notifications to you and the consumer were met. Thank you [xxx] ps I have a 2008 ford fusion sitting in the garage for three months for sale if you know any one who would buy a ford?

"takata recall" - I purchased a 2008 ford fusion in 2010 with only 19,000 miles. During the month of july 2013, it was a very hot summer day, 90 degrees and my car windows were shut tight. My car sat in the parking lot during working hours at least 9 hours. At this time, I had 33,000 miles on this car and my first ford vehicle purchased. I entered inside, I noticed on the instrument panel on the front passenger side the air bag had popped up along the perimeter. I was able to see the foam material underneath the airbag. Immediately, I was concerned and notified the hq ford motor company. I request to be transferred to the recall department. I asked if they had any complaints or recalls on the ford fusion front passenger airbag. Her response was "no". I informed her of the occurrence in detail and felt action must be taken immediately. I requested to please note this in file for any future calls. I had offered to send a picture of it but I was told it was not necessary. I politely asked what my options were and what steps are needed. She replied, it was not ford's responsibility and recommend I drive my vehicle to the nearest dealership. I expressed how imperative it was to forward this information. I took my vehicle to the nearest dealership, explained the safety issue and it must be taken care of immediately. I was told it was not their responsibility, the cost would be $2,500.00 out of my pocket. I was shocked! I left the dealership unhappy and disappointed. It is now 2016, I have 72,000 on my vehicle, the problem remains the same. It has not been repaired, I refuse to pay. I never received any notice in the mail. I am very disturbed by this. As it stands, there is a recall on the front passenger ip but unable to repair due to part not available? I would appreciate if someone can please help and assist me. Thank you!
