Tried to brake as usual and brakes were not as responsive and needed more pressure/time to stop. Abs light came on shortly after. Ford believes that the cause is ABS module and/or ABS hcu (ABS pump motor failure). They are unable to determine actual cause until I py $3,000 to replace each potential issue. While brakes seem to operate ok now, the car needs more time to stop. Have seen multiple complaints online w the same issue (spongy brakes, ABS module failures). I have also been unable to obtain the recall replacement for passenger side airbag as they are short on parts.

We were notified in january 2017 of the airbag recall. We have contacted our dealer every 2 to 3 month since then. On 06/08/2018 we received a letter stating that they would provide a rental car until the airbag was ready to be replaced. We are now unable to get a rental car.

Takata recall: I received a letter about the recall and that I would be contacted when parts were available. Months later I have now gotten a letter saying no parts are available so ford will provide a rental car, but when I called the dealer they said they could not do that because the recall is years long. So it seems I am just driving in a known unsafe car with no recourse
Takata recall. I purchased this car from keith hawthorne ford in march 2009. The car was new and now has only been driven 35,000 miles. I returned to them for servicing until 10/30/20014 (21,646 miles) for servicing. Because, I was not getting any answers concerning the recall, I then went to honest-1 for servicing until recently when my son told me to take it to a ford dealership and they will take care of the recall. When the recall was announced, then the takata bankrupt announcement. I kept asking ford dealerships. First keith hawthorne ford, then performance ford and now felix sabates ford here in charlotte, nc all on south blvd.the status of the recall. The answers were. "takata went bankrupt. "we haven't received the part yet. We will call you when we get it." hawthorne ford never called! Additionally, "they sent the wrong part." now felix sabates just announced at my last servicing on 04/24/20018, (33,386 miles) "that I have gone beyond the limitation of the recall, and ford is no longer required to honor the recall." I was also told that I received a letter announcing the recall. I did not received a letter announcing the recall! To say that I am upset is a understatement. I worry for my wife's safety every time she gets in the passenger seat anywhere we go. Respectfully submitted,
Takata recall --now nearly 1.5 years after the recall was announced, and still no part available to fix the car.

The entire dash board is lifting from its original form. The storage/glove compartment won't even open anymore due to the dashboard lifting. My a.c. Has now stop working and when I took it in for service I was told it could be part of the air bag issue. The vent that is located towards the windshield continues to fall out and now just goes right through it. The vehicle has not been in any major accident or damage in the front to trigger the bag to go off just yet. I notice this about a year and half ago. I contact ford in el cajon ,ca and they told me I would have to pay to get it diagnosed and if they can prove that it is the air bag I will get a refund but if not I'm looking at $2500 to put everything back together and potentially fixing everything else. I made numrous calls and I am still awaiting for a response

Takata recall -- I have received no information pertaining to when I can get my air bags replaced. Over several months, I have called the dealerships along with the recall line that was provided in letter from ford. However, I continue to receive zero updates as to when these airbags may be replaced. I continue to hound local dealerships, but doesn't appear they have much information as to timing either. Hard to gift a car in good condition to my teen when air bags are under recall. Please help!

Takada air bag
1.takata recall. 3-5 year waiting period and yet no repair. Also, if driver airbag is takata, why no recall or replacement? 2. Brakes will drop all the way to floor in emergency braking! Why no recall or fix? This is life threatening problem.

Takata recall it has been about 2 years dealing with this recall. When will it be taken care of?
Takata recall. Still no action. Car will be ten years old soon and nothing has happened so I'll put in today's date.
We got a notice on july 2016 saying we had takata airbags and it had a the federal safety agency recall 16v‑384. I have called both locally here in texas and in detroit and they continue to tell me they don't have the parts to fix the car. When will they fix this car?
Takata recall !!!!!!! The display panel warning lights come on and go off at will. Mostly when its humid outside or raining. This is including the scary airbag light, oil light, engine light. I am stuck with the car since ford stated no one should sit in the front passenger seat. Has no value. And I pray every day it does not kill me!

Takata safety recall 18s01: I purchased the vehicle 6 months ago. I recently received the defective airbag recall notice dated feb 2018. Today I had the vehicle appraised to see if trading it in was an option. The cash value I was quoted vs. The payoff amount is over $5,000. The availability for replacement airbags are estimated to be a year or more & priority has been given to dealerships located in the south. I can't sale the vehicle because of the defect, but I'm beyond afraid to continue driving the vehicle because of the defect. I'm disabled, recovering from a recent craniotomy & the medical facility is an hour away. I'm in need of a safe & reliable vehicle. Ford motor company isn't offering any compensation (timely repairs, replacements vehicle, loaners or even a partial refund to assist with the trade-in value). My auto insurance coverage can't get involved because it's a recall. Ford motor company has instructed dealerships not to remove the airbags because the risk is greater. I now have a vehicle that (do to no fault of my own) I've made all of 5 payments on with 42 more months of financing & interest that I'm obligated to pay that's parked because it can't be repaired in a timely manner & that can't be safely driven because of a manufacturer's pre-existing condition. What am I suppose to do with this vehicle now??
