It has been over 1 year since the discovery of safety issues with the passenger side airbag in my car. There has been no urgency around fixing this issue in a timely manner. Please help expedite the replacement process so I don't have to watch someone I care about die next to me due to shrapnel injuries from a faulty inflator.

Takata recall- I called the dealer several times and cant get my car fixed, dealer says they dont have parts., parts on back order
I've been waiting for over three years with this recall and yet they haven't replaced the drivers airbag I think this is a little ridiculous what should I do they keep saying the parts not available I can't drive my car it's not safe for me what should I do?
Ok, 5/22/2015 we received a recall notice for the drivers side ab, it was replaced, today the car is in for that recall of 2015?. We received a letter stating the passenger ab is recalled, however ford does not have the parts. Today I called ford about the drivers side, they had no record of the car being repaired 5/2015. I would like to know why? Was the ab ever fixed?, on the drivers. I feel unsafe driving the car. The passenger side could take up to the end of dec. 2017 to be replaced. The complaint is the drivers, the replacement being recalled!, plus ford has no record of the 2015 replacement. Today it's a gosch ford, having the drivers side ab replaced. We are the original owners, and just purchased a f150, 2016 recently from gosch. I feel someone is not telling the truth about the repair. I have the invoice right in front of me, and it stated drivers ab inflator replacement completed.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 mustang gt. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The part to do the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Takata recall: to state there is no remedy available is not an acceptable answer. The manufacturer should be accountable to the government, who in turn should be accountable to the consumer, to ensure a known problem that can cause severe injury and/or death is resolved by whatever means are necessary to protect consumers. Other (foreign) manufacturers are impounding their vehicles and providing (safe) vehicles to their customers for the duration until the vehicle is repaired--free of charge! Why cannot a u.s. Manufacturer be held to the same standard?

Passenger side front airbag inflator may rupture with metal fragments hitting the passenger.
I have had 2 recalls, for both driver's side and passenger side airbags. In both instances, it takes a very long time to get these replaced. Meantime I am driving around in an unsafe vehicle. When I asked for a replacement vehicle until mine is repaired, I was told they didn't do that. It was bad enough when it was on my side, but now it's on the side where my mother, who suffers from dementia, usually sits. I have enough to worry about with her, without having to worry about the airbag deploying and injuring or killing her. I purchased their product in good faith, and now, through no fault of my own, I am forced to drive around in a possible death trap. I don't think asking for a temporary replacement vehicle is an unreasonable request.
Takata recall contacted ford directly, talked with two dealers and was told "it is the driver's side airbag only" had both of the driver 's side replacement recalls done after waiting for about a year for replacement parts for the second. Now I get a recall for the passenger side with again with "no replacement parts available" I paid extra for additional for side airbags in my car and I would like for someone like ford, or the government to find out if the side curtain airbags are just as dangerous as the the others installed. So maybe they could get them all fixed before more folks get killed by "safety devices".
Takata recall: called my local ford dealer in july of 2015. I was told they were on order and they would call me. Had keys made at the dealer in september 2015, still on order. July 2016 still on order after I called 4 times in the last year. Ford explained they were on order and I should get a letter by the end of 2016. In december 2015 phil long ford sent me a letter offering me $10,705 trade for my shelby mustang to trade for a new car! Dealer will not return my phone calls.
Takata recall: I have contacted ford corp twice and they told me a letter would be sent....this since 2014. I have contacted holman ford in maple shade, nj 4 times to ask if they have the parts for the airbag recall. They have consistently told me they don't have the parts yet and I will get a letter. I have not moved or changed my address for 33 years and have not received anything.
"takata recall" findlay ford or friendly ford does not have a replacement or know when they will. Said they would send a postcard if they get one in. I'd like to get this fixed before I die. Thanks for being there for us consumers. K. Simpler
Takata recall -- I am the owner of a 2006 mustang gt, for which I received a recall notice by mail in december 2015. I phoned the dealer immediately to schedule the service on the car, but was told that parts were not available that week. The car was essentially off the road in storage the remainder of the winter. I phone the dealer on 4/28/2016, and was told that parts were still not available. They were "hoping the parts would be in, soon." this is an unconscionable delay for a problem that could result in "serious injury or death," according to the recall notice. What can be done about the situation?
"takata recall", I have contacted the dealership(beau townsend) last year about the recall, they said I was placed on a waiting list, I still do not have my mustang recall replaced. I do not want to drive this car until fixed..can someone help?

I am concerned about a recall (14v802) the recall indicates that fragments can strike the occupants of the vehicle in the event of a crash. Ford is telling me that this is not the recall which has been in the news lately about that very same symptom even though the vehicle has been in the desert for the last 9 years. I'm confused about which recall qualifies for the priority repair if this one doesn't.
This morning the unexpected and unheard of happened my passenger side airbag inside the seat deployed for no apparent reason. I was pulling in to the gas station at about 5-10 MPH with my brother in the passenger side and wife in backseat when all of a sudden the airbag exploded, my brother thought we got into a crash and wife thought we were getting shot at and I thought my engine exploded until my brother said it was the airbag and was complaining of pain in his arm while my wife complained she could not hear from the loud pop when it deployed. My car has ford racing lowering springs I have had them on the car for almost two years. I recently drove from south carolina to texas and the roads were not smooth especially here in texas where it happened. I might understand the airbag in the seat deploying while hitting a hard bump but not when driving on a smooth concrete surface where it ended up deploying. I think if I was driving down the highway and the airbag inside the seat on the driver side would have deployed I could have lost control.
