Takata recall. I received a letter in march 2017 telling me the passenger frontal airbag inflator needs to be replaced. I was instructed to wait for further word from ford when I could have this done -- so far, after 10 months, I have still not heard anything.

Takata recall - ford has sent a letter stating that the passenger seat may not be used until further notice. It is difficult to see this letter as anything other than a disingenuous attempt to shift their liability to the owner especially as their website as of today is in conflict with the letter stating, 'your vehicle is affected by a takata airbags recall. Parts are not yet available, but your vehicle is safe to drive in the meantime.' this issue has been in play for almost two years and involves a threat of 'serious injury or death' to myself and my family. I require a straightforward, clear response. Please see my letter to ford attached. Thank you

It has been 2.5 years and this issue has not been resolved. I continue to ask each time I bring my car for an oil change at ford and they say they do not have the parts.

I bought my mustang from napleton's in arlington heights,il. I was told that they couldn't give me a car fax because they were running low on paper. I just received a recall in the mail from 2016 about airbag. I'm not sure if what the carfax is on my car because they told me to get one off the internet not knowing I'd have to pay for it. There was no disclosure that this mustang had a recall that can cause serious injuries or death. I need help I don't know what to do. You can look at yelp and read about napleton's in arlington heights il on dundee thank you
Takata recall. I have received a letter from ford advising to not allow anyone is sit in the first row passenger seat causing injury or death. What good is a car if you cant use the front passenger seat?
Takata recall - this recall was initiated on june 1, 2016 which is now well over a year ago. We have tried that entire time to have this fixed, but the dealers tell us the parts are not yet available. Since this causes death, I am very concerned with driving this car and the possibility of the airbag deploying and killing someone needlessly. I don't understand why the recall does not have a remedy for it when other cars have a safe deplolyment. Why can't the takata recall replace the current airbag with one that is installed on other makes and models to ensure a safe drive? This recall should be a priority!

Takata recall --I received a passenger airbag recall on my 2008 ford mustang in july 2016. So far no response. How mush longer do have to wait. My wife has survived 2 bouts of cancer. She will not ride in it.. The last thing she wants to do is get injured or killed by a defected airbag after all she has gone thru.
I was notified in writing that the right frontal airbag had been recalled and I would be contacted when the parts came in to fix it. The left frontal airbag which had been previously recalled was fixed. I have contacted the dealer twice since notification and they told me that the parts never came in and probably would not. I am now stuck with a mustang with a potential bomb in front of the passenger's seat, with no way to fix it or even to turn it off.

Takata recall - we have had this recall since june 2016. Tried multiple times to contact several dealers and have called ford. I am told there is no part to correct situation at this time! Takata is out of business and that they have to make the part themselves to correct. No end in sight! There has not been an incident at this point but we would like our recall corrected! It has been almost 18 months!

Takata recall. We received notice in july of 2016 that there is a recall on our mustang. It is now november 2017 and there is still no fix available. The letter stated that in the event of an accident, the air bag could rupture causing serious injury of death. We recently decided to trade the car in only to be told that because of the recall, the car can't be resold. So now we are stuck with a dangerous car until ford decides this fix is important to their customers.
Takata recall ford dealer informs me that the recall parts are not available. Ford motor company has sent urgent safety recall notice for both driver and passenger side airbags but only half of the problem has been corrected. What can I do next?

Takata recall I received a safety recall notice several years ago regarding my 2008 ford mustang. I have repeatedly called the dealer where I bought my car, as well as other dealers in my area trying to get the airbag replaced/repaired. All of the dealerships said they didn't have parts, that parts were on back order and would be in next few months. I got this same speech every time I called. I called my dealer at least once per month. Its has been over 2 years and my airbag has not been replaced. I have called ford motor company several times as well. Last week a received a legal notice regarding takata airbag company filing chapter 11 bankruptcy. I am driving in a potentially dangerous car. I've had my car for 9 years. I have been trying to sell it or trade it in on a new vehicle for the last 2 years and have been unable to do so because no dealership or private buyer will trade or buy a car with an open safety recall. Also, ford motor company advised me that it is illegal to sell a car with an open safety recall. Until I receive a replacement airbag, I am not able to sell or trade. All the while, my car is depreciating in value. This issue has created a personal and financial loss to me and is putting my life in danger when I drive the car.
