Takata recall I'm still waiting for available parts to fix the passenger airbag in my vehicle. The driver's side was remedied rather quickly a few years ago but have yet to receive notice that the passenger side can be replaced. Now, today, I received notice that takata holdings is filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy, which leaves me to believe the company will dissolve or be sold "free and clear" leaving me (and many others) with a vehicle that will never be properly made whole.

Takata recall - when the driver airbag was recalled, I specifically requested information regarding the passenger airbag and whether a similar replacement would be required. I was told there was no issue with the passenger airbag. I later came to find out a notice of the problem had already been posted and the dealer had misrepresented the facts. My car has sat in the garage for over a year. When ford is questioned, they suggest the federal safety agency has deemed it safe to continuing driving. I suggest that ford should assume the liability should I continue to drive the vehicle, however, ford continues to identify the federal safety agency as being the responsible party.

Takata recall : the first recall for the drivers side air bag was issued around may of 2015 and finally parts arrived to complete the recall around may-june 2016. Within weeks of that time a second recall was received for the passenger side air bag which is now dated 6/1/2016. It has now been over a year and no update for this current recall and ford will not grant a loaner vehicle until the repair is made. My wife will not ride in the vehicle until the recall has been completed and over 1 year for a safety recall seems very irresponsible. Please help get my wife back into my automobile. I live in orlando florida where heat and humidity are also considered to be factors in the air bag failures.

2011 ford mustang. Consumer writes in regards to driver side airbag issues. *ld the consumer stated the driver's side airbag was repaired under recall but, the air bag and harness were faulty. The manufacturer did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was out of warranty. Updated 06/20/2017
Takata recall. This problem is unexceptable I have been waiting for more than a year for the passenger air bag recall. I have a small child that has to use that seat on a daily drive. I cannot beleave that ford is allowed to sell new cars that have the latest new air bags but I have to endanger the life of a small child every time I put them in the seat. This recall needs to have a highest priority that can be given there is no excuse for a modern car company not to fix all cars involved before they can sell any new ones. Ford does not want me as a grandfather that has lost a loved one becuse it puts new car sales over the saftiey of one that they have allready sold and collected the proffit on. The federal safety agency needs to put pressure on them to fix the claymore mine!!!!! That is in my dash.

Takata recall: it has been 8 months since the recall on my vehicle regarding the passenger side airbag was published. Since that time, I have not transported anyone on the passenger side of the car fearing for their safety. This has created a large burden on my family as the vehicle can no longer transport my wife and two year old child. The recall has lasted so long that I made the decision to sell the car. Two dealerships (including a ford dealer) refused to purchase due to the recall on the grounds that they will be unable to sell it while the recall is in effect. No private sale offer comes close to the vehicle's blue book value disclosing the vehicle's condition. I am left with the choice of transporting my family in an unsafe vehicle or taking a loss of several thousand dollars and purchasing another vehicle which, due to the situation,I will struggle to afford. My choice is clear as I will not sacrifice the safety of my family, but this situation is completely unsatisfactory as no safety recall should take the better part of a year (and counting) to implement.
"takata recall", car was involved in accident on november 3, 2016. Car was brought immediately to body shop for repair. Once body shop received car, the driver (steering wheel) air bag was ordered at ford. Geico, my insurance company notified me on december 3, 2016 that they will no longer cover my rental car expense since its the fault of the car manufacturer why the air bag is not available. So in order to avoid loosing my job I have to pay $26/day for the rental car. I have had to pay over $500 just for the 20 days I have had the rental car. I called ford customer service and they told me they will not cover the cost of my rental car and they are very sorry I am inconvenienced. This is totally unacceptable, this car was purchased for over $65,000 in 2011 as it is a shelby cobra gt500 convertible. It is one thing if ford could provide me with an estimated date but they have not provided me with any date so far. I cannot afford what I already paid for the rental car not even thinking of how many more days I will have to pay for the rental until ford can provide me with an airbag. Please help me in any way possible. Thank you!!!!
Takata recall I had my car at the dealership recently to do necessary repairs to the driver side airbag, there is still an active recall for the passenger side airbag that they are still waiting on parts for. So anyway I rear ended a vehicle while stuck in slow moving rush hour traffic on i35 n in austin tx. This happened after they had worked on my driver side airbag. I was not moving faster than 10mph and the collision impact did very minimal damage to my vehicle and the other driver's vehicle. Since it was bumper to bumper rush hour traffic on a major highway we could not be bothered with waiting for a police report. Like I said the damage was minimal but the accident did cause my airbag to deploy, which did cause minor burn injuries on my hands and arms. This is the most mild traffic accident I have experienced in my lifetime yet it is is the first time I have actually seen an airbag deploy, which is why I believe there may have been flaws with the repair job or the airbag had malfunctioned. I have attempted numerous times to get the dealership to address this issue and I have not had any luck. They keep saying they already fixed it and I am going to have to pay for this out of pocket because my insurance also will not cover the cost of replacing my airbag. So right now I am continuing to drive around with a deployed airbag and my inspection is currently past due. So I have been told that my vehicle needs to be inspected to see if the airbag recall repair work that was done was faulty or incomplete and most likely what caused my airbag to deploy unnecessarily.
Takata recall: I was driving in rush hour traffic on ih35 north and I accidentally rear ended a vehicle trying to get on the exit ramp. The impact was pretty mild because no one was moving faster than 5-10 MPH. The damage on both vehicles was minimal and barely noticeable but the airbag on my driver side did deploy. I had brought my vehicle to the dealership as part of a safety recall before this accident. I highly suspect that the airbag may have deployed unnecessarily or due to some flaw in the repair job. I have attempted to bring my car to the dealership and upon seeing the airbag deployed, most of the service people start talking about how much it is going to cost to fix it. I have a safety recall letter from ford assuring me that I should be able to have this fixed promptly and free of charge. I have been in several car accidents, much more severeimpacts than this one but this was the first time I have ever seen my car's airbag deploy, and the letter I have does warn me that it could possibly deploy abnormally.
I was recently in a wreck and the airbags deployed. My car is stuck at the body shop because they can not get an airbag for it. My insurance on my rental car will be up in 2 weeks, the car would have been fixed already it just had minor front end damage and the windshield crack due to the airbag and the airbag injured my right arm. It never should deployed in the first place the impact was not even that severe. I have contacted ford multiple times and they never get back with me this is beginning to get very frustrating. My car is easily repairable but its just setting there because of no airbag. Some help in this matter would be appreciated thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall: ford requires the car 1 wk to make the repair and does not provide any rental car substitute, so the repair cannot be completed properly!!
