Takata recall - ford dealer is unable to get replacement parts.
Takata recall. I received a letter from ford in march 2017 stating my passenger airbag is being recalled. I called them in may and they still didn't have a replacement available. I called them today and they still don't have them and couldn't tell me when they would be available. I asked for a loaner and they denied me one. I now have a car that only I can ride in and they won't give me a loaner. This amount of time to replace my airbag is way beyond reasonable.
"takata recall" no replacement part has been provided nor an anticipated date for it to be available. I am not allowing any passengers to ride in my vehicle and it has been necessary for me to rent vehicles on occasions where I need to transport people. A replacement part or instructions for removal of the recalled part should have been provided by now. I have a vehicle I can't drive and I can't sell. This is not acceptable. I need some assistance, please.

Takata recall: ford dealer ( north central ford ) they stated that ford has not informed them how to handle this recall. There are no parts to handle it. What if my son is in the passenger seat. The airbag deploys killing him or who ever is in the passenger seat. How are we going to fix this?
Takata recall - it is completely unacceptable that shrapnel can kill me if the air bags deploy rather than the accident! Immediate action is needed for replacement!! I have not one but two card affected!
Passenger airbag still has not been replaced. It was recalled sometime ago, and I have not been notified of a date it will be fixed.
Takata recall I have not had an accident, but have contacted numerous ford dealers in an attempt to have this recall satisfied, with no satisfaction.
Takata recall. I am unable to get a replacement passenger side airbag and the dealership is telling me there is no remedy available. I have received bankruptcy notice regarding this and do not feel that I should have to pay to get this fixed, if parts are finally available. Please advise on the direction I should go to make my car safe again.
Takata recall - we have contacted the ford dealership several times regarding the recall for the takata airbag inflator. We are told the dealership does not have the parts to make the necessary repair, and is waiting for the manufacturer to send them the parts.
Reccalli for takata passenger airbags safety notice 17so1/the federal safety agency recall 17s01. Notified march 2017. Have driven 8000 miles and 7 months. Furthr delay is inexcusable.
I have had a recall on the safety of my airbags since march 2017 and to this day in october 2017, the parts aren't available for repairing this safety issue. If I were to get in an accident, the airbags could cause serious harm or death. This is unacceptable, the parts need to be released immediately.
Takata recall has not been completed and local dealer still does not have the parts
"takata recall", drivers airbag took forever to be replaced. Next we receive recall for passenger side airbag replacement. Contacted several ford dealers for information on when replacement parts would be available. None of the local ford dealers have a clue when replacement is coming, yet they keep building new fords everyday with all types of airbags installed. Why can't there be a fix for the 2012 ford mustang gt passenger side airbag? Now takata has filed for bankruptcy. Dates entered are not exact, but I do have documentation requesting recall action on my vehicle. Where do I turn to next.

Takata recall. I keep getting these reminders to have airbags replaced. Only problem is my dealership keeps saying they don't have them. I have been trying to get in before april. I have been told when they come in I will get a call. Also was told that it was unlikely mine would rupture. This is my 17 year olds car. I want them fixed but dealership doesn't seem to be in any hurry. We reside in san antonio, tx
Takata recall: received recall mar2016. Contacted ford dealer regarding fix. I asked him 1. Is the car safe to drive. His answer was the federal safety agency said it was cleared to drive. 2. Is it ok to have a passenger in the affected seat. Same answer as in #1. 3. When will the part become available? No clue. He actually said it could be years since takata was bankrupt and they were looking for other manufacturers to make the part. The federal safety agency website states recalls are issued when equipment creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. Since the ford dealer stated that the federal safety agency cleared vehicles under this recall as 'safe to drive', could I get it in writing that my vehicle is safe to drive? I also live in florida where the 50% increase in probability exists due to temp and humidity. Also, could you please explain why only the passenger side airbag is subject to exploding and not the drivers side.

I have called several ford dealerships to have my takata air bag recall service and they all say there are no parts and I have to wait for months to get an air bag part. When I call the national ford customer service line, I got through the phone tree and chose takata air bag which hung up on me after 5 minutes of dead air. This is unacceptable behavior from an auto manufacturer with a recall ongoing.
