After receiving several recall notices, we made an appointment to have the recall performed. The only appointment available was several months out. When the time came, we went to drop off the vehicle. The dealer, corwin ford in reno, nv didn't have the parts and hadn't even ordered them. Service writer michael mcnally said that they would order parts and we would need to bring vehicle back. We expressed displeasure that they hadn't notified us of a delay. We were told that they wouldn't do the recall and we would need to take it to another dealer. We notified the manufacturer, ford, but received no response. We feel that this is a denial of the recall.*dt

There has been a recall on these for several years, been to dealer on appointments at least 3 times. They will not do the repair, tell me it's backordered, no parts, they'll call me when it's there...
Ford recalled the air bags to get fixed on my truck. I took the truck in to a local ford dealership, they supposedly fixed the recall. My son was involved in roll over crash and the air bags didn't deploy. I have a police report and photos to prove that. I also have the paperwork from the dealership showing the repair. My son sustained minor injuries. I am upset and I want answers. Ford should be held accountable, especially in a safety matter.this occurred in albuquerque, nm.
I am looking to see the repairs are completed. Lamoille valley ford was to have completed replacement on 9/6/19.
This vehicle was involved in an intersection roll-over accident on 21 dec 2009. Usaa declared the truck a total loss.I obviously no longer own or drive this truck. I checked the box no longer own this vehicle several years ago and mailed it back but still get my monthly reminders to have my air bags replaced. By the way, the air bags did not deploy

Takata recall. Ford has sent me notices for years on this recall. I call every ford dealership in town every time I get one, all claim they don't have parts, and can't get them, and will call me when they do. They never call. I called number provided on recall card, "agent" for ford told me to call the local dealership. I explained I had just finished doing that again and got the same response as I always get and the agent just told me to call the local dealership. Ford seems to be trying to circumvent this recall.

Takata recall. I've not been able to get parts for months. I am driving an unsafe vehicle and my next step is to contact a class-action attorney.
I have received 2 notices in as many years and have called my local ford dealership to set up appointment to replace my air bags. After multiple calls to the service department/ manager I haven't heard anything. I have also notified fmc and they gave me a case number and I have given that case number to the ford dealership service department manager and it's been over a week and fmc assured me that all dealerships had been supplied with ample parts to remedy these issues. I am past mad. I am infuriated. Once this is issue is fixed I'll never own another ford product.

Takata recall: problem with ford dealership I received notice of the recall in january. I called the local dealer (purvis ford) in february, again in march and again last week (june 4 ). I spoke with I believe the service manager the last two times. Both these times I recall leaving all pertinent information. This process is taking too long. I was told ford has not sent the replacement devices. But I was also asked where I bought this vehicle. That should not matter. What responsibility do ford and the dealer have to fix my vehicle quickly? I am afraid to drive it and will not have passengers. I believe ford is being negligent in their efforts to protect me and my family.

I have received multiple notices from ford about the recall for the airbag and that parts are now available. When I contact a local dealer, they say, parts are not available and they have no idea when the parts will be available. This has been going on now for years. They are acknowledging the recall, but not supplying a solution.
