Have called two ford dealerships and they both say they do not even have parts to fix this and they are on back order for awhile. One even said they didnt know when they would be getting them! Sure hope no accidents for this to get things moving on this. Nothing like getting the customer concerned with nothing they can do about it!!
2004 Ford Ranger airbags complaints
Page 4 of 7: complaints 71 to 100 of 189, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Is this a critical recall or just ho-hum? Ford said repair parts were available. My dealer can't get them because they don't know parts are not available. Ford is not talking to dealers about parts availability so my dealer can't explain why they don't have the parts. Should I be driving my truck or not?
Went to jones west ford in reno, nevada to have recall repair done. We were told by the service department that ford motor company would not supply the parts to this area.

I received the letter to request a service dealer with no delay, I called to ford service dealer in randolph new jersey, they said that they don't received any parts for this recall and no information at all when they will have this part for the repair. No expected time, no call back. They don't know anything or what I have to do.
Takata recall, it has been a long time since the original recall on air bags. The news the other night stated quit driving because it could cause death. I received recall order in the mail today, call dealer, air bags removed from shelf. What am I supposed to do? I need a truck and this one has been garage kept. On fixed income cant afford to buy another.
Takata recall I just received my second recall notice from ford about the takata recall. The first one arrived over a year ago. I made an appointment to have the repair made. When I arrived at the dealer I was then told that there were parts for only half of the inflators on the truck. They would make the repair on the passenger side that they had the parts for and I would have to bring the truck back when I received notice that the parts were available. I just received a second notice saying that both inflators needed to be replaced and the parts were available. I called the dealer the next business day to schedule an appointment to only be told the parts were on back order and call back in a couple of weeks.

Takata recall I had one of the air bags recalled replaced on march 21, 2016. My dealer paperwork shows that only the passenger side was replaced at that time. Your web site using my VIN number shows the air bag replacements are complete [2]. This is not true and I would like some action on the federal safety agency to show the drivers side still needs to be replaced.
Tamara recall: I contacted jim falk's valley isle ford dealership as well as ford consumer hotline for resolutions to get my airbags replaced. I purchased the vehicle in 2005, and live on a different island to where the dealership is located. They want me to ship my only vehicle to them to fix the airbags, which could take a short amount of time leaving me car-less for roughly 2 to 3 weeks, at my expense. They will not fix or replace the airbags for me which will cost me roughly $500 - $1500 for shipping and or rental car costs, and I'll never buy another car from them again. They won't even ship a repair person over to replace it. What am I to do?
I don't know if I can get my truck fixed or not I have a light on in my 2004 ford ranger edge. And the shop told me it was going to cost me near 300.00 to fix it I told them just to wait. I live close to nashville tennessee just north of it about a few miles I'm h wonder with with your pull you could help me out. I went to town and country a few weeks ago for something else to.they think the switch that turns the passengers side off no longer works.

I believe ford has dropped the ball on their air bag recalls. I have tried numerous times to get this fixed including going to a dealer twice when they told me to and emails and phone calls to ford.
Takata recall. Have notified ford by letter twice about driver side air bag in 9/20/16 and 9/13/2017, no action. Unsafe to drive? Vehicle in like new condition, 85000 miles. When can I expect repair as ford motor continues to build new trucks and cant repair sold vehicles, lousy.
Takata recall - my son drives this vehicle and we just bought it. It is very scary to think that the air bag installed to save his life could take it. We don't have an extra car for him to drive. We would not have bought it if we knew and the dealer probably knew. My husband drives a toyota tacoma that has the same problem. I figured I'll just deal with it right away and was told that the new airbags will not be available until the end of 2017. My son is a new driver, this will make it the longest worrisome 5-6 months.
