I received a recall notice from ford motor company saying that my truck needed both air bags replaced again. My problem is the letter says the parts are available but the local dealerships can't get them and neither ford or the dealership will not provide a loaner. So I'm stuck having to drive an unsafe vehicle. Also, the dealership has a stack of people before and I called the initial dealership the very next day after receiving my notice. Isn't the something you can do to help me!! Please

There is a recall for this truck. I contacted the ford dealer where I bought it in reno nevada and they told me they would not have the parts for another month and a half. Is it safe to drive this car until then?

Takata recall I contacted my local ford dealer (oneonta ford in oneonta ny) after receiving a recall notice from ford in the mail regarding the airbag issue, and they told me that the only thing I could do is call them back on a monthly basis to see if they even get a replacement airbag because they don't know when ford sends them out. At the time of the call they did not have any replacement airbags in stock nor could they put me on some sort of list to call me when they get them back in stock. They said they had customers waiting months already. I said I didn't feel safe driving my truck with possibly deadly airbags and they offered nothing. I live in a rural area and they are the closest ford dealer. Their info is: oneonta ford, oneonta ny, phone 607‑431‑7300. I feel this is an unacceptable response to a potential deadly issue. I feel as if I was "brushed off" during the phone call.

Takata recall: not sure what a 'timely manner' for repair would be but my local ford dealer has informed me they do not have the parts and were told they would not have them until the end of february.

I got a letter about a recall on the airbags because they have killed people. I contacted the local dealer and they said they do not have the parts yet. Ford is stating in the news that we should not drive this vehicle. The dealer said they are not providing a rental and the ford hotline has hung up on me several times without allowing me to speak to a person. My son has the car to get to school and now has no way to do that. I need a repair or a rental right away.

I contacted cowles ford in woodbridge, va in april, 2017 about the airbag recall. They took down my VIN, said they would orders the parts, said it would take some time for the parts to come in and they would call me when the parts came in. I got another recall notice and called them in december, 2017. The service manager saw where they tried to order the parts before with no other information listed. He took down my VIN, said he would order the parts and would call me in about 2 weeks when they came in. He called me back and said he called in to order the airbag replacement parts and was told they would not be available until march, 2018 and for me to call back mid-march for a status. I have a voicemail where the dealership states this.
