I received a notice on 7/16/15 that my 2005 ford ranger was affected by recall 15s22. I then received a notice on 12/7/15 that the repair parts were becoming available. I was in contact with a local ford dealer's service department, and after the repair parts arrived, I made a 2/15/16 appointment for the repairs. The name of the dealer that performed the repairs is sunset ford. On 2/15/16, the repair was made on customer number 71758, and invoice number focs185790. However, after the repair parts were installed, the airbag warning light appeared on the dash. This hadn't happened before the repair was done. Then there were e-mail communications between the dealer's service department, and a ford agent. The agent stated that this isn't the first time that this has happened, and explained that a fuse needed to be removed to de-power the system, and then returned. The service department tried, there was a battery disconnect, and a fix didn't work. A switch, or circuit, or something else isn't working. The cost to fix the new failure is $253.99, and ford won't cover it. I declined pay for this new failure, and left the dealership with an airbag dash light that initially blinks, and then stays on. This vehicle may be more unsafe to drive now, than it was when it was initially taken-in for safety repairs! 1. Did ford provide adequate training for repairs on recall 15s22? 2. Did the repairs for 15s22 create a failure for something else? 3. Is there something else that should be recalled for repairs, such as the root cause for the current condition that is causing the dash's airbag warning light to go on? 4. Is ford doing something to try to create extra business for its dealerships that's at the customer's expense? 5. When will ford, or the dealership sunset ford, get my truck's warranty-related safety defect corrected, at no expense to me?

Going on two months now since receiving notification letter from ford and still no parts to repair the passenger air bag recall 15s22 the federal safety agency recall 15v‑322. I called local dealer and also ford main office. No body has any answers except when parts are available they will send us a letter.. Seems to me they are dragging their feet complying with this recall. Anything you can do to motivate them to comply?

Approximately three weeks ago I received a recall letter from the ford motor company concerning the air bags on my 2005 ford ranger. The letter states that it is possible that injury or death may happen should the air bag deploy. Today I called ford motor company 1800-241-3673 about my concerns (should I drive this vehicle knowing that there is a safety issues?) I spoke with a a person named isabilla that was very nice , but of no help as she could not or would not say weather I should drive my vehicle or not . I then asked to speak with her supervisor she passed me on to a ( cris, badge number 63614 ) his bottom line was the parts are out of stock we will let you know when they come in ,I can't tell you weather its safe to drive your truck or not. You can take your truck to a ford service center and have them inspect it. I asked if ford would pay for the inspection he said yes and seemed to be getting anoied that I continued to ask questions. He then said that ford would would not pay for the inspection and that there was no more he could do for me . I then ask to speak to his superior he stated that he did not have a supervisor that he was the top person there and that was it . He also patched me through to parsons ford service dept to get rid of me. So now I ask what am I to do ?? Do I drive my unsafe vehicle ford says its unsafe .do I park it?? I need my vehicle.
