Takata recall: this recall came out more than 1 year ago and ford still does not have parts and upon calling them I was told that no one knows when they will have the parts. My truck is essentially unusable as a family vehicle because I don't want my passenger to die... My ford truck cannot be used for what I bought it for because it is unsafe and ford isn't doing anything to fix it.

Takata recall. Received recall notice in march 2017, yet ford claims no parts to fix it yet some 9 months later.
I received the federal safety agency recall number 16v384 ; manufacturer recall number 16s26. I have not heard from ford on how/when this can be rectified free of charge.
Received the recall notice in march 2017. Contacted corwin ford to schedule replacement, was told it would be a couple of weeks, but they scheduled an appointment date and when we arrived to have the air bags replaced, we were told they didn't have any in stock and wouldn't until august or september 2017. We called again in august, they said wouldn't have the replacement air bags until december 2017. We have called corwin ford at the end of november and they claim now that they don't know anything about air bag replacements or that they are even getting them. We have had to drive this vehicle for work purposes. It doesn't look like the dealer is even remotely interested in getting the air bags replaced.

Takata recall. I have been on the dealership waiting list for 6+ months. They tell me they don't expect to receive replacement parts for months. I called other dealerships who indicate it may be years, if ever, before replacement parts are available. Besides being a serious health/life-threatening issue; I asked the dealer who currently offers to buy used rangers the value of my truck; they indicate not much: they can't legally sell it in wa so they wholesale them to dealers in oregon. I need this vehicle to transport my grand children to school and other activities. This is placing their health and perhaps their lives at risk.
Takata recall, the federal safety agency recall #16v384, manufacturer recall #16s26 my ranger is in zone a (being it originated in california), as defined by paragraph 7 of the amendment to nov. 3, 2015 consent order issued to takata by the federal safety agency on may 4, 2016. Which means it's in priority groups 4-12. I have contacted the local ford dealer: barber ford in holland mi 49423 at 616‑396‑2361 with the federal safety agency recall # as well as the manufacturer recall #. They confirmed is was a valid number. But said we don't have parts to replace. To my the best of my knowledge I have never received a recall notice from ford motor company. Priority group 7 is supposed to be fixed by dec. 31, 2017 and I have never heard from ford motor co. That my vehicle is involved in the recall. I am questioning whether ford motor co is treating this vehicle in a timely manner being it originated in california.

Takata recall -- in january, 2017, I was notified that the airbags in my ford ranger have been recalled. The letter states that I will receive notice when replacement airbags are available. It has been 11 months and no one has contacted me regarding replacement. I'm concerned about the risk of injury to myself and passenger should the airbags need to deploy. It seems as if the manufacturer is not taking the recall replacement seriously. Friends are nervous to ride with me. I fear that the inaction will also decrease the truck's value.
Takata recall. Notice on recall posted june 1, 2016. How long is it going to take ford to obtain replacement airbag parts for my truck? I don't want to die from my airbag!
