(takata recall) I got a recall letter from ford motor company dated july 2016. The recall was for the passenger side air bag on my 2008 ford ranger. I took the truck into my dealer, metro ford, independence, mo., within a few days of receiving the recall letter. The service manager told me the parts would be available the 4th quarter of this year, sometime in oct. 2016. I called the dealer today, 10/7/16, to see if I could bring my truck in for the airbag repair, & the service manager now tells me the part may not be available until after the first of the year 2017. I am very concerned about the slowness of this repair as I must use my truck regularly to haul materials, & am very concerned about my passenger's safety. Is there a time frame within which the company is supposed to have this recall repair done? Is this vehicle safe to use as I have no other means of hauling materials?
I was told by the dealership that it was best if I park my vehicle and not drive it until the part is available. I am unable to do this because of my job. I contacted ford directly and they blew me off. When will this be fixed? 10 people have already died because of this.

I had a front end impact with a dirt embankment going between 40-45 MPH head on and the air bags did not deploy. My truck sustained around $15,000 worth of damage. They claim that my husbands passenger was not heavy enough to deploy the airbags , he weighed around 189 pds. They had to replace the airbag sensors and modules. Now when someone sits in the passengers seat it says that it is not activated. I don't feel safe in this truck any more. My husband broke his back in 2 spots and ruptured 2 disks, he had to have back surgery and I think if the airbags deployed this would not of happened.
