Takata recall I received a 2nd letter from ford dated april 2018 telling me that 'parts are now available to repair your vehicle'. I have contacted 3 area dealers here in no. California and none of them have parts or can estimate when they will be available. This whole scenario started over 2 years ago and is still ongoing. Ford is definitely not doing enough to solve this dilemma and playing with people's lives via a possible faulty inflator. I appreciate all that the federal safety agency has done in this matter to date, but more pressure must be put on ford to expedite this repair process.

"takata recall" we have 3 ford vehicles all on recall list and since the begining of recall. Have received notices to have repaired, when dealer contacted we placed on waiting list and with each new notice we have continued to call dealer and each time have been told parts are on order and we will be contacted when available. It has been several years now and still no fix. This last notice states again repair is available but dealer continues to stat as always they have not arrived. Now the news and the web site reccomends we do not drive the vehicles.when ask if they can be removed or deactivated while we wait for a replacement they say no. Is our only option to travel in a mobile bomb? I am very upset, today when I called if their is a way to have it disabled until a new one is available or some way it can be replaced immediatly please let us know. It should be a crime to force people to drive in unsafe vehicles

Takata recall. I first became aware of this recall when I purchased the vehicle in november 2016. I have submitted two letters to the federal safety agency to deactivate passenger-side airbag, since it is a single cab. I cannot transport anyone in the passenger seat because of this airbag, and there is no availability of replacement airbags. The letters I sent in dec 16 and oct 17 have gone unanswered. I filled out an email to the federal safety agency last week and have just gotten off the phone to the federal safety agency. I need this airbag deactivated until replacement is available. I am in touch with local ford dealer, "speedway ford' in griffin, ga 30224, but they cannot resolve the matter either.
