It's been a year when I received a notice about the passage airbag , I'm very displease with the turn around to replace it. What's going on. This tells me ford doesn't care about them or their families well being.
"takata recall" while driving my 2008 ford ranger, my driver side air bag deployed. No known cause, no accident, just pulling out of a parking lot. I am unsure if I was completely stopped or just pulling out to turn right. City street. Chemical burns/contusions

Takata recall. This vehicle has been under a recall for almost two years. Initially I was told that it was okay to allow a passenger to ride in that seat. That has been changed to not allow a passenger. This is too long for very limited use of my vehicle. Other people's fords have been repaired and I see where for some rangers the parts have been received. This is unacceptable and I believe the problem has been relegated to a less important position. Do something about this. I understand that there are a lot of vehicles under recall, but I am sure they're capable of creating replacements in less than two years. What's their yearly manufacturing volume?

We received a letter stating the air bags are bad in 3/2017, but we have not heard from anyone since?
Takata recall - been waiting for a passenger airbag replacement since mid-2016. Last letter of december 2017 states 'do not let anyone sit in the front passenger seat'. Parts have been delayed, they say. May have parts for some vehicles in late spring 2018. Somebody needs to ensure dealers make loaners available in the meantime.
Takata recall. Waiting for years, remedy still not available. I would think that at the very least the existing air bag should be inactivated. Is this possible?

Takata recall. Unable to get replacement in a timely manner.
Our dealer is unable to locate replacement takata airbag inflators. For this vehicle. Apparently a remedy is "not yet available". Driving this vehicle is like driving with a potential loaded cannon pointed at you. This is unacceptable and should be a priority for ford to fix -- even if they have to make these bag inflators themselves.
Although a recall notice was received, I took truck to the dealership, team ford in steubenville, ohio and they told me they could not replace the inflator. The truck has 1500 miles on it and has been kept in a garage for the past 6 years. Is it safe to drive with a passenger in the car and how would I be able to get the inflator replaced? I am planning to move the truck to florida with someone riding in the passenger seat. Please advise what I need to do to have the manufacturer take action. Thank you.

Takata recall. Received 1st recall july 2017 for passenger airbag. Have repeatedly tried to get ford to fix the problem with no sucess and also told the problem is only in high humidiy areas. December 2017 received another recall for the same problem except now am advised not to have any passengers ride in the truck. Today I heard of another fatality but in a 2006 ranger with only 1 week's production told not to drive these specific trucks. This flys in the face of common sense. Ford should be required to sequester all affected rangers and provide free loaners or equitable repurchase. I now have a ranger with less than 50,000 that I am fearfull to use; your agency should demand this!
