Takata recall -- we received a letter that there was a recall on our truck for the passenger airbag. My husband took the vehicle to our local ford dealership (hassett ford) friday, january 5 to have the airbag replaced. He was told that they did not have the parts and had no idea when they would receive them. They said to call ford directly. My husband tried the 800 number to no available.
2008 Ford Ranger airbags complaints
Page 5 of 11: complaints 101 to 130 of 295, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Truck had been under recall for 1 year prior to purchase. Not informed of recall when I purchased vehicle found out when I brought in for service at 5000 miles and told it would be repaired when parts become available this was in oct 2017. Received a letter from ford jan.2018 not to have a passenger in truck until air bag is replaced and parts would not be available until spring of 2018. I have to take a passenger in the vehicle or it is worthless to me dealership says they can't deactivate the air bag and will not provide a loaner vehicle. Why won't you allow ford to deactivate defective safety equipment that can potentially cause death. I have no choice but to continue to use the vehicle and take a passenger at times it would be safer if the airbag was deactivated and I can not afford to buy a truck to use in the meantime or to rent one and let mine rot in the driveway. 2 years for repair of a safety issue is ridiculous and the burden should not be placed on the consumer because a supplier of safety equipment manufactured faulty equipment.
Takata inflators. Despite my being notified that ford would replace airbag(s) through my local dealership, and despite my repeated calls to my local dealership, where I bought the vehicle, there has been zero response. Dealership says it has been waiting for parts, ie, defective airbag replacements, since last quarter, which is when ford apparently told dealership they would get them. Dealership has not gotten any airbag replacements for my ranger. People have died. People are continuing to die. This is unacceptable. This airbag that is killing people must be fixed by ford asap.

"takata recall" for our ford ranger has yet to be taken care of. The ford dealerships do not have a date to replace the recalled airbags by takata. We were notified in july 2016 of the recall and have called the dealership many times and they still do not have a dtae when they will replace the vehicle air bag.
Takata recall. I was notified that the passenger side airbag had been recalled in early 2017 and to date (12-23-17) the ford dealerships have been unable to replace the potentially defective part because they do not have replacement parts and do not know when they will get them.
Takata recall july 2016 I receive a letter from ford stating there is a recall on my truck and parts to fix will be available shortly. Now 18 months later I receive another letter stating parts may be available in the spring 2018. The letter states "do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat." I contacted the number in the letter and informed them I do not feel safe driving my 2008 ranger that is similar to the gentleman's truck who died after striking a cow in south carolina. I was told there is nothing ford can do. No loaner is available, and if something happened to me while driving ford would investigate and "take care of it." so if I die they write a check? How much is one human life going for these days? When will you put pressure of ford to expedite these repairs or provide loaners? I have now lost the use of half of my truck. I cannot let my children, my spouse, my pets, or even my backpack ride in my passenger seat.

Takata recall? My airbag is defective for years now and I still don't have a solution or invitation to have repaired.

"takata recall" - I received a letter dated july 2016 informing me of this recall. I have contacted the ford dealer ship several times asking when this was going to be fixed and was told that it probably never would be. I went to ford.com and did a chat with an agent that fed me canned responses that told me there were issues finding a supplier to make the parts and there was no where to escalate the issue and I would receive a letter in the mail when parts were received. I am very concerned by fords negligence in dealing with this recall. How can they send me a letter saying if I am in an accident my airbag may kill me and not do anything for a year and a half to resolve the issue. How can I get help in getting this recall completed?
