Need my recalls to be fixed in my vehicle
I've been getting airbag warnings from ford via mail for over a year. I made an appt at the ford svc dept in carson city nv over a year ago. I've made follow up calls but they don't have the right part & cannot / will not repair my car. All I get is paper in the mail & promises.

Notified of airbag safety recall the federal safety agency 19v‑001, safety recall notice 19s01 yet, I have attempted many times to make an appointment with planet lincoln/planet ford in humble and woodlands, tx. When they discover I need a loaner no appointment is ever made. They promise to call back when a loaner is available and never do. Ford and lincoln send me notification regularly that this needs to me taken care of. I have related the same to them. I suppose they think they won't be held responsible if something happens to my airbags, but they will. I have names, dates, and conversations documented.

I am having a really hard time getting this air bag replaced with a local dealership the only dealership in radius. Mtn view lincoln ford chattanooga, tn. This is the only vehicle I drive and I advised them I would need a loaner while this repair is being done. The first time I called with a cs representative on the phone they advised me they didn't have a part but could order it. I asked about a loaner the rep told me only the service manager can approve that and I was sent to his desk where I left a message. I didn't receive a call back. (there is a google review regarding my experience). After receiving yet another recall notice last week I dreadfully attempted to schedule an appointment to get this fixed. Which was today at 7:45, last week I expressed again the need for a loaner the guy who answered the phone advised me they had 40 loaners out but he can see what he can do. Today I arrived waited 20 mins and todd comes to my vehicle I advised them what I was there for and he stated there are no loaners but he will give me a call and update me. No one has called me.
Takara recall I received a letter from lincoln 3 years ago and nothing has been done, the value of the vehicle has decreased and I cannot sell it. They should buy back the car at the value of it 3 years ago.
Takata recall, the airbag light on the passenger side suddenly illuminated without anything triggering it while I was driving to work. It shows that the passenger airbag is off due to having some kind of weight on the seat. But there is nothing on the seat at all when the light illuminated. It is still on and stayed on. I read about the recall for the takata airbags and I read the the airbag can explode during a crash and that defeats the purpose of having an airbag. It's supposed to save lives and not take them away. I would like to get this fixed and resolved before winter comes in full effect and to avoid additional problems if an accident do occur.
Takata recall.previous report number 11048667. Received more rc notices since original complaint. Also received notice of part (s) availability. Called dealer july 2018 for appointment and have not heard back from them since.

We are continually receiving letters about not having the recall taken care of. However, we have been told that there is no loaner available or are under a long list of other owners waiting, or the parts will take a few days. I tried calling the federal safety agency hotline and both times the call was disconnected after pickup. This is all very frustrating and scary to have to drive a car with a potential fatal defect everyday and at long distances. There should be an alternative through rental car businesses or individual insurance to ensure the safety of the drivers.
