Takata recall; again why is my car deleted from the list of cars with the same year? Is there safety more important than my family? Ford intentionally installed a cheaper version of airbag inflator, knowing there was a problem. When is this democratic government going to go after these companies who violate the law? My 2005 dodge truck also is under a recall for the same thing, but there are no parts available to fix it...we want action and now< quit telling us the consumer lies< like we"ll get back to you in (2) business days.this is all b.s.....a8.

Our car has not been recalled by ford or the federal safety agency. Numerous requests over the last (2) years have not returned a response. Why is cars from the same year being considered and not ours? Is their safety more important than ours? Why are we being ignored by the establishment? This is outright discrimination..... We have spent $1200. For the passenger airbag inflator, only to find out we need the driver side inflator also for it to work. Where are the parts? Why hasn't foqrd made these parts available? They have neglected our safety..... We can not even carry our grand children in our vehicle because of this . Where's the justice in this? This same situation applies for my 2005 dodge ram pickup, again no parts available. Why don't you just replace them with takata-inflator, like we have now, if it lasts (10) more years,at least we'll be safe...does anyone in washington do their jobs anymore? Maybe it's time for new leadership, and not the democratic do nothing party...you have had (8) years, for heavens sake , get moving....
