The passenger front air bag cover on the dash is lifting up on the left side and has been like this for a while. It looks a little higher. We have been trying to have this air bag fixed since the initial recall in july 2016. We are in our mid eighties and rely on this vehicle for many dr. Appointments & hospital visits for ourselves. There is no reason we have to ride around living in fear that our airbags can't be fixed. This needs to be addressed immediately!!! Please have someone contact us as soon as possible!!!we are tired of excuses from the ford company! I'm sure they knew about this issue for a long time even before the public knew. It shouldn't have to take people dying in their cars with this issue before the car companies address it!! Thank you and we appreciate anything you can do to help us get this fixed!!

Was notified by ford motor co 7 months ago that there was a safety hazard with the airbag system and I would be notified when the part would be available. Received a 2nd notice recently to contact the dealer and now the dealer says they cannot order parts until the takata (air bag manufacturer) bankruptcy is resolved, possibly in the spring of 2018. This is unacceptable!!

Takata recall: in december 2017 I received a letter from ford consumer division advising me to not let anyone sit in the passenger side seat because in case of an accident it could injure or kill them. But no fix is available at this time.
Received recall letter 2016 contacted ford dealers, no parts to repair letter said safe to drive. Contact ford customer service asked that they fix it or buy it back. Received nasty fedex letter from ford to take it up with auto better business if I had a problem. Now I receive letter from ford don't let anyone ride in passenger seat. I haven't done that since the first letter. This is a safety violation. We need a class action suit against ford.
I want to get the air bags replaced now but the ford dealership in bellevue, wa that I called said they do not have parts to replace the airbags and don't know when they can replace the airbags ... Maybe after the 1st quarter of 2018.

I have been trying to get my defective airbag replaced since I received notice of this defect which was probably over a few years ago. I've called multiple dealerships and each time I've been told that the parts are on back order. I've read what can happen if the airbag deploys (e.g., serious injury, death) and I have to drive the car every day to work, etc. I have two small children so everyday I put my life and my children's lives in jeopardy. It's a ticking time bomb, but it isn't their lives who are at stake so they don't care. To say it's completely frustrating is an understatement.
Takata inflators its been 2 years and know help from ford. Just don't let anyone ride in front passenger seat is all I'm told. So, I'm driving half a car.

Takata recall now im being told that no passengers are safe in the front seat of my car until "further notice". This car has been in the recall process for quite some time and now there is no end in sight. This new notice renders my car valueless on the open market. I cannot use it safely, I cannot sell it as it carrys with it a liability that is insurmountable
Takata recall I got a notice from ford in july 2016 and another notcie from ford in december 2017. I called dealers for the last year and no one can fix the issue because the parts are not in yet.
Takata recall nothing has happened (yet!), but I wish to formally complain about ford/mercury dragging their feet on fulfilling the demands of the airbag recall which was issued a year-and-a-half ago. They are still claiming that we (owners) will be notified by mail when the remedy/part is available, but the delay is because they have spent so much time and effort trying to weasel out of their obligation, asking (and recently being denied by) the federal safety agency for a pass, while other manufacturers like nissan and honda have been much more concerned with the safety of vehicle owners, and proactive with their recall obligations. I cannot afford a new vehicle and so I have to live with the fact that every time my family or I use this car, our very lives are at risk, because ford apparently feels their bottom line outweighs the potential cost of a few wrongful death suits.
Takata recall: we have attempted many times over the years to get service re: the takata recall on our vehicle. The dealerships have notified us each time that they are unable to get the part(s). Where can we take our car to get this resolved? I feel we're in danger and no one is helping us.
My car is part of a recall on airbags. When I check out your site, my car is on the list and a possible danger to me. However, the recall status says incomplete, and not remedy. What does that mean? I do I get my car fixed? Do I have to submit any other forms or do I call a dealer. I definitely want to make sure that my car is listed on the recall list. Is there a deadline for december 27th for me?
