Takata recall I was notified of the recall several years ago and attempted to have the inflators replaced or repaired at that time. Since mercury had gone out of production, I was referred to a ford dealer, but when I contacted the nearest one (in woodbridge virginia, I was told that parts for repair of my vehicle were not yet available and I would have to wait but that , in the meantime, I should not drive my vehicle which was totally impractical since the date of arrival was unknown. I was never notified that the parts ever came. When the ford company finally notified me that parts were available about a year ago, I contacted another dealer--also in woodbridge--- but was told that I would have to wait as preference was being given to people who had decided to rent cars (for which they had to pay after 30 days). I agreed to this but, again, was never notified that my turn had come. I can only deduce that the ford motor company and/or its dealerships were not honestly attempting to make the required repairs a nd they have, therefore, never been made. Fortunately, since the mercury is my primary vehicle, I have never stopped driving it and there has been no problem. In today's washington post, I now see that the recall program is reportedly being managed by the federal safety agency, so I am bringing this situation to your attention. According to the article, the ammonium nitrate which powers the airbags can deteriorate over time. If this is so, I would think priority for repair would be given to older cars first, and since mine is now 11 years old I should have been notified to bring it in to a dealer who would promptly make the repair. I would think your agency would be aware of this problem, but if not, I would appreciate it greatly, if you would now investigate and correct the situation. Thank you

Takata recall-I have been receiving recall notices for over 1 year, however, none of the dealerships have the replacement part. In addition, I have not been able to get a rental car as the recall notice states I can obtain since all rentals for this recall are rented out along with the fact I have a teenage driver who cannot get a rental car at her age.
The dealership say they have not recieved the part to fix the car. They seem like they are making excuses to not fix the issue, it's like for them to have to fix the car is a burden to them and they will avoid at any chance.

Takata recall I have tried to have two different ford dealers in my area make the necessary repairs or replacement of my airbags after receiving notice from the manufacturer (ford) but have repeatedly received delays first on the claim that parts for my car were not yet available and, after notification from ford that they were available, that priority was being given to those who had elected to rent replacement cars---which I did not do because they would only pay for one month and I was advised that I might have to rent for many more months. The dealers cannot tell me when the needed work on my car might be made. I now suspect that they never intend to make the necessary repairs. I, therefore, urge that the federal safety agency look into this situation and advice me what to do. Thank you.
Takata recall-recall#16v384000 - it's been 2 yrs now since this recall began, my car being on the recall list, and still there are no parts to have it repaired. This is my only vehicle. This needs to be taken care of more expeditously! There's no excuse for it taking this long for parts. Each manufacturer needs to expedite this process for parts for their customer, if they want future customers! I hope there is something more the federal safety agency can do to make this happen!

Takata airbag recall
Takata recall. Safety recall notice 17s01/the federal safety agency recall 17v‑024. Received two letters from ford motor company: march 2017 & may 2018 mentioning air bag danger for front passenger side. Letter stated parts should become available during the second or third quarters of 2018. I have not been notified of part availability. Meanwhile auto is being driven. Ford is offering to pay for rental vehicle until parts are available to repair this vehicle. I have not taken advantage of this offer as yet. I have not received notification of parts availability. In fourth quarter of 2018. Have received notice of a class action settlement coming from a bankruptcy of takata. Such notice recommends repairing airbag as soon as possible. When I call the local dealership, they instruct me to wait for letter stating part availability for my vehicle. I am confused and fear parts will not become available as promised.

Takata recall: since the airbag recall I have continued contact my local dealer regarding the availability of replacement airbags. It has been recently brought to my attention that takata continues to deliver airbags to all larger dealerships nationwide. The dealership in my area have placed the order twice for a replacement but the manufactures continue to decline the order. My last check with the dealership was october 8, 2018 and I was asked to please continue checking. At my last contact I was informed to please check again in november which is drawing closer to the end of the month. My due diligence is running out and I have no complaint with my dealership and understand that takata has much work left to complete. All lives matter when it comes to remaining safe on the road during travels. The wait period needs to come to an end as it has been far to long to have issues corrected. When I received the first recall notice I did not hesitate to contact to dealer. It seems that the recall issue needs to be handled in a more efficient and effective manner. Safety is always a concern.
Takata recall - dealers state that the recall parts still aren't available. Yet they seem to still make hundreds of thousands of airbags a year, they haven't gotten to their responsibilities.
Takato recall, I have called the dealer several times to get this airbag taken care of, and I just get the run a round, saying they don't have repair parts in yet, yet I was sent a letter saying don't let anyone sit in the passenger seat, this seems like a problem to me. What can be done?
Takada inflators.I received 2 letters stating air bag defects in passenger seat.telling me to call make of car shops for repairs I called every place and no one has the part.this is extremely dangerous and noone has been able to help.when someone's dies or is servery hurt you will be held responsible.
