I have been notified by Ford Motor Company several times about the recalls on my vehicle. One recall is for airbags. I went to the closest dealership new my small town and thought they issued the fix, only to learn later that they just disconnect the airbag light. The second recall is for the brakes, I have been calling since January of 2021 to request a service date only to be told they have no knowledge of the recall. On march 30,2021 I finally got a service date and express to the representative on the phone to assure that she knew it was for the break recall 19S54, she assured me the knew. I took off work that morning for by service appointment only to be told that they did not have the equipment to fix the issue. I was told to call other dealerships and turned away. I called 4 surrounding dealerships with in a 50 mile radius only to be told no one can perform the procedure. I then called ford Customer Relationship Center for assistance. She called one other dealership that said they could not fix the issue as well. April 2020 I receive a letter from Ford Motor Company saying Parts are now available to repair you vehicle. Called dealership 5/17/2021 they still cannot fix issue nor have any information on who can. HELP! Ford Motor Company, How can I get the recalls fix if none of your dealerships in my area are capable of repairing them?

Passenger side air bag is in dashboard. Cover on air bag is lifting up. Took it into dealership. They said that happens because of the heat and that unless the air bag light goes on the air bag itself is ok. They would have to replace the entire dashboard at a cost of over $2000.00. Noticed it in 2014 for the first time. A year later and it is getting worse with more of the cover buckling up. Had the car back at the dealership for oil change and asked service dept. Manager about it again. He said it's not a big deal - he's seen it before. Just needs some glue but they won't repair it. Called around to various vinyl repair and car repair places. No one will touch it because it's by the air bag. We live in northeast ohio - not a warm state like florida. This shouldn't be happening and if it is just the cover then why won't the dealership fix it with whatever glue was used when they manufactured the car? I don't want to risk the airbag deploying. I googled this problem and there are other people out there with the same issue in the 2007 and the 2008 milan but no one has responded to their questions of how to repair it. Updated 09/09/15*lj

My car was sitting for a month in my driveway. I just got back from vacation. Next day I was going to work, my air bag light came on. I was not sure if it was safe for me to drive to work. Right away I called my garage and they told me that I should bring it in to get it inspected. Upon inspection they realized that the sensor under my passengers seat was malfunctioning. They gave me the exact name of the problem. Its a b2290 occupant classification system status, front passenger side. The problem is that I'm the only one that drives that car and rarely does somebody sit in the passenger seat. Something needs to be done with this problem. I m not the first one to have this same problem. My garage fixed the problem. But I believe that this should be posted on the recalls for this type of car. This is a serious safety hazard concern.
