Takata recall on ford mercury milan. In february 2017 and again may 2017 ford motor company would not tell me when my car will be repaired. Freedom ford in tazewell, va said the takata recall was a notice and not a recall. They will not furnish a vehicle until our car is repaired and this is our only car and we have two young children. The recall says "injury or death could result" it is impossible for everyone to ride in the back seat. I am worried sick for our safety. Ford motor company should be ashamed.

The dash on the front passenger side of the car is warped and sticking up. It sticks up over the door for the air bag to come out of. There is no way to put it back as it is warped.
Takata recall, we have never been contacted to have this item replaced. We received our notice on july 2016. This is a very dangerous situation and causing undue mental anguish to our family while driving this vehicle . We have not traveled far in this vehicle due to this dangerous condition. It is like driving an ied!!!! Why can't the ford motor company get this corrected? Please help in any way you can to move this process to a safe resolution. We have low miles on this vehicle and would like to have the airbags corrected so we can still utilize our vehicle to its fullest potential.

Received a recall notice 16s26 16v‑384 in july 2016 - I checked as late as today and they still have not received parts nor can they tell me when they will
Takata recall: my passenger side front seat airbag is very swollen. I have brought it to ford dealers for the past 3 or so years but they tell me it is not a recalled vehicle. I saw in a recent newspaper article that 2006-2009 mercury milan airbags now have a recall. I have not received a letter from ford as of yet. My airbag is extremely swollen and can't be pushed back down or glued in, it would have to be entirely replaced at this point according to repair shops that I have visited. It is definitely a defective piece of equipment in this car and looks to be dangerous. This car has never been in a front end collision that I am aware of.
Takata recall still no word on when the recall will be fixed, recall issued 6/1/16, notices sent 6/15/16 advising owners that they will be notified when parts are available. Still nothing
"takata recall" my question is its been over half a year since the recall, is there a solution in the near future thank you
Takata recall for my vehicle. The areas in front on the dashboard look as though the entire system beneath the material wants to fall apart. As if the dashboard is slowing deforming. Brakes when pressing the brakes while driving over rough surfaces, wet surfaces, dry surfaces, or uneven surfaces the brakes will simply "go out". The brake pedal will go all the way down to the floor. Its almost like the brakes are experiencing a strong-winded belch. The brakes will not allow the car to come to a full stop even when pressing down full force on the brakes. It takes a few moments of holding the brake pedal down as hard as possible in order for the vehicle to truly stop. On even-flat surfaces, if I'm in a situation where I need to press down on the brakes immediately, the brakes will simply "go out". The many different surfaces refer to train tracks, flat/even paved roads, wet pavement roads that are moist or wet streets that have an uneven areas, or dry surfaces. After several attempts to regain the proper function of the brakes, the function will come back. I'm forced to pull over to the side of the road and turning on the hazard lights so I can constantly "pump" the brake pedal. Every day I get behind the wheel I'm afraid for my life and others on the road with my vehicle because the vehicle is very unsafe due to the improper function of the brake system and the poor airbags. The problem with the brakes happens to me every day I leave my neighborhood. It's so unsafe to not press the brakes before leaving my neighborhood. I have to roll over the area very slowly so the brakes don't "go out". In the front of my neighborhood, there is a crosswalk and kids are always walking past the neighborhood because the high school is right across the street. I have to slowly go over the rough area, which has 2 speed bumps and brick pavement in between the two speed bumps.
Takata recall....in july 2016 I received a safety recall notice for the passenger frontal airbag inflator. To this day, I haven't heard anything from ford motor company as to solving this issue.
On my dashboard, on the passenger side, there is a hole the part of the console pushed up where I think is the airbag. Plus my brakes are not working properly. I have to pump my brakes to make a complete stop. In icy conditions, I slow down while pumping my brakes lightly. I did not received any notices by mail on recalls. I've moved to a new location about 1 1/2 years ago. No accidents yet.

Takata recall. I consider this delay inexcusable. I drive an older vehicle in a state with very hot summers...both indicators of a greater risk of airbag malfunction. Why is this taking so long?? I wrote a letter to ford motor company on 9-12-16 but still have no idea when a replacement airbag will happen.
