Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
RE: Safety Recall Notice 21S12 / the federal safety agency Recall 21V‑158 ISSUE: "In the event of a crash that causes deployment of the driver airbag, the driver airbag inflator in your vehicle may explode." RISK: "If an airbag inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants causing serious injury or death." MY COMPLAINT: I received this notice from Ford Motor Co. in APRIL 2021. Today is May 27, 2022, and the manufacturer has failed to remedy this situation or even to contact me with a possible resolution date for this situation. My life and safety as the only driver of this vehicle is seriously at risk every time I am on the road. This is a most egregious situation and I demand immediate repair. CONCLUSION: I need to know exactly what is being done by the federal safety agency and the manufacturer to fix this problem immediately. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I did receive a letter about a year ago requesting to take my car into ford concerning the driver air bag and other things that needed to be corrected as well. All the recall work was completed except for the air bags. We were told that they did not have the parts needed in stock that we would be notified. As of today plantation ford has reached out to us, nor has ford motor company. The only reason why this came to mind was that we had an hit and run yesterday, and the airs bags did not work. * (recall related incident) ts
Takata recall. I had previously been informed by ford that there was a problem with front passenger airbag and they would be replaced. Recently I received another letter about the recall ( 16s26 ). In this letter dated dec. 2017, it states the issue with the airbags and tells me that as of today there is no solution. They go on to say that parts for "certain vehicles" will be available in the spring. Next it tells me to "do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat". As I read this letter my car is #1 not useable. #2 it has a condition that makes it unsellable. #3 there is no provision or responsibility from ford to solve the issue.
I have been aware of this recall for several years now, but my dealership still does not have the replacement part for my car. How dangerous is it for me to drive? Your recall notice is urgent, yet my dealership seems to be taking its time fixing this repair.
