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?
Started my car up and it said power steering failed..I cut the car off and waited then it went off...as I was headed to work the airbag light came on for the passenger side..I pulled into the store turned the car off a while and started it back up the light went off before leaving work the power steering message popped back up I once again turned off the car for a while...I manage to make it home but a mile from my house the airbag light once again came on.. Please check into this..I love my life and the life of my loved ones driving like this is very dangerous and this is my only means of transportation.
Shortly having the airbag replaced under recall, the airbag warning light became illuminated. The dealer said is was not related to the recall work and the system was showing fault codes for the crash sensor, deployment, and pretty much every circuit.
Airbags have been out of service for at least two years (warning airbag light on dash) . Passenger airbag replaced under recall about one year ago. Ford tech told me passenger sensor faulty . Feel at risk whenever I drive . In the process of repairing . Just the sensor costs $250
