Takata recall. This repair is taking much too long given the potentially deadly nature of this recall

Takata recall. My daughters Ford Edge received the recall letter that said the passenger air bag was recalled. The drivers was not, only the passenger. She is in college and frequently has other students in her car and I am very concerned about the safety of others or my daughter if she happens to not be driving the car and is a passenger. We have not received any information on when the passenger air bag will be replaced. It has been a very long time since we received the letter and can you please find out what is going on with this. I need the airbag replaced asap! thank you.

Takata recall. My complaint is it seems like this recall isn't being completed in a timely manner. I received the recall in July 2016, contacted Ford in October 2016 and as od December 2016 still no action. That is nearly six months. I believe that something that could rupture and send metal fragments striking occupants should not be taking this long to repair. Any information and a time line for repair would be great. Thank you for your reply. Concerned recall car owner

Tail light sockets melting causing the bulbs to blow and not work. Have had to change both sides three times now. Also the takata airbag has still not been replaced. The dealership stated they still do not have the parts to fix it. I am very concerned about both these things.

My vehicle Ford Edge model 2008, lost control as well as speed when the wrench light came to the dashboard, immediately after the airbag light lit up, I had little or no engine power to engage gear to keep up with traffic speed. My speed dropped to 40 miles or less per hour. Very dangerous situation because at that moment the odometer lighting also went off. Driving on a highway at night no one drives below 40 miles per hour, made the situation pretty grave and dangerous. The problem comes from the power train faulty sensors near the transmission need to be replaced costing over $800,00, as for the airbag I haven't received a invoice yet.
