Takata recall I got my first recall notice back in early 2016 when I lived in morgantown, West Virginia. I was told I will be contacted when the part is available. I am living in jackson, tenessee. I received a notice saying the part is still not available, and that is two and half years later. A lot of inconvenience has caused. I tried to drive the car without a passenger on the front passenger seat. Several times, when my other car broke down, I had to drive my Fusion with my wife on the passenger seat. This is a constant timing bomb if accident happens and the air bag inflates. I hope Ford will fix my airbag within 1 month, which is a reasonable time after waiting for two and half years.

Takata recall
- Poulsbo, WA, USA
I received notice well over 12 months ago and they still do not have the parts available to correct the problem. Seems like a long time to wait to fix the takata ari bag, especially if the thing could kill me if deployed!!

For at least two years now I been getting recall letters and no parts are available and if this is a recall for safety for my airbag and they have not been able to resolve the problem then they need to be held responsible for the issue. I had purchased this car new and was the only owner with low miles for years on the car. I also had a problem with the power steering box some switch that controlled the pump kept leaking and leaking and I replaced it at least once a year and it was a manufacturing part of Ford as I only serviced my car there.

Takata recalled airbag

Takata recall - I have received several letters from Ford over the years in regards to this takata recall involving the passenger side airbag inflator. However their letters always end with a statement about how the parts are not available and when they become available they will contact me. I took the car to a nearby dealer and they told me the same thing, that parts are not available and they will contact me when they are. So really, I have been waiting for parts for several years. A letter I received from Ford in December 2017 suggested that I not allow anyone to ride in the front passenger seat until the repair was made! so I feel like I am riding around in a timebomb. I had also received a letter from takata themselves several years ago, stating that my car was also under a recall for the driver side airbag inflator as well. However I do not have that letter any longer - I think it was left at a dealer when I attempted again to get the repairs made. I am seriously considering trying to get a new car, but that will be difficult for me since I am on disability with limited income. I was given a number in accordance with this recall: Safety notice 16S26 / NHTSA recall 16V-384. I was also given a case# at the dealership where I last took the car to attemp repairs: Case# cas-15045865. Since I am still waiting for parts, I am going to put the date of the oldest letter that I have in the box below that says "when did this happen".
