Takata recall a couple years ago, we began noticing the passenger dash beginning to bulge and separate. When we received the notice about the recall on the airbags in certain Ford vehicles we connected the dots. Over time and with heat the bulge became bigger and parts began to separate. When we were informed that a passenger should no longer be allowed to sit in the seat while driving, it put us in a very large predicament for our family to use our only vehicle. We made do hoping that the parts would come in this spring like we were told through the mail. We continued to call our Ford dealership and after five attempts and only getting voicemails, we left messages each time with our name, question, and phone number. We have yet to have a return phone call from them and it has been months. We just want our vehicle safe to drive in so we can efficiently use it as a family and as our only means of transportation.

I just wanted to alert you that my VIN is no longer coming up as having a recall. Ford is saying in there system it still is. You might want to qa your system to make sure you are not giving out false information to people. You can use mine as an example to check why it's not showing: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall I was notified that the airbag was recalled back in 2016 and have been trying to get it replaced ever since. Each time I checked the website or called I was told "recall incomplete: Remedy not yet available". when I called, I was told that someone would contact me when the part was available via mail. The status has been "number of open recalls:1" for many months, but when I checked today, it said "0". my complaint is overall poor communication by Ford during this recall, my concern is that I now have no recourse to get the air bag replaced and my family has to drive around in a ticking time bomb.

Received recall letter prior to April 7, 2017. I've checked consistently with al white motors, manchester Tennessee where vehicle was purchases new and they continue to say parts are not available. A friend (mechanic) read the letter and ordered the part in June 2017, but was too far to drive to install. Al white motors keeps putting me off on doing this install. What should I do?

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V384000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer (North central Ford, 1819 N central expy, richardson, tx 75080, (855) 588-7660) was unable to verify when the parts would be supplied from the manufacturer. The dealer offered a loaner vehicle, but the guidelines from the manufacturer were unreasonable for the contact. The manufacturer was contacted. The contact was not experiencing a failure.

Takata recall still waiting for a replacement for the airbag. Every time I call the dealer, they say no parts are available. Was sent a notice from Ford saying not to let anyone ride in the front passenger seat. The only reason we still have this vehicle is to get my 97 year old mother to and from the doctor. That is the only seat we can get her in and out of. There is no solution. We need the airbag replaced and have been waiting since before my father passed last year.

Takata recall - I've called my local Ford dealer (spradley barr Ford) twice now regarding an airbag recall for my vehicle and both times the have said they can't do anything about it because they don't have the parts and to check back in another month or so. Why have a recall if I can't actually get my vehicle taken care of, isn't this a safety hazard?

"takata recall". it's been 2 years since being notified about the recall of defective airbags by Ford Motor Co., and no word on how soon the airbag will be fixed. The local dealership has no answers and I cannot get through to Ford's main office. This is far too long for a problem to go on with being resolved. We are not allowed to sit in the passenger from seat because of this situation and this causes stress for the family. Please help get this situation resolved. Thank you.

Called dealership about getting replacement air bag installed because of the recall letter I received. Said I needed to wait until that grouping of vehicles were to be serviced. I've been waiting over 6 months -- and still nothing. If this vehicle is unsafe because of faulty airbag, why don't they expedite the service and replacement?
