I took my 2007 Ford Fusion to the haldeman Ford dealership in allentown, pa in response to NHTSA recall 19V-001. When the recall repair was completed, I was told by the service manager (victort) that although a new air bag inflator was installed, the air bag still would not inflate because the warning light on the dashboard would not go out. I was told that as long as the warning light was on the air bag would not inflate. I was told I would need to spend over $1200 to repair a rod underneath the seat that controlled this function. Without the repair of this rod, the air bag would not inflate in an accident, leaving me without airbag protection. Since this repair was not included in the recall, the repair would only be completed if I paid them the over $1200 repair cost. I was charged $110 for the diagnostic they performed to confirm that this, in fact, was the problem. I was told there was nothing further could be done at the dealer- ship to resolve the fact that the airbag would not be made functional unless I paid them over $1200. I asked for a telephone number to report this to Ford. I called Ford only to be told that the haldeman dealership had the right to charge me $110 for the diagnostic since they need to definitely determine the cause of the activation of the warning light. I presume that since they charged me to do the diagnostic test they will stand behind the results of that diagnostic test. I was also told by the Ford representative that the problem that was causing the problem was not covered by the recall, so that if I wanted the air bag to inflate I would need to pay the $1200 repair fee. I told him the technicality of what the recall included wouldn't matter if someone were killed in an accident. He kept repeating the company line that the $1200 repair was a separate issue that was not included in the recall. He then hung up on me. Please help!

"takata recall"my car was involved in a fender bender with the air bag not deploying, prior to that the check airbag light remained on. The marlow auto body collision center located in oxon hill Maryland did try to look at it as to why I did not turn off, they even replaced the fuse, however I received a letter in the mail informing me there was a recall. I have contacted and tried to bring the vehicle into Ford located in camp springs Maryland on several occasions and they stated they never received the part and they were unable to accommodate my repair. I have since went back to marlow auto body this year 2018 for help but they stated I should contact the nhts to complain.

Takata recall - I have phoned the local Ford dealer several times regarding the recall for my 2007 Ford Fusion & there is no parts available to fix the recall. It has been about 2 years now & still no parts available. When I went to file a claim today on the website www.autobirbagsettlement.com, as this is the deadline to file claim for class action, it tells me I am not eligible to file a claim, although it shows my vehicle is affected.

Takata I was in a accident in July of 2018 my air bags didn't deploy and I and two other people we're hurt. We all we're taking to the hospital, I suffered from muscle strain and cervical sprain. I work in production and the pills nor the shoots helped. I was in a lot of pain when I return to the job. I ended up quiting because of the pain. I changed my job and since I still have difficulty's when it's swollen with sharp pain. I'm very scary to drive my vehicle since the accident..
