Takata recall: It has been almost a year since I received a recall notice on my 2008 Ford, Fusion. If this defect can cause serious injury and or death I can't believe that this has not been addressed quicker. I am still waiting for a notice when to bring in my vehicle.

I received a recall notice I contacted my dealer and it seems that it will be months before this is resolved. Now that I know, I am uncomfortable with driving my car and would like a rental until this issue is remedied. My dealer (sorens Ford - brookfield, wi) indicated that they would not be able to authorize a rental until the parts come in for the repair. Is there any other recourse that I may have??

Takata recall this is not a new recall and all Ford will say is that they are working to get parts to fix the problem..with no idea of when this might be taken care of..this is a very dangerous situation. Nothing has happened..am I to understand that until I or my loved ones are injured that I can not even enter a complaint?

Went to worthington Ford in long beach over a year ago (exact date not sure) after getting an airbag recall letter and was told they did not have air bags replacements for my car at the time. I checked several times and still no replacement. I service my car there all the timer and they never checked about this. Other customers were there for the same recall and were told the same thing. The dealership never called me if the part was in. Still waiting. When are these airbags going to come in?

Takata recall 16S26. I was first notified about this air bag recall in July, 2016. Now it is March, 2017 and still no solution has been found. This is taking entirely to long for the seriousness of the recall. It is very important that the air bags work correctly.
