The entire dash board is lifting from its original form. The storage/glove compartment won't even open anymore due to the dashboard lifting. My a.C. has now stop working and when I took it in for service I was told it could be part of the air bag issue. The vent that is located towards the windshield continues to fall out and now just goes right through it. The vehicle has not been in any major accident or damage in the front to trigger the bag to go off just yet. I notice this about a year and half ago. I contact Ford in el cajon, ca and they told me I would have to pay to get it diagnosed and if they can prove that it is the air bag I will get a refund but if not I'm looking at $2500 to put everything back together and potentially fixing everything else. I made numrous calls and I am still awaiting for a response

Takata recall -- I have received no information pertaining to when I can get my air bags replaced. Over several months, I have called the dealerships along with the recall line that was provided in letter from Ford. However, I continue to receive zero updates as to when these airbags may be replaced. I continue to hound local dealerships, but doesn't appear they have much information as to timing either. Hard to gift a car in good condition to my teen when air bags are under recall. Please help!

Takata recall as of 5/17/2018, both Ford dealerships that I called said that my car is not yet on the recall list. I received an mailing from tk holdings Inc. Return mail, P.O. Box 3004, monroe, wi 535566-3004 indicating that I should immediately call a dealership and schedule a free repair. Ford Motor Company and that dealerships need to step up and be made to be accountable.

Takata recall !!!!!!! the display panel warning lights come on and go off at will. Mostly when its humid outside or raining. This is including the scary airbag light, oil light, engine light. I am stuck with the car since Ford stated no one should sit in the front passenger seat. Has no value. And I pray every day it does not kill me!

Takata safety recall 18S01: I purchased the vehicle 6 months ago. I recently received the defective airbag recall notice dated Feb 2018. Today I had the vehicle appraised to see if trading it in was an option. The cash value I was quoted vs. The payoff amount is over $5,000. The availability for replacement airbags are estimated to be a year or more & priority has been given to dealerships located in the South. I can't sale the vehicle because of the defect, but I'm beyond afraid to continue driving the vehicle because of the defect. I'm disabled, recovering from a recent craniotomy & the medical facility is an hour away. I'm in need of a safe & reliable vehicle. Ford Motor Company isn't offering any compensation (timely repairs, replacements vehicle, loaners or even a partial refund to assist with the trade-in value). My auto insurance coverage can't get involved because it's a recall. Ford Motor Company has instructed dealerships not to remove the airbags because the risk is greater. I now have a vehicle that (do to no fault of my own) I've made all of 5 payments on with 42 more months of financing & interest that I'm obligated to pay that's parked because it can't be repaired in a timely manner & that can't be safely driven because of a manufacturer's pre-existing condition. What am I suppose to do with this vehicle now??
