Called several times to have recall of airbags repaired and was told to just come in without appointment. When I arrived, they could only replace the driver airbag and reprogram module. The passenger air bag part is back ordered per Ford technicians and they do not know when they will have it. Apparently at least a 6 month wait. I have a toddler and a newborn and it concerns me that despite my efforts to have recall addressed, we still have not been able to be assisted on this completely. Concerned parent.

"takata recall". I was notified over a year ago from today, October 19 2017, about the recalls for the driver side and the passenger side airbags. I have had the drivers side replaced at my local Ford dealership, but they keep telling me there is no replacement/fix for the passenger side yet. It's been well over a year and I use this vehicle regularly with my 11 year old son in the passenger seat. I have anxiety every time I drive the vehicle and would like to let whoever needs to know that this is very unacceptable and it needs to be resolved now. Over a year for our safety is ridiculous.

"takata recall" - when does it become a "if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner" issue" I have a car that has a safe driver's side airbag, but a dangerous passenger side air bag. Aren't my passengers worthy to be safe also? why is it taking soooo long to ensure the passenger air bag won't injure or kill my passengers? NHTSA database on my VIN states the recall is there... but can't be fixed???? why ??" they were able to fix the driver's side.

Takata inflators - reference complaint no. 11006081 and no. 11006075 airbag R07eplacement - 2007 Mustang and 2008 Fusion: I found the following information on a Honda website - "the 'alpha' driver-front airbag inflators were the subject of the first takata airbag inflator recalls starting in 2008. In most cases, the previous owners of these affected vehicles did not replace the inflators under those recalls and, thus, the vehicles remain unrepaired. Now, because of the time that has passed, they are even more likely to rupture if the driver's airbag deploys in a crash. In fact, in testing done by takata, alpha inflators removed from vehicles in consistently hot and humid areas showed a rupture rate as high as 50 percent." Can I expect the same, higher percentage of kill rate, in the inflators in my 2007 Mustang and 2008 Fusion as they age, as found by Honda? I will pay to have the airbags/inflators replaced - request your office provide the correct part numbers and recommended place to have the work correctly accomplished. I did not receive a response from your office to either referenced complain, any information your office can provide is appreciated. V/R, tom

Takata recall Ford keeps harassing me with letters and emails but does not even have any airbags to complete the replacement this has been 3 years. If the company can't get the replacements they should notify the customers if they can get the replacements the next letter should be dated or when the customer can expect the recall bags to be available. If this would truly a safety issue my airbag should have been installed after the first recall notice I received. I have called several times to several dealerships and none of them have the airbags. Ford is cheating on this game

We have been trying for over a year to get these airbags replaced per your recall. We get constant reminders and every time we take the vehicle in they say they do not have the parts. We are frustrated because this recall is meaningless as the dealers cannot commit to a time frame of when the parts will come in. On the passenger airbag recall the dealers are saying Ford will not give any information on expected part availability.
