Takata recall recall went out for takata passenger airbag inflator on June 1, 2016. I have since had the driver's side replaced but the passenger airbag has never been available. Ford has not had the passenger airbag replacement available since the recall. It is a danger to Transport any passengers knowing that their airbag is recalled and can cause life-threatening injury. The passenger airbag is currently disabled.

I still have not received info on when and where to get my airbag replaced. This is a safety concern and it has been over a year.
- Carson, CA, USA
It has been two years trying to get my passenger air bag replaced through "Ford of bellevue" in Washington. Their same answer has not changed through multiple phone calls over that time, saying they do not have the parts and that it is a regional shortage. This is ridiculous. Consumerreports reported in November 2017 that "NHTSA says earlier airbag shortages have largely been resolved.". that was 6 months ago and I am still waiting. I am afraid to take any passengers.

Takata recall, I received a letter from Ford Motor Company saying I could call my local dealer and schedule an appointment to repair the faulty airbag. I called crossroads Ford in South poston, Virginia and they said they could not schedule an appointment as they have no airbags. I feel I can't drive this car without replacing the airbag. Ford has lied about the replacement and should correct the information they sent.

Was notified two years ago that my passenger side air bag is under recall. Ford says there is no repair available. I want to know why not. Is the passenger not safe?
- Olathe, KS, USA
I received a notification about a recall regarding my driver's side airbag. Shortly after, I received another one stating that my passenger's side airbag needed to be replaced as well. The notification stated that if the airbag deploys, it can result in the death of the passenger. It's been over a year since I've been notified and they have yet to inform me that they can make the repair.

"takata recall" been trying to have fixed since 2016, being told not to allow anyone in passenger side. Ford dealer suuposedly did interim repair on driver side. Center cap on steering wheel has been lose, shakes and rattles upon acceleration. Airbags are deadly. Will not drive car. Fors has no permanent fix. Contacted Ford, dept. Of justice, atty general office, and wells fargo who I have car loan with. Only recvd 1 response from Ford, sent them the requested info, was promised a rental and since have not heard back. Have been deqling with wells fargo becuz I owe $9000 on loan, promised to help, waited then said it was manufacturer defect but wont refinance car or help in any way. They want me to drive a deadly vehicle, continue to pay for it and not allow anyone in passenger seat when the driver side isnt fixed either! getting help from no O E. something needs to be done. People are dying and getting hurt and Ford and takata could care less! I have all the documents and emails!

I have been waiting for a repair on my passenger side for about 3-4 years. The dealer in dumas, tx repaired the driver side but says they havent gotten the part in for the passenger side. Something is wrong here and somebody is dropping the ball. I want my Mustang repaired so I can drive it. I do not drive it as I always have passengers (grandkids) and the warning I got said not to let people sit in the passenger side of the front seat. Therefore I do not drive my Mustang. It has been parked almost 3-4 years now. What a shame! the dates I am using in this form are about...I am not sure when it was recalled at first!!!! I have since received a notice to get this fixed as the company has claimed chapter 11. How can I when the dealer cant get the part?

Takata recall. I received a letter in March 2017 telling me the passenger frontal airbag inflator needs to be replaced. I was instructed to wait for further word from Ford when I could have this done -- so far, after 10 months, I have still not heard anything.
