Takata recall: It has been over a year since I was notified of NHTSA recall 16V-384 and am still told parts are unavailable. When will my car get fixed? I am concerned that if I have an accident, my passenger could be seriously injured! this delay is ridiculous!!

"takata recall". it is going on well over one year for the replacement of the passenger air bag and Ford still does not know when my passenger air bag will be replaced. If someone dies because of this air bag, consequences will be serious.

Takata recall, it's been almost two years since I've been able to drive my Mustang safely. First it was a recall for the driver's air bag in July 2015, then not a month after it being replaced, there's a recall on the passenger side on July 1, 2016. My wife refuses to ride in it, so we had to buy another car for her. We live in cape canaveral, Florida and we purchased the convertible to have enjoy it down here. I written to Ford and they simply replied that they'll send me a written notice via mail when the replacement bag is available. This is ridiculous! can you do anything to expedite the process? updated 09/25/2017

I was involved in a serious car accident on Sunday of last week. While in the right-hand lane of interstate 95 in boynton beach, Florida, my 2008 Mustang was hit in the rear by an apparently speeding motorist. I was traveling between 55-60 mph and accelerating to achieve pace with the other cars on the highway. My car was struck in the rear, and propelled forward striking a minivan in front to me. I was pushed off the road and into the sea grape stand, and then struck one of the posts on a highway information sign. My car was totaled. (see the photo) neither airbag in the car deployed. I had received notices from Ford Motor Company that my car had takada airbags in it, and that they should be replaced. I was notified approximately one year ago that replacement parts for the driver's side air bag were available. So, I went to the auto nation Ford dealer and garage located on linton blvd, and interstate 95 in delray beach, Florida to have the bag replaced. I dropped the car off in the morning and picked it up late in the afternoon, and was told that the bag had been replaced. I have driven the car ever since with the belief that I had a non-takada functioning driver's side air bag. Neither the driver's side air bag nor the passenger side air bag deployed during the accident. However, each of the other three vehicles involved in the accident had full deployment of their air bags.it's obvious that the air bag replacement in my car by the auto nation Ford dealership was deficient and did not meet crash standards for deployment. I am requesting that your Agency investigate the replacement air bags and the installation techniques being used by Ford to replace air bags in the Ford cars being recalled for air bag replacement.
