Greenway Ford replaced my driver airbag in a timely manner, however I have contacted greenway Ford in orlando, fl several times to schedule the replacement of my passenger and side airbags. As of the last inquiry on Sept 16, 2017 hey are saying they don't have the parts. Now I see that takata is filing bankruptcy and will deny liability. I am concerned about not having these airbags replaced. Are there any other options?

Takata airbag recall 16V081- it has been more than a year since I was notified of the recall and the Ford dealership in sand city, ca. Cypress coast Ford continues to state they do not have the parts to satisfy the recall. I drive this vehicle daily and consider it a risk to my safety that the airbag has been recalled and yet there is no resolution still.

Still waiting for the part to be available for the passenger side air bag. It's been probably a year since we were notified of the defect for passenger side bag. To date, part not ready. Had the driver side bag replaced in June 2016. Do we have to sue to get the replacement installed?

Takata recall - 15S21 - NHTSA recall 15V-319 Ford dealer liccardi supposedly did this recall on 8/9/2016. I still get notices from Ford that I still need to have this recall done. I found that VIN on their recall invoice(#192789) was for a different car( 1zvh80N495133278). I notified Ford and they updated their record for my car to indicate the recall was done. I am concerned now that the recall was not actually done on my car.

Ford still has not completed the repairs for passenger side airbag. I do not feel comfortable having a front seat passenger. Why has this not been done? can I consider it safe to have a front seat passenger. This has been much too long being corrected.

Takata recall recall title: Takata non-desiccated phased stabilized ammonium nitrate (psan) passenger frontal airbag inflators NHTSA recall number: 16V384 almost one year ago my passenger airbag was recalled. It is taking too long for a remedy to become available. If a timely repair is not feasible, takata and Ford should provide monetary relief. This delay is unacceptable.

Takata recall - according to the NHTSA.gov website, "the passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the supplemental frontal airbags are designed to deploy"... since this recall was issued on 06/01/2016 and the remedy is not yet available, this problem has not been addressed in a timely manner! my wife and I are extremely concerned about the safety of our son driving this vehicle (age 22). This is especially true because we live in the houston area and there is a high level of humidity here in this environment. I want Ford to address this issue asap!
