Takata recall I have been waiting well over 2 mo. To have my air bags replaced.I am wondering if I have to wait until I potentially have an accident to have them replaced or possibly becoming a statistic. The dealer says he does not have parts in stock. Please help... thank you very much.

I received a recall notice from Ford for my 2006 Ford Ranger because of the air bag problem. Sam galloway Ford in ft. Myers fl gave me an appointment to get the drivers side replaced and the passenger side temporarily fixed so that the vehicle would be safe to drive. When I went to the appointment, they didn't have the parts so the work was not done. I asked them to deactivate the air bags so I wouldn't get killed by the air bag if it deployed and the dealer said it was illegal to deactivate them. I guess it is better to get shot by the air bags than to deactivate them. What kind of deal is this? no one knows when the parts will be in so I guess I shouldn't use my car. I just thought you should know about this.

Why is Honda motor company putting it's customers in a replacement vehicle while Ford Motor Company is not? my daughter's Honda fit was recalled because of air bags and she is in a replacement vehicle while the air bag is replaced. Ford should be required to do the same thing. I own and drive a 2006 Ford Ranger pick

Takata recall. Driver side airbag. Dealers claim no availability of parts, one says it is not even designed. Ford says they are making parts as fast as they can, will give no estimate of when they will be available. I have called them numerous times. They gave me a case number, which I gave to the dealership. Dealership says that makes no difference. Now I must drive a vehicle which could be hazardous to life.
