Ford has known for several years that Ford Rangers (2010) have defective air bags. Two years ago Koons Ford in Annapolis replaced my driver's side air bag. Now my driver's side air bag needs to be replaced (now), yet Ford won't give me a date when work can be completed. Koons Ford in Annapolis says Ford told them they are not providing replacement airbags for Ford Rangers now or in the near future. Ford also told me directly "they have no idea" when Ford Ranger air bags will be replaced. This safety driving health hazard has gone on long enough. I shouldn't have to drive a car with a defective air bag year after year, after year, since ownership. Please email me back letting me know you contacted Ford and a "DATE" they will do "Legally Required Repair Work", Thank you

On 9/11/2010 we were sold a Ford Ranger that had an outstanding takata air bag recall and also had a rusted through frame and body. We took pictures and returned the truck to the dealer on 9/14/2010. The dealer will not accept the truck back and will not recall the loan even though we were not made aware of the deficiencies or the outstanding recall.

I keep receiving a recall letter for this vehicle. We took it in to our local dealer and they told us that the vehicle has been reconstructed with older parts and that part of the vehicle is a 2010 and part is a 2005. They said the airbag will not fit because that part of the vehicle is 2005. I think there are two VIN numbers of various parts of the vehicle. What should I do?

Takata airbag, I received my recall notice from Ford, I called their phone number on Dec. 10, 2018 for assistance, as we do not have a local dealership on our island in Alaska. I was forwarded to kendall Ford in anchorage. On Jan.2,2019 forwarded me to kendall Ford in wassilla ak. On Jan.4,2019 I was advised to provide my mechanic here in ketchikan the recall info, I did, and have him order the parts, I would have to pay for installation, then forward the invoice to kendall Ford in wassilla for reimbursement. Feb.26,2019 called my mechanic, he stated he had got any response. Feb.28, receved call from mechanics office, she had talked to kendall Ford in wassilla, informed no procedure in place yet for remote locations, but expected something in place within a month or so. She asked me to call her on Apr.1,2019 unless she called before that. 1apr. Called mechanics office, I was informed she had talked to kendall Ford in anchorage on Mar.29,2019. She stated that one air bag would be shipped for them to install as a trial, and that she hoped to have more info in 2-3 weeks. Apr.5,2019 I called kendall Ford in wassilla was told it should not be this hard and that the handling of the recall in remote sites had been transferred back to kendall Ford in anchorage, ak. So I am no closer to getting my truck fixed than I was in Dec> 2018. Ford is failing at this.

Takata recall. I have received two recall letters from Ford. Each time I took it to brinson Ford in athens tx and was told that even though the letter stated that the parts were available, they could not get them and they were backordered. I need to get this taken care of since my wife will nt ride as a passenger until it is fixed.

""takata recall" we have been receiving the recall notice in the mail from NHTSA now for over two years. We have been calling our local Ford dealership to get the truck scheduled for the recall and they keep telling us they do not have the part in. We were finally able to schedule an appointment on 06/08/18 at the dealership but when we showed up they said they made a mistake because they had some parts but they were all out. They told us they would schedule us as soon as they got the part in and that we were put us on a priority list. We still have not heard back from them!! Ford told us not to drive the truck because of the recall which we have not in two years!!!!! it's frustrating to have a truck that you cannot drive because we cannot get Ford to fix the airbag issue.
