TAKATA RECALL I HAVE PUT IN NUMEROUS CALLS TO FORD TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH LONGER I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE AIRBAG TO BE REPLACE. FIRST THEY SAID BY JULY 2016. NOW THEY DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THERE JUST TO MANY TO REPLACE. SO AFTER WAITING OVER A YEAR FOR THIS AIRBAG, I DECIDED TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR SOMETHING ELSE. WAS NOTIFIED THAT I CAN NOT MAKE A TRADE WITHOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAG. I CALL FORD AGAIN. THEY STATE THEY CANT REPLACE THE AIRBAG, THEY CANT GIVE ME A REPLACEMENT CAR AND THEY CANT TAKE BACK THE CAR.. SO AS A CONSUMER IM STUCK WITH A DANGEROUS VEHICLE WITH NO HELP FROM FORD. IM FRUSTRATED AND EXHAUSTED. PLEASE HELP ME IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

TAKATA RECALL> I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON JULY 4, 2016. A PERSON TOOK A STOP SIGN AS I WAS GOING 40MPH ON A STRAIGHTAWAY STREET. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE WAS SMASHED IN. OUR VEHICLE WENT IN FOR REPAIR AND IT IS NOW READY TO GO, BUT IT'S MISSING THE AIRBAGS. OBVIOUSLY THE AUTO COLLISION CENTER CANNOT RELEASE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE AIRBAGS. NOW THEY'VE INFORMED US THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND THERE IS NO ETA ON THE PRODUCTION. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND MAY OTHER SUBSIDIARIES AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO GIVE US A DATE, NOT EVEN AN ESTIMATE OF WHEN OUR VEHICLE WILL BE READY. THIS IS SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE. WE HAVE TO GET AROUND IN ONE CAR AND IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR US. NEITHER OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, THE PERSON AT FAULTS INSURANCE COMPANY, THE BODY SHOP OR FORD CAN GET US IN A RENTAL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU TODAY FOR HELP. WE NEED TO KNOW WHEN OUR VEHICLE WILL BE READY. WE HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR 6 MONTHS AGO AND NOW WE ARE PAYING THE MONTHLY CAR NOTE PLUS INSURANCE FOR THE CAR TO JUST BE PARKED FOR WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG. PLEASE HELP...

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO SEVERAL FORD DEALERSHIPS TO GET AN UPDATE ON THE AIRBAG RECALL. THE STORY REMAINS THE SAME. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION YET TO THE PROBLEM. I FIND THIS TO BE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN THE FACT THE THERE ARE OTHER MUSTANGS PRODUCED SINCE THIS CAR HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED THAT DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURES (IE. HONDA/ACURA) HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE AIRBAGS ARE ARE AGGRESSIVELY SEEKING OUT OWNERS TO HAVE THE BAGS REPLACED AND EVEN SUGGESTING THAT SOME CARS NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL REPAIRED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT FORD IS DOING ENOUGH TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE QUICKLY.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW FOR REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE. NO PART AVAILABLE!! MY VEHICLE IS SITTING IN THE GARAGE WHILE I MAKE PAYMENTS. I AM SURE IT IS LOSING VALUE, JUST SITTING!! SHOULD I DRIVE IT? WASN'T SOMEONE JUST KILLED A WEEK AGO WITH THE FAULTY AIRBAG? WHY IS THERE NOT MORE OUTCRY ON THIS? THE RECALL WAS SUCH A BIG DEAL. FINES TO THE COMPANY FOR THE FAULTY AIRBAGS BUT WHAT DID THAT DO FOR ME? THEY GET A FINE BUT I STILL HAVE A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE. ONE YEAR NOW! OTHERS MUST BE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES. DO YOU SUGGEST I DRIVE MY VEHICLE? THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I NEED THE PART TO DO THAT.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTERS FROM FORD AND HAVE CONTACTED THEM AND CANNOT GET THE LETTER THAT APPARENTLY WENT OUT IN JULY 2015. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2013. THEY HAVE SAID THIS IS MY PROBLEM AS I MUST NOT HAVE IT REGISTERED CORRECTLY WITH MY STATES DMV. IN CONTACTING THE DMV, THEY HAVE SAID THE CAR IS AND HAS BEEN REGISTERED CORRECTLY. HOW CAN I GET FORD TO SEND ME THE LETTERS AND MAKE SURE THE FUTURE LETTERS COME TO ME. I HAVE NOT CHANGED ADDRESSES SINCE 1992.
