Taka recall. This car has the defective takata devices, yet all i've been told for almost a year is that there is no parts/ fix available. It would seem that this is far too lomg to havea car with a deadly defect still in use?

I have had the lines bled 4 or 5 times in the last 2 years. The brakes, even after being bled are very soft and i must continually pump them to stop.

Takata recall the passenger airbag is on recall. I have contacted the dealer, turnpike ford in huntington west virginia multiple times and i keep getting told that they can not fix it, but there may be a fix for it in a few months. I have been told this for a year. I received a legal notice about the airbag and it advised me to go to the dealer. The dealer still says that there is no fix.

Passenger side airbag is affected by the takata recall. My complaint is that ford has known since june 2016 that the passenger airbag needs to be replaced, but has yet to send notification. I only became aware of the recall by researching on my own. Ford has an obligation to notify owners of a recall even if parts are not immediately available.
