Takata recall it has been 2 yrs since the recall and still have not had the issue fixed, when i check says not remedy yet and receive a letter saying to not let any one ride in front in passenger side. Really what is the point of having a 5 passenger car and no one can sit in front. Ford needs to make things right or should disconnect the air bags till the problem can be fixed.
