Takata recall it's been more than two years since the recall was issued. With a recall for something causing explosions in passenger faces remaining unresolved, this is absolutely not resolved a timely manner! I am not writing about some other incident involving the subject of the recall, but about the recall itself remaining unresolved. Do we have any other recourse? Not driving a vehicle for above two years is…

Recall notice issued june 1, 2016 and parts are still not available to replace the passenger side airbag. This is not acceptable. Is nhtsa putting any pressure on the automakers to remedy this situation? Surely if they can develop a new car and have it on the market in two years, they can have one component developed and available in two years. This delay in getting airbag components to the public is totally…

Takata recall received notice almost a year ago and a follow-up winter of 2018. Ford still does not have a solution to the front passenger airbag. In the letter received from ford it stated to not let passengers ride in the front passenger seat for their safety. I now have a sedan that cannot be used as intended and no adequate date of a resolution.

Takata recall - we have contacted 2-3 dealers and they all say they will follow up when the airbag can be replaced but no one has called. This recall originated in january 2017, so it's been nearly 18 months now. I don't feel safe having the defective airbag in my car and they have done nothing about replacing it or contacting me with an update about when it can be repaired.

The dashboard in my vehicle is defective and needs to be replaced. It is warped and impacts the function of the airbag. The warped dashboard bulges in front of the airbag compartment and prevents the airbag from sitting flush in the compartment. It is obvious that if the airbag deploys, it will not deploy properly. We have discussed this with the ford dealer and have been told it is not fords responsibility to…
