TAKATA RECALL

Air Bags
Takata recall- has been in effect since june 2016 and nothing has been done to correct the problem. When we check the status of the recall on line it always states that there is no corrective action to be taken at this time. The passenger side airbag was literally popping out of the dash and we had to take it to the dealer to have it repaired at our own expense since there was no recall correction.

I received a recall notice i contacted my dealer and it seems that it will be months before this is resolved. Now that i know, i am uncomfortable with driving my car and would like a rental until this issue is remedied. My dealer (sorens ford - brookfield, wi) indicated that they would not be able to authorize a rental until the parts come in for the repair. Is there any other recourse that i may have??

Takata inflators received recall notice in march. Called dealership and they said no air bags are available. The ford dealership said they did not know when they would receive the airbags. This put myself and my family at risk of death if we have an accident. Ford has enough money to fix the issue without takata. Ford needs to step up and support their customers safety.
