Takata recall. My vehicle has an airbag inflator recall as of june 1st 2016. A vehicle with a safety feature defect is not safe to drive, and loaner vehicles are not being issued. Why am i subject to injury or possible death because of a faulty part that hasn't been replaced? My car is not safe to drive because of the takata recall, and there is not yet a remedy for the recall. It's been 15 months since the recall…

Takata recall... My daughter went to pittsburgh to attend school and uses our ford fusion. Well over a year ago, she received a recall on the airbag. She is afraid of driving in this death-trap with friends but ford - after more than a year -- still won't give her a date for the repair. The whole family is scared for her. I had a gm product that had the same problem and they were able to make the fix several months…

Passenger side, dash board air bag panel is bulging abd separating. Ford states not a recall and not covered by extended warranty. I googled the problem and it seems like hundreds of people have same issues. How is this not a recall?! Is my car safe to drive like this? Will airbag pop out for no reason? Will i work upon impact? I don't have spare money to fix (reason i bought an extended warranty). Very dissatisfied…

Takata recall. I have been trying for nearly 2 years for ford to resolve this inflator issue. I've been told multiple times the parts are not yet available. I understand this is a very large recall, but 2 years is unreasonable. I need this repaired as soon as possible.

I have received a recall but no parts have been sent to dealership. Dealership said i have to wait for a letter stating the part is in. That is wrong on all parties. If there is injury caused in my vehicle i will not rest until someone is held accountable. Takata should be making sure the parts are available there problem they need to fix it.

My dash board is separating from the air bag.. Very scary... Also my door handle is broken... I can no longer lock the front driver side door so i am never really safe in my car... I think the dash board should be a recall cause i know the ford place gets complaints all the time for it happening to people all around. It's not our fault the dash board is doing that, and there is nothing we could have done to prevent…

I'm concered with the air bag on the passenger side. The dashboard panel has lifted right on top of the air bag. I'm affraid this might be a safety concern and do not know why the dash around the air bag is warped/ rising. The dash air vents are also pushed out of place. I have grand children that ride in the car and am concerned for their safety as well as my own. *tr

Air Bags · Door
This may be a huge coincidence but immediately after being sideswiped with only passenger side view mirror damaged, the driver's side door would no longer open from the inside. We thought it was related to the impact on the passenger side but this seems to be a recurring problem with ford fusions. We have to keep the motor running, lower the window and reach out to the exterior driver door handle to open the driver…

After hitting a rough area on the road, my brake pedal went all the way to the floor. It never corrected itself. That was a few years ago and the pedal still goes to the floor every time i press the brakes. Also, the dash where the air bag is, is severely bubbled.
