    Takata recall still no fix on the airbag. This angers me greatly how many more people have to get hurt or killed before ford takes care of this problem. No rentals available so stuck with driving an unsafe vehicle

    Tried to brake as usual and brakes were not as responsive and needed more pressure/time to stop. Abs light came on shortly after. Ford believes that the cause is abs module and/or abs hcu (abs pump motor failure). They are unable to determine actual cause until i py $3,000 to replace each potential issue. While brakes seem to operate ok now, the car needs more time to stop. Have seen multiple complaints online w the…

    We were notified in january 2017 of the airbag recall. We have contacted our dealer every 2 to 3 month since then. On 06/08/2018 we received a letter stating that they would provide a rental car until the airbag was ready to be replaced. We are now unable to get a rental car. I transport children in the car daily and i need a safe car for them to ride in.

    Takata recall: i received a letter about the recall and that i would be contacted when parts were available. Months later i have now gotten a letter saying no parts are available so ford will provide a rental car, but when i called the dealer they said they could not do that because the recall is years long. So it seems i am just driving in a known unsafe car with no recourse

    It's been years since ford told us about the recall, and they still don't have parts available to fix it. They also won't get a rental car for us when they acknowledge that it's dangerous and that we should 'leave our car sitting' until it's fixed. How can someone leave their car sitting for years?? Ford should be required to start actually fixing these cars.
