    Tacata recall ;i just had a reflection on the fact that i've been driving around in a time bomb for nine years. I think of this almost every time i drive it. Not a very nice thought to have. So what's the deal are they ever going to fix my car or you people going to just let it slide. I wan't a new car. I would even take a refund. The stress of this is becoming just too much. I was sold a defective product now i…

    I received a letter about a recall on my passenger air bag about a year ago and ford has not released a replacement part yet and i am concerned about the safety of my passengers and myself due to metal fragments that could be released if the airbag is deployed.

    Takata recall air bag recall still has no available parts to perform the required safety replacement of the system. I checked much earlier this year and they had no repair parts available and this is still the case, which is unacceptable. They issued a recall and they need to get the parts to perform the needed repair/replacement of safety components. Thank you for helping us consumers get results. [xxx] information…

    Takata recall- ford does not have a remedy available for my vehicle. They sent me a letter stating to not have anyone sit in the front passenger seat due to possible injury or death. When contacting ford customer care they refused to give me a rental until a remedy is available and refuse to take responsibilty if something should happen to a passenger in my vehicle.

    Takata recall: still waiting 2 years later for airbag to be replaced. All the while noone is supposed to ride in the passenger seat? Ford should be held responsible and they should be reimbursing us for time and inconvenience. Ford needs to be pushed into taking action against takata and hopefully reach a settlement offer for customers.

    Takata recall, 2-1/2 years ago received recall notice; received 2 more since yet ford not able to install repair yet. Ford says "don't ride in front passenger seat". How long is my family to be kept out of car. Be realistic. Ford needs to make repair now now now! What kind of oversight are you maintaining? 2-1/2 years !!!!

    My car has been under a safety recall for 2 years and the front seat is unusable. Ford has no idea when they will fix this. What do i do? Drive around in a dangerous car? Do you force ford at some point to buy the cars back or give us money to compensate - i am at a loss as to what i am supposed to do and what nhtsa does in this case. Ford essentially is doing nothing.

    Takata recall - i've had no issues so far but why is it taking so long to fix this issue??? It's been a year and a half since the recall and it still says "parts not available" to fix my car. This affects my resell value and is dangerous if i were to have an accident! I want this fixed.

    Takata inflators. Got a notice for a recall on airbags for my car. There is still no remedy to fix it and they said not to have anyone in front passenger seat. How am i supposed to drive my car with no front passengers. This is ridiculous and needs to be fixed asap or they can make my car payment or get me a new car that i can drive with my family in.

    Takata recall. The latest letter from ford dated 12/2017 stated that there was still no parts available and "do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat". How is this acceptable?!? - over 6 months since the recall and still no parts to fix it.
