My car has not been repaired. I keep getting the same excuse, "the parts are not in"!!1 no matter which Ford dealership that I conctact they all say that the parts have not been distrubuted for the repairs. This has been since January 2016 (almost 3 yrs)... this is a serious safety issue and I need it fixed asap.... the passenger frontal airbag inflator could explode if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the frontal airbags are designed to deploy. Safety risk: The passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the supplemental frontal airbags are designed to deploy... please contact me for repairs
Takata recall - there is no remedy for this issue at this time and I would like this issue resolved. I have been waiting for 2 years for my car to get fixed. That is too long. Using a rental car in lieu of fixing my car does not work for me. I fear for my life and for the life of any passengers in the car. Ford should replace my car with a similar vehicle that doesn't have this problem. To date the airbags have not been used nor have they failed.

Received 5 notices regarding airbag safety problems (first dated July 2016 second dated December 2017, third dated June 2018 and final one dated August 2018) I called a Ford dealer in my area in September 2018 and was informed them of the dmv notice. Was told that the dmv don't decide these matters we do and said I should get a notice within 2 to 3 weeks. Well it's now November and no notice. Since we only have this car we continue to drive it. We have no other form of transportation. I have been very worried about driving this car but have no other options. Any help would be welcome. Thank you

We took it to the dealership twice now for different mechanical reasons and they told us that it had the recall. However, they don't have the replacement parts for it. Can you please provide a wavier or something so we can ship our car? I live in otterberg germany.
Takata recall I am not receiving any useful information in when the airbag will be replaced, probably never and they hope I junk the car and have to buy a new one. Received class action settlement notice now that seems to be a creative way out for Ford takata stake holders. All I am asking for is a true date when will the air bag be replaced. The date provided spring 2018 has long passed.
