This complaint is about the recall process on my son's Mustang. Ford sent us notice last year and nothing has been done as the dealer repeatly told they don't have the part yet. If the situation can cause injury, I would expect priority to be placed on replacement parts.

"takata recall" I am a concerned parent of two teenagers that are driving cars effected by the airbag recall. I received a letter for my sons Ford Mustang in September 2015, and for my daughters 2009 Honda CR-V March 2016. I have contacted the manufacturer Ford and Honda, and have not been given any information about when parts will be available. I feel that there is a lack of information being provided by the manufacturer, as well as specific information being provided by the NHTSA. I live in a designated high risk area, and would like to know what my options are for keeping my children safe from being killed by a malfunctioning airbag deployment.

Takata recall: Received recall letter in August 2015, called bayshore Ford in pennsville, NJ, told no parts are available and not to worry the car is safe to drive. Still not received any update; called three separate Ford dealerships on 3/28/2016: One in vineland, NJ said parts might be in 3rd quarter 2016 at the earliest one in freehold, NJ said the dealerships will be notified when parts become available, but no time frame given. Bayshore Ford in pennsville, NJ (the original selling dealership) simply says they have no idea when parts will be in and has no other information on any interim repairs that can be done in the meantime.

Takata recall. I received notice of recall on my Ford Mustang 9 to 12 months ago. The dealer tells me they don't have the part to replace the airbag. My husband and son both had the same recall on their Dodge cars and the vehicles were repaired immediately many months ago. In the mean time, I'm still waiting for parts for my car and praying I'm not in a car accident. I have great concern for my safety and the safety of my grandchildren, who frequently travel in my car. It seems absolutely wrong that my life seems to be a no concern to Ford. This "part issue" needs to be resolved. I was told not to contact the dealer again until I hear from Ford that the part is available. Please note that I'm entering todays date in "when did this happen" as a date is required to move on to next. This has been going on for months.

Takata air bag has been recalled. We were told this would be remedied by fall of 2015, and when we ask the dealership when the airbag will be replaced we are told they have no idea and not to worry, that the car is still safe to drive. Safety recall notice 15S21/NHTSA recall 15V-319. We are concerned that the car is not safe and would like to know when the air bag will in fact be replaced.
