Takata recall - recall from Ford Motor Company dated June 1 2016. 16+ months later and there is still no remedy for this safety recall from Ford. I don't believe this is being addressed in a "timely manner"
Takata recall - the Ford dealership claims that the parts to complete the recall have not been available for the past year and may never be available. (dealership is clinton family Ford in rock hill, SC). Never being able to fix the vehicle is not what the public is being told.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the manufacturer took over a year to initially supply the dealer with the part to replace the driver's air bag inflator. The vehicle was later repaired and, months later, the contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V384000 (air bags). The part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer (lindsay Ford of wheaton, 11250 viers mill rd, wheaton, md 20902, (888) 457-7005) did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
"takata recall" I was notified about a passenger airbag recall for my Mustang on Jun 1 2016 and to call my dealer. I called the dealer multiple times since and still there are no parts available. I cannot let anyone ride as a passenger for fear of an accident that could activate a potentially deadly situation. Help!!!!!!
Takata recall received notice from Ford in July 2016. Have followed up with the dealer on several occasions and told nothing they can do-Ford has not released the parts complained directly to Ford and was told parts are not available. Couldn't or wouldn't tell me where my car falls on the priority list nor could they tell me when I might expect to hear from them. Neither Ford nor the dealer have kept me aware of any progress. I have had to pursue all information. Also complained to the Illinois attorney general who contacted Ford and Ford responded they were awaiting parts. This was my dream car for my wife and I for retirement, and she has not been able to ride in it. I want to be prioritized for replacement part.

Takata recall: Nothing has happened (yet), but I found that there was a recall regarding the passenger side airbags, which pose a danger to any passengers in that seat and that the recall is from June 2016. This is over one year now and I contacted my Ford dealership. They informed me that they do not have the parts and that Ford has not provided a timeline for the shop in the near future for the replacement of the airbags. I am supposed to wait for a letter, when I was not even informed in June 2016. I only found out now, because we received a note in the mail that takata is restructuring / filing for bankruptcy protection and that we may need to file our claim with them by December 27, 2017. So, they are getting off the hook and Ford has no timeline. Meanwhile, we are driving an unsafe vehicle with no means to fix it ourselves.

Takata recall: On July 2016 received a notice from Ford regarding the nthsa recall 16V-384. The Ford identification number is recall notice 16S26. I checked with my Ford dealer on recall fix status on July 2017 and again on October 2017. It has been over a year that the recall was identified and there is no fix yet. I am concerned about driving anyone (specially my wife) in the passenger seat and so far I have not been able to get a fixed date from Ford. If their new cars do not have this issue, why don't Ford and takata have a fix for the old cars too ? as a side note, I am not complaining about the driver side air bag. That one Ford fixed some time ago.
"takata recall" I received an important safety recall July 2016 in reference to safety recall 16S26. The notice informed me that part 16S26 needs to be replaced, but that "parts are not currently available". the notice, therefore, stated that the Ford Motor Company would notify me via mail when parts become available. It is now October 2017 and the Ford Motor Company has not yet sent me a letter to inform me that part 16S26 is available.
Takata recall: Passenger side airbag was recalled more than a year ago and after several inquiries, Ford has not yet made a replacement part available.
Takata recall I am very dissatisfied with the extent of time that is taking to replace these parts on Ford vehicles. I know of Chrysler vehicles of equal age that have had both the driver and passenger airbag replaced, yet only the driver has been replaced in my Ford. I am in a high humidity zone and would like to get my vehicle passenger airbag replaced in a timely manner. I feel as though this issue is being greatly dismissed.

Takata recall. We received our recall letter in June of 2016 for passenger side air bag replacement. We waited a year and called Ford in July of 2017. They said that takata was out of business and they were hiring another company to make the replacement air bags. We just called again on September 29, 2017 and still no idea when it will be repaired. They also told us that we could not disable the air bag. So no one can ride in the passenger seat, unless you want to play russian roulette with your life. We waited over a year for the drivers side air bag to be replaced, so we are coming up on 3 years that we could not drive the car or had limited use because no one is able to ride on the passenger side without putting there life in danger.
