Purchased a car from landmark Ford in springfield Illinois on 11/5/2016. I was told all recall have been completed. Took car to my local Ford dealership to be told the 15S21 drivers airbag safety recall had not been completed. Landmark Ford was not truthful about this safety recall and put both my wife and I in danger. I feel I was taken advantage of by landmark Ford and I am in the process of filing a lawsuit against landmark Ford.

Takata recall. The car was recalled almost a year ago for the drivers side airbag. It took several months for Ford to notify me that parts were available. Once fixed (approx 3"months ago) I was told that the passenger side was also recalled but there was no fix. I tried to trade the car in about 2 weeks ago and was told that they were unable to take the car in on trade because there is still no fix and Ford would not allow the resell the car.

It's been at least a year and a half on this recall and I've gotten letters saying parts are available yet I call mcmullen Ford and they do not have them and I've gotten my Honda CRV fixed and it had only 6 months and they ordered the part to install in my vehicle specifically. Now why can't a part be held for a specific vehicle at the Ford dealership?

Takata recall 13 months to repair drivers side, had to drive to Florida to effect that repair. Passenger side over 90 days, no response, no repair. Will I have to drive to Florida again if I want this fixed before another year has passed?
