Takata recall. I am still waiting on Ford to fix the driver's side airbag. I need to be able to sell this vehicle and can not without the air bag being fixed. You can't see a car that you're told to not drive because it could kill you. At this point I believe Ford should purchase the vehicle as if I was selling to a private party, not a dealer as that is the only way I can get any money for the vehicle. It's in great shape but un-sellable specifically because Ford hasn't replaced the airbag. I believe we've been waiting a year?

Takata recall: I think I've been waiting for well over a year for the fix to this recall. I don't feel safe knowing the airbags could harm or kill me and a passenger. I would feel safer if they would deactivate the driver side airbag until the remedy is available.

Recall on passenger side airbag, Ford dealer has failed to get the part needed to fix the problem. Although they did fix the airbag on the drivers side. It's been months since I got the recall notice, and I still haven't heard from the Ford dealer in corbin ky. People are being killed because of faulty airbags, how much longer do I have to wait for Ford to fix this ?
