Takata recall - we have been unable to get the vehicle repaired by our dealer despite being notified by Ford that parts are now available for this specific vehicle and VIN (see attached notices). We have opened a case with Ford. We have been unable to use our vehicle to Transport anyone in the passenger seat for well over a year and although we have made repeated requests to our dealer, Ford of escondido, we have not gotten any satisfaction. We believe the vehicle is unsafe to drive and want to get this inflator replaced as soon as possible.

Takata recall Ford dealers have repeatedly told me, as late as 4/19/2018, recall airbag parts are "not available yet" for my Ford Ranger, despite an email received from Ford saying I need to get a recall completed and, "your front passenger side airbag inflator may violently explode in the event of a crash. When this happens metal fragments can hit the driver or passengers resulting in serious injury or death." The dealer service department told me to "call back in a few weeks."
