Takata recall...I started getting letters from Ford addressing the recall as it pertained to my Ford in July of 2016. I have received two subsequent letters from them stating to come in immediately to get the car repaired. In both cases they told me there were no parts available to fix my truck. The latest letter, April 2018 again said that parts were available and to bring my truck in for repair. I have called both galpin Ford and sunrise Ford and they claim they do not have the parts and there is no eta for their arrival. In the mean ime anyone travelling in the passenger seat of my truck is in danger. Ford should be criminally and civilly liable for this situation. Their website states they do not offer loaner cars relating to this recall

Ford mailed me "safety recall notice 17S01 / NHTSA recall 17V-024". as of Apr 15, 2018 I have not been notified by Ford that the recall service can be performed. On my own, working through the Ford parts website, I tried to order a replacement part. They had none for my vehicle. After 13 months (my opinion of reasonable time) of waiting; I'm wondering if the defective airbag system could be deactivated, giving the driver and a passenger the benefit of at least a seatbelt without the fear of shrapnel until the airbag function could be safely restored.

My brother brought this vehicle new and left it to me when he pass away a few years ago. Right after that he got a notice in the mail that the passenger airbag was faulty and is being recalled to fix this problem. I have tried to get it replaced but Ford Motor Co. Just keeps giving me the run around by saying the part has not come in yet. Its been three years since my brother got this notice. I have called them several times. Same response each time. Don, T have the part in. This vehicle has not been in an accident, but I have a son who does ride with me from time to time. What can I do to have this taken care of by the Ford Motor Co.? the month date and year I will fill that in when he first got the recall notice for if I don, T put a date in the space provided below it won, T allow me to go to next step.

Takata recall. I went to the nearest Ford dealer to see if they would fix my truck. They said that they did not have the parts to replace the air bags and that Ford would call me when they had the parts and that was back in April of 2017. I also received a card stating that they had file for chapter 11. I have done several calls to the Ford dealer in rsm to check if they have received the parts with no luck. Never received a call about the problem with the transition. On 2/28/18 I sent a letter explaining what had happen when I called Ford. As of today I have not received response to my letter. I did received another document stating that I should not have an passengers on the truck because it may cause serious injury. Ford has not even tried to contact us and let us know what they plan to do to solve this problem. So only one person can use the truck at this time.. my wife is the one that drives the truck to work since she works far and we can saves gas but I am afraid that she if she has an accident she could be seriously hurt. I have provided them with my wife phone and our home phone number so they can talk to her with any questions but no response from Ford. Thank you

Takata this has been on recall for almost 2 years without a fix and I was told takata filed chapter 11 and because I live in a low humid location (s.West) I will be one of the last to be repaired and it does not matter that I drive to high humidity location! I have to fear that I may die as a result of using my only vehicle to go to and from work etc. Totally unacceptable that there is not a fix and so many people have died. I do not want to be the next death!
