Takata recall. I received a letter from dmv stating: Urgent safety recall immediate action required! I contacted a local Ford dealership per the instructions in the letter & was told they don't have the new air bags to install in my vehicle. Then I called the 866-436-7332 (number provided in recall letter) and was told they won't have any air bags until hopefully by the end of September

My car has been on recall since 2016. My car is not driveable due to Ford and they made me sign a form that I would not drive it or anyone else but the car needs an inspection. I called Ford motor and now they tell me it is driveable to get this done but I have a loaner from them and signed a form I could not drive it. You can clearly see where my airbag is locating the air bag plate is lifting and messing up my dash. What do I do"????????"

On several occasions I have had an ABS event, when braking and running over bumps or potholes, where the brake pedal goes to the floor and then remains very soft. I have had the lines bled 4 or 5 times in the last 2 years. The brakes, even after being bled are very soft and I must continually pump them to stop.
