Takata recall Ford has now warned us by mail that no one should sit in the front passenger seat until the repair has been made and that they will begin making repairs in NHTSA remedy order in the spring of 2018. This is unacceptable. Expecting us to not use the front passenger seat in a Mustang (which has only enough seating space in the back seat for a very small child without a car seat) is totally unacceptable. And, as we have no idea where we will fall in the remedy priority order, it could be a very long time before our repair parts are available to us and we are able to safely Transport more than one person in this vehicle. Something more has to be done. This has gone on far too long.

I was notified in June, 2016 that there was a recall of the passenger frontal airbag on my car and it was potentially dangerous to the front passenger in case of a crash. Since that time I have not allowed anyone to sit in the front passenger seat while awaiting correction of the problem. It has now been 18 months during which I have not had full use of my car and the passenger front airbag has not been replaced. This is egregious!!

Takata recall - I took my vehicle to koon's Ford on security boulevard, baltimore, md for the two airbag recalls. They replaced the driver airbag in January 2017 but advised the passenger airbag was not available, and they will contact me when it is available. I have been waiting for almost a year and when I contact them they say it is not available. I consider this a serious life/safety concern. I would appreciate some assistance to get this issue resolved.

Takata recall driver's airbag replaced on May 28, 2015. Have been waiting a year for passenger side airbag to be available. I'm afraid to drive the car with a passenger. The wait time on this is not acceptable. When will parts finally be available?
