My passenger air bag lights started coming on when on one was there. Then it started turning on the air bag light on the dash. It didn't matter what was in the seat if anything the light would come on. I have been sitting in the seat and one minute no light then the next light is on including on the dash. Doesn't matter highway city or how far you drive.

Takata recall - I received a recall notice from Ford in mid 2016 that both the driver airbag (15S21) and passenger airbag *16S26) were recalled. Ford replaced the passenger airbag but to date tells me there are no parts to replace the drivers airbag. I am told that if the bag inflates the driver could be killed. So, why can't Ford, in over a year, get replacement parts?

Takata airbag: Ford Inc has failed to resolve the passenger side airbag after nearly 18 months, despite several emails and telephone calls. Their email indicates that certain regions of the country, such as those with high temperatures and humidity are believed to have the highest risk of failure and are prioritized. I live in North central Florida -- which meets the criteria they have established but they continue to state they have no replacement airbags. In addition to the potential physical risk I am concerned that the value of the vehicle is substantially reduced if this is not corrected and requiring me to retain the vehicle until they manage to resolve the problem depreciates the worth of the vehicle at sale or trade-in.

Takata recall. Takata has declared bankruptcy (ch 11 case no. 17-11375 (bls)) and sent out postcards that states: "if your vehicle contains a defective or potentially defective airbag inflator and is under recall, contact your nearest dealership immediately to schedule a free repair." This recall has been in effect for over a year, and multiple contacts with local dealerships have led no where as they state that the parts are not yet available.
