Ford is delaying the repairs on this car. They will not give me a date when this will be done and I want to give this car to my nephew but am afraid for his safety. Please make Ford do the responsible thing.

Received a recall notice in July 2015 for the air bags in my 2011 Ford Mustang. I called the dealer a few days after receiving the letter to see when I should bring in the car for repair. I was told they would call me when to bring in the car. Waited 3 months and called again, I was told to wait for their call, "so don't bother us again". I waited again and then called Ford, they sent me back to the dealer. Called the dealer again and was told to stop bothering them, they will call me if or when they feel like it. Ford co. And their dealer don't care if I get a face of metal pieces but I do. Isn't there some way to hold them responsible for selling me an unsafe car.

Takata inflators; I was advised by Ford in writing on July 2015 and it stated I would be advised when to take it to a dealer to have it replaced. Nothing since then. I am concerned about my safely. How long do they have?
Takata recall almost 12 months have elapsed since I became aware of the recall for my car through national news media.. I have never been contacted by Ford Motor Company even though I bought the car new. I have asked my preferred Ford dealer when they will implement this recall. The last occasion was recently when I had my car serviced on 4/6/2016 and I was advised that there are no replacement parts available so far but it is expected to implement the recall "later this year". this situation puts my family and my passengers at risk of injury or worse and Ford Motor Company have not resolved this in almost 12 months. This is irresponsible in the extreme and should not be allowed to continue. Owners should now be given a safe, replacement vehicle until the recall is carried out. My local tv news channel (channel 13 las vegas) last night again recommended vehicle owners to check out possible recalls and accordingly I have researched the internet to check if there is any further progress on my Ford. There is nothing new and so I feel fully justified in lodging this complaint with yourselves. As at today's date. ( last November I contemplated replacing my car with a Chevrolet. Camaro. The GM dealer said that he was hesitant to take a Ford Mustang in part exchange because of the risk of air bag failure and the fact that checks were not being done. He pointed out that as a result other dealers were factoring in this situation and in consequence part-exchange values were now lowered.).

Takata recall: I was informed of the recall in July 2015 when I received a letter in the mail. I have yet to hear back from them that the parts are in to get the air bag fixed and it's almost February 2016. I've read that there have been 10 deaths related to this recall and other injuries associated with the issue. I drive a lot for work and my area just recently got nearly 3 feet of snow. I'm already feeling unsafe driving my car in the snow but this issue on top of it is really making me upset. I love my car and continue to make monthly payments on it that I'm becoming less and less excited to make knowing that every time I hop in my car to go somewhere, there's a chance of me dying from shards of metal being ejected out of my airbag at me. I'd feel so much safer knowing that I was driving a safe rental car until the parts come in to fix my airbag issue. Unfortunately, I've spoken to both takata and Ford today and both companies deny giving me a rental car until those parts (which are on back order) come in. I don't understand how such a big company can create such a potentially fatal problem and not take every measure to keep the consumer's best interest at heart. I've invested in my car and I'm now at a higher risk of fatality by driving it. Airbags are supposed to provide safety, not create more harm. Takata really needs to step up and make things right with the consumers, and if they're not willing to then Ford needs to. At this point, I'm ready to sell my car and get a bicycle to avoid both companies, unfortunately weather and my commute don't allow for that.
Takata inflators: Basically my complaint is simply that Ford has been notified of this potentially deadly defect and has not repaired a single defective airbag since that time. I have repeatedly been attempting to get Ford to repair the defect since they sold me the car in August (when they promised they could fix it asap), but I'm being told that Ford doesn't even have any parts made to fix it yet. I would deeply appreciate it if you could look into what sort of timeline was promised by Ford and whether they are making every effort to get this potential deathly issue fixed as soon as possible. Thank you,
