Takata recall - been waiting for a passenger airbag replacement since mid-2016. Last letter of December 2017 states 'do not let anyone sit in the front passenger seat'. parts have been delayed, they say. May have parts for some vehicles in late spring 2018. Somebody needs to ensure dealers make loaners available in the meantime.
Takata recall. Waiting for years, remedy still not available. I would think that at the very least the existing air bag should be inactivated. Is this possible?

Our dealer is unable to locate replacement takata airbag inflators. For this vehicle. Apparently a remedy is "not yet available". driving this vehicle is like driving with a potential loaded cannon pointed at you. This is unacceptable and should be a priority for Ford to fix -- even if they have to make these bag inflators themselves.
Although a recall notice was received, I took truck to the dealership, team Ford in steubenville, Ohio and they told me they could not replace the inflator. The truck has 1500 miles on it and has been kept in a garage for the past 6 years. Is it safe to drive with a passenger in the car and how would I be able to get the inflator replaced? I am planning to move the truck to Florida with someone riding in the passenger seat. Please advise what I need to do to have the manufacturer take action. Thank you.

Takata recall. Received 1st recall July 2017 for passenger airbag. Have repeatedly tried to get Ford to fix the problem with no sucess and also told the problem is only in high humidiy areas. December 2017 received another recall for the same problem except now am advised not to have any passengers ride in the truck. Today I heard of another fatality but in a 2006 Ranger with only 1 week's production told not to drive these specific trucks. This flys in the face of common sense. Ford should be required to sequester all affected Ranger and provide free loaners or equitable repurchase. I now have a Ranger with less than 50,000 that I am fearfull to use; your Agency should demand this!

Takata recall -- we received a letter that there was a recall on our truck for the passenger airbag. My husband took the vehicle to our local Ford dealership (hassett Ford) Friday, January 5 to have the airbag replaced. He was told that they did not have the parts and had no idea when they would receive them. They said to call Ford directly. My husband tried the 800 number to no available.
Truck had been under recall for 1 year prior to purchase. Not informed of recall when I purchased vehicle found out when I brought in for service at 5000 miles and told it would be repaired when parts become available this was in Oct 2017. Received a letter from Ford Jan.2018 not to have a passenger in truck until air bag is replaced and parts would not be available until spring of 2018. I have to take a passenger in the vehicle or it is worthless to me dealership says they can't deactivate the air bag and will not provide a loaner vehicle. Why won't you allow Ford to deactivate defective safety equipment that can potentially cause death. I have no choice but to continue to use the vehicle and take a passenger at times it would be safer if the airbag was deactivated and I can not afford to buy a truck to use in the meantime or to rent one and let mine rot in the driveway. 2 years for repair of a safety issue is ridiculous and the burden should not be placed on the consumer because a supplier of safety equipment manufactured faulty equipment.
Takata inflators. Despite my being notified that Ford would replace airbag(s) through my local dealership, and despite my repeated calls to my local dealership, where I bought the vehicle, there has been zero response. Dealership says it has been waiting for parts, ie, defective airbag replacements, since last quarter, which is when Ford apparently told dealership they would get them. Dealership has not gotten any airbag replacements for my Ranger. People have died. People are continuing to die. This is unacceptable. This airbag that is killing people must be fixed by Ford asap.
