TAKATA INFLATORS. WHY DOES THIS PROBLEM CONTINUE TO EXIST? FORD HAS WENT SO FAR AS TO TELL MY FAMILY NOT TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS WENT ON FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND I MUST USE THIS CAR FOR OUR FAMILY CAR. WE TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY AND NEED TO USE THIS CAR. I HAVE A 2005 DODGE PICK-UP THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED IN A TIMELY FASCION. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE NHSTA WOULD ALLOW FORD TO GET AWAY WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR SO LONG SEEING AS TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE REASSURE ME AND MY FAMILY THAT WE WILL BE SAFE IN THIS CAR WHILE WAITING FOR REPAIRS. LATEST RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED FROM FORD STATED THE AIR BAGS MAY BE HERE BY THE SECOND OR THIRD QUARTED OF THIS YEAR, HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE FIREST TIME WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WERE COMING. I FEEL FORD IS STALLING ALL THE OWNERS OF THEIR PRODUCT. WOULD U PLEASE RESEARCH THIS SITUATION AND ADVISE US.

TAKATA RECALL I AM WRITING DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH BURNT/MELTED TAILLIGHT BULB/SOCKET. I NOTICED THAT MY TAILLIGHT IS BURNING OUT MUCH SOONER THAN IT SHOULD AND IT IS CAUSED BY THE SOCKET WHICH IS BURNT AND MELTED. HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

I GOT A RECALL LETTER FROM FORD IN JULY2016 THIS WAS THE FIRST LETTER. JUST GOT ANOTHER 06/14/2018 WHICH IS THE 3RD. OR 4TH. ONE SAYING THEY WILL CONTACT ME BY MAIL WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THIS IS COMPLETE [XXX] MY WIFE GOT A RECALL LETTER ON HER TOYOTA AN WAS FIXED THAT SAME WEEK AS THE LETTER. FORD IS PLAY WITH OUR LIFE'S AN YOU PEOPLE DO NOTHING ABOUT. HOW LONG MUST WE WAIT OR HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE BEFORE YOU SHOUT THEM DOWN AN MAKE THEM FIX ALL THE CARS BEFORE YOU LET THEM RESUME BUSINESS?????? THIS IS NOT MAY FIRST COMPLAINT ALSO FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEED CONTROL IN THE FORD EDGE WHICH THEY KNOW ABOUT WHICH COST ME TO HAVE FIXED. THE MECHANIC AT FORD TOLD ME ABOUT. HE SAID THAT FORD WAS SENDING EMAILS TO ALL THE MECHANIC TO WATCH FOR THIS PROBLEM AN YET NO RECALL. HOW MANY MUST DIE BEFORE OUR GOVERNMENT ACTS FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. NOT FOR BIG BUSINESS AN [XXX] ON EVERYONE ELSE. SORRY FOR MY STRONG WORDS BUT THIS IS [XXX]. AN IN MY OWN WORDS. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS A 2008 VEHICLE ITS 10 YEARS OLD .....THIS RECALL HAS BEEN YEARS AND THERE IS NO REMEDY. I DRIVE MY 81 YEAR OLD MOTHER AROUND AND AM FEARFUL FOR HER SAFEY. SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT IS NOT A SOLUTION. I WANT IT RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY, I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH. FORD SHOULD FIX IT OR REPLACE MY VEHICLE WITH A SAFE ONE.

TAKATA INFLATORS ** - 2 YEARS AND NO REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS FOR MY VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS NOW MAKES MY VEHICLE A 4 PASSENGER CAR (IF YOU SWISH 3 PEOPLE IN THE BACK SEAT). NEW AIRBAGS WERE TO BE AVAILABLE IN SPRING 2018. NOW I RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE THAT THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT WILL PROBABLY BE ANOTHER 3 TO 6 MONTHS. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET WITH HOW THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED AND LOOKS LIKE IT IS NOW TIME TO GET LEGAL ASSISTANCE. I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN PATIENT.

TAKATA RECALL CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT THE RENTAL OFFER. ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IF WOULD COST ME $255 FOR THE FIRST MONTH IF I TAKE THE RENTAL. SO I AM STILL LEFT WITHOUT A SAFE WAY TO TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK AND WITH MY 4 YR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT IT THIS IS NOT OK!
