TAKATA RECALL. I KEEP GETTING THESE REMINDERS TO HAVE AIRBAGS REPLACED. ONLY PROBLEM IS MY DEALERSHIP KEEPS SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE THEM. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IN BEFORE APRIL.

I WANT THEM FIXED BUT DEALERSHIP DOESN'T SEEM TO BE IN ANY HURRY. WE RESIDE IN SAN ANTONIO, TX

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED RECALL MAR2016. CONTACTED FORD DEALER REGARDING FIX. I ASKED HIM 1. IS THE CAR SAFE TO DRIVE. HIS ANSWER WAS THE NHTSA SAID IT WAS CLEARED TO DRIVE. 2. IS IT OK TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE AFFECTED SEAT. SAME ANSWER AS IN #1. 3. WHEN WILL THE PART BECOME AVAILABLE? NO CLUE. HE ACTUALLY SAID IT COULD BE YEARS SINCE TAKATA WAS BANKRUPT AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR OTHER MANUFACTURERS TO MAKE THE PART. THE NHTSA WEBSITE STATES RECALLS ARE ISSUED WHEN EQUIPMENT CREATES AN UNREASONABLE SAFETY RISK OR FAILS TO MEET MINIMUM SAFETY STANDARDS. SINCE THE FORD DEALER STATED THAT THE NHTSA CLEARED VEHICLES UNDER THIS RECALL AS 'SAFE TO DRIVE', COULD I GET IT IN WRITING THAT MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE? I ALSO LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THE 50% INCREASE IN PROBABILITY EXISTS DUE TO TEMP AND HUMIDITY. ALSO, COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS SUBJECT TO EXPLODING AND NOT THE DRIVERS SIDE.

AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW A GEAR CHANGE FROM FIRST TO SECOND IF THE RPM IS GRATER THAN 6000 RPM. THE CLUTCH PEDDLE RELEASES AT THE FLOOR. AFTER THE ENGINE HAS SLOWED THE CLUTCH RETURNS TO NORMAL AND THE CAR CAN NOW BE SHIFTED INTO SECOND. IT MAY BE CAUSED BY TROUGH OUT BEARING OR SPRING TENSION ON THE CLUTCH ITS SELF. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR ONLY HAS 46000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMMON PROBLEM.
