2004 FORD RANGER Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I AM STILL WAITING ON FORD TO FIX THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SELL THIS VEHICLE AND CAN NOT WITHOUT THE AIR BAG BEING FIXED. YOU CAN'T SEE A CAR THAT YOU'RE TOLD TO NOT DRIVE BECAUSE IT COULD KILL YOU. AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AS IF I WAS SELLING TO A PRIVATE PARTY, NOT A DEALER AS THAT IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET ANY MONEY FOR THE VEHICLE. IT'S IN GREAT SHAPE BUT UN-SELLABLE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE FORD HASN'T REPLACED THE AIRBAG. I BELIEVE WE'VE BEEN WAITING A YEAR?

WHEN WILL FORD REMEDY THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS? IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR FOR THE COMPANY TO MAKE THE CORRECTION. HOW LONG WILL OWNERS HAVE TO FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT?

THE PROLBEM WITH THIS TRUCK SEATING AT THE LIGHT THE SEAT SEEMS LITTLE BE HIGH CAN NOT SEE THE STREET TRAFFIC LIGHT IF YOU THE FIRST ONE, SECONDLY THE TURNING RADIUS IT IS TERRIBLE WHEN YOU TURN TO THE LEFT ONLY GOES 3/4 OF THE WAY WHILE OTHER TRUCKS CAN TURN 180 DEGREES ONE WAY IT IS FINE TO THE LEFT BUT TO THE RIGHT NOT GOOD. THIS PROBLEM SINCE WE OWN THE TRUCK.

TAKATA INFLATORS,DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED 3/7/16 AND AT THAT TIME DEALER ORDERED PASSENGER SIDE PARTS WHICH STILL HAVE NOT ARRIVED. IS THEIR A RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AND IF SO WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT TO HAVE THE PARTS AT THE DEALERSHIP ( SHAKER FORD,WATERTOWN,CT)

TAMARA RECALL. NOTHING DONE CONCERNING RECALL. IT'S ALMOST BEEN A YEAR SINCE FIRST NOTICE.

TAKATA RECALL: I THINK I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR FOR THE FIX TO THIS RECALL. I DON'T FEEL SAFE KNOWING THE AIRBAGS COULD HARM OR KILL ME AND A PASSENGER. I WOULD FEEL SAFER IF THEY WOULD DEACTIVATE THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG UNTIL THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE.

RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ,FORD DEALER HAS FAILED TO GET THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THEY DID FIX THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE ,AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE FORD DEALER IN CORBIN KY. PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED BECAUSE OF FAULTY AIRBAGS,HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR FORD TO FIX THIS ?

TAKATA RECALL,I HAVE RECEIVED LETTERS FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS TO REPLACE MY AIR BAGS, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT IN STOCK. SHOULD I CONTINUE DRIVE MY TRUCK WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE OR SHOULD THE MANUFACTURE PROVIDE ME WITH VEHICLE.
