I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT MY 2009 FORD RANGER PASSENGER SIDE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I WENT TO WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO FIND AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE BILL TALLEY FORD, INC. 6280 MECHANICSVILLE TURNPIKE, MECHANICSVILLE (804) 746-2000. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2017. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THREE YEARS FROM NOW. MY TRUCK DID NOT GET AN AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT PART.

TAKATA RECALL STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN REPLACEMENT. FREEDOM FORD OF POUNDING MILL GIVES ONLY EXCUSES NOT APPT. FOR REPLACEMENT.

I RECEIVED A PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL FROM FORD SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. FORD STATED THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE REPAIR PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. THEY NEVER DID. RECENTLY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TK HOLDINGS INC., (REPRESENTING TAKATA CORPORATION) THAT THEY HAVE FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT MY DEALER TO GET THE REPAIR DONE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GALPIN FORD ON 11/28/1017 TO GET THE NECESSARY REPAIR. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND STATED THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. SO. I AM KNOWINGLY DRIVING AROUND WITH A DANGEROUS POTENTIALLY LETHAL ISSUE WITH NO RECOURSE. I FEEL THAT IF FORD CANNOT FIX MY TRUCK (BOUGHT NEW FROM FORD) THAT THEY SHOULD BUY THE CAR BACK FROM ME OR REPLACE THE TRUCK AS IF A LEMON LAW APPLIED. THE VALUE OF THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY LOWERED BY FORD'S NEGLIGENCE.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN MARCH OF 2017 NOTIFYING ME OF AN AIRBAG RECALL AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. IT HAS NOW BEEN 8 MONTHS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A VEHICLE WHICH HAS THESE DANGEROUS EFFECTS, GOD FORBID SOMETHING HAPPENS TO SET OFF THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG. PLEASE, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO EXPEDITE THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS RECALLED AIRBAG? SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 17S01 / NHTSA RECALL 17V-024.

TAKATA RECALL EVERY DEALERSHIP I CALL TO SCHEDULE THE REPLACEMENT NEAR TO MY HOME TELLS ME THE SAME BS, THAT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE PARTS.
