TAKATA RECALL - I'M FILING A COMPLAINT WITH HOW DISORGANIZED THE TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN. FORD NOTIFIED ME IN DECEMBER 2017 THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED.

THEY TOLD ME PARTS WERE AVAILABLE BUT MY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING ON PARTS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY, IT'S NOW MARCH. I'M TIRED OF SEEING NOTICES THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY TO HAVE MY DEALER TELL ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.
