I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL IN JULY 2016; NEARLY 2 1/2 YEARS LATER NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE

TOOK CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES WOULD SCRUB WHEN STOPPING. DEALER REPLACED WHEEL SENSOR AND TOLD US THAT BRAKE BOOSTER WAS BAD, SO WE AGREED TO REPLACEMENT. AFTER REPAIRS, WITH NEW BRAKE BOOSTER THE BRAKES SOMETIMES ARE REAL HARD TO PUSH AND DO NOT STOP THE CAR CORRECTLY. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. IT SEEMS TO BE RE-OCCURRING AND SHORT-LIVED WHEN IT HAPPENS, BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AT THE WRONG TIME. DEALER ALSO SUGGESTED NEW PADS WHICH HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED???

TAKATA RECALL, STILL WAITING ON REPAIR FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, RECALL STARTED MARCH 2017? CAMPBELL FORD IN NILES MI. SAID NO LOANER CARS AVAILIABLE? I CALLED ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP THAT TOOK DOWN VIN NUMBER AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILIABLE, STILL WAITING?

TAKATA RECALL. I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE IN JUNE 2016 OF THE RECALL. ANOTHER NOTICE WAS SENT IN DECEMBER 2017 INDICATING PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. ANOTHER LETTER WAS SENT EARLIER THIS YEAR, STILL NO PARTS. OVER 2 YEARS IS NOT TIMELY IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LOUISIANA OMV ABOUT AIRBAG RECALLS IN AUGUST 2018. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT IN STOCK AND THAT THERE ARE THREE OTHER RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. OVER THE PAST MONTH THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO STATE THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT IN. NOW THAT A MAN TOOK THE VEHICLE ALL OF SUDDEN THEY RECEIVED THE PARTS IN THREE DAYS. HOWEVER, NOW THEY ARE STATING THAT THEY ARE ONLY REPLACING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND NOT ALL AIRBAGS AS REPORTED ON THE RECALL FROM LA OMV. WHAT SHOULD I DO? MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND TRAVELS FOR SCHOOL I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING. IF ALL AIRBAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SHRAPNEL TWO MONTHS AGO HOW IS IT NOW ONLY ONE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED?
