TAKATA RECALL I WAS CONTACTED IN JULY 2016 ABOUT A RECALL INVOLVING MY TAKATA AIRBAGS. TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED ANY MORE INFORMATION IN REFERENCE TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND ITS BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR. I HAVE SINCE BEEN NOTIFIED THE COMPANY HAS FILLED FOR BANKRUPTCY. SO I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE THIS LEAVES ME?

SINCE RECEIVING THE NOTICE FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL, THE NORM REEVES LINCOLN IN CERRITOS, CA. CONTINUES TO INFORM ME THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THEY CHECKED THE VIN # AND DETERMINED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS AFFECTED.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL FOR 2007 MKX MARCH 2017 , WAS INSTRUCTED TO WAIT FOR A NOTIFICATION FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD FROM FORD SINCE. JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE THAT TAKATA HAS FILED CHAPTER 11. I'VE CALLED ALL MY LOCAL DEALERS AND NO REPLACEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA OF WHEN OR IF ANY PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS MY MAIN TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE AND DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR WITH THE FAULTY AIRBAGS.

WAITING FOR RECALL OF DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS SINCE JULY 2014 AIRBAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED.

THE CAR WAS NOT ON. IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF A RESIDENTIAL HOME. THE LIFT GATE WAS OPEN. THE ARM THAT LIFTS AND SUPPORTS THE LIFT GATE BROKE SUDDENLY. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION AND A LARGE PRESSURIZED SPRING (GREATER THAN 2 FEET IN LENGTH) PROPELLED FROM THE LIFT GATE ARM. THIS SPRING STRUCK A CHILD IN THE FACE WITH SO MUCH FORCE THAT IT KNOCKED HIM DOWN, WITH CUTS AND BRUISED TO THE CHILD'S FACE (NEAR THE EYES). THE FORCE OF THE SPRING ALSO CAUSED A DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER. IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, IT HAS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BODILY HARM.
