I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF RECALL INVOLVING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN JULY OF 2016. YOUR SITE SHOWS ME THAT THE REPAIR IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE, ALMOST A YEAR LATER. SO I AM DRIVING IN A CAR AND MY PASSENGER, USUALLY MY WIFE, IS NOT AS SAFE AS SHE SHOULD BE. I FIND THIS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. CAN YOU HELP REMEDY THE SITUATION?

JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR USED. 91, K MILES. BRAKES FAILED ON ME. I TURNED AROUND IN A PARKING LOT MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN AND PULLED BACK OUT ONTO THE ROAD. I WAS ONLY ABOUT 20 YARDS FROM A STOP SIGN. WHEN I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN, MY BREAKS WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WE WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, UNABLE TO STOP. I PUMPED THEM LIKE CRAZY AND WE SLOWED TO A STOP ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS FROM THE STOP SIGN.

TAKATA RECALL WAITING FOR REPAIR FOR OVER 1 YEAR - MERCURY CONTINUES TO STATE THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR A SAFETY RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAS BEEN NO UPDATE IN THE LAST YEAR SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED, REGARDING REPLACING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MY 2007 MERCURY MILAN. THE STITCHING (OR WHATEVER MATERIAL IS USED) HAS STARTED TO DISINTEGRATE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD, WHERE THE AIRBAG IS HOUSED. I'VE BEEN HOPING THE RECALL WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BEFORE NOW, SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TAKEN IN TWICE TO BE FIXED: ONCE FOR THE DETERIORATING DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND A SECOND TIME TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED WHEN THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL BECOME AVAILABLE. I'M VERY CONCERNED TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR, AND ALSO FOR THE RESALE VALUE, IF I WANTED TO SELL THE CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE STILL NOT BEING RESOLVED.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ISSUE IN FIVE MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO ABS MODULES/UNITS. I FIRST NOTICED MY BRAKES GETTING SPONGY IN LATE 2016, THAT'S WHEN THE FIRST ABS WAS REPLACED. ALTHOUGH THIS FIXED THE ISSUE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, I THEN STARTED TO NOTICE THAT MY BRAKES WERE LOCKING, WHEN NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES. I RETURNED TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHICH LEAD TO NEW COMPONENTS ON MY BRAKES(PADS FRONT AND REAR, CALIPERS ROTORS.ETC.) BECAUSE OF THE WEAR. ALL WERE REPLACED. THEN THE SITUATION HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN MY TEENAGE SON WAS DRIVING. UNDER ACCELERATION, THE BRAKES STARTED APPLYING PRESSURE, WHICH THE ENGINE HAD TO COMPENSATE FOR. AFTER TAKING IT IN TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN, THAT IS WHEN THE SECOND ABS UNIT WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS AFTER THREE DAYS OF TROUBLE-SHOOTING. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES, AND I HAVE SPENT AN EXHAUSTIVE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THIS ONE ISSUE. I CAN ONLY ASSUME ALSO, THAT BECAUSE OF BRAKING, WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING, THERE WILL BE MORE ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.

"TAKATA RECALL". FORD MOTOR COMPANY ALERTED ME IN MARCH OF THE RECALL, DANGERS, AND REASON TO WAIT...WAITING FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE. GIVEN THAT INFLATION OF THE AIRBAGS COULD KILL ONE, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT PARTS ARRIVE SOON, LIKE NOW? HOW LONG SHOULD THIS TAKE?
