I WAS SOLD A CAR FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP IN 2016 THAT HAD AN AIRBAG RECALL. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN 2016 AND THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL HAS BEEN OUT SINCE AROUND 2014. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN WITH PEOPLE DYING FROM THIS DEFECTED AIRBAG AND SEVERELY INJURED. I ALSO HAD A WRECK IN THIS VEHICLE IN 2017 AND I AM GRATEFUL THE AIRBAG DID NOT COME BECAUSE I AM A MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN. I'VE SENT MY CAR TO FORD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL. IT WASN'T UNTIL JUNE 2018, I WAS INFORMED. THE LETTER STATED IT WAS THE SECOND NOTICE BUT IT WAS ACTUAL MY FIRST LETTER.I WAS OFFERED A RENTAL VEHICLE, THAT I AM CURRENTLY IN NOW. THEY ARE ASKING FOR ME TO RETURN THE VEHICLE BUT MY HUSBAND HAS IT IN ANOTHER STATE. HE IS CO-OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. HE DIDN'T WANT ME TO DRIVE IT AND NEITHER IS HE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN. I AM ASKING FOR AN EXTENSION ON THE RENTAL OR SOME TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY SAFETY AND TROUBLES. IVE SPENT OVER 5,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ON A CAR THAT HAD A AIRBAG RECALL WAY BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED.

TAKATA RECALL. MY EDGE IS A 2008. ALL THAT I READ ADVISED OLDER VEHICLES ARE AT A HIGHER RISK. I BELIEVE A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLES QUALIFIES AS "OLDER". I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE A SECOND PERSON WITH ME ANYWHERE UNLESS THEY SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THE LAST INFO I RECEIVED HAS SCARED ME. I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR AND I FEEL THAT IT IS BEYOND TIME THAT THIS ISSUE IS TAKEN CARE OF. YOU CAN NOT CONTACT FORD ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES THAT THEIR EMAIL HAS BEEN REMOVE BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I PAID FOR A 5 PASSENGER VEHICLE AND IT IS NOW A 4 PASSENGER BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. LOCAL FORD DEALERS HAVE PRETTY MUCH WRITTEN THE ISSUE OFF AND HONESTLY I GUESS IT IS BEYOND THEIR CONTROL TO DO ANYTHING. FORD WON'T TAKE COMPLAINTS. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ISSUE

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MY 2008 FORD EDGE. MY PROBLEM IS ARLINGTON HEIGHTS FORD IS SAYING THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX IT FOR AT LEAST A YEAR BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART. IN THE MEAN TIME, I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I DRIVE MY DAUGHTER AND NIECES AND NEPHEWS ALL THE TIME THAT HAVE TO BE IN CAR SEATS IN THE BACK SEAT, WHICH LEAVE MY 12 YEAR OLD SON IN THE FRONT SEAT. I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION TO DRIVE THE CHILDREN AROUND. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR THIS TO NOT BE FIXED FOR A YEAR. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM, AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA INFLATORS THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT. THE FIRST ONE, MADE IN DECEMBER 2017, DOES NOT SHOW UP UNDER THE COMPLAINTS SECTION, WHICH MAKES IT SEEM LIKE PERHAPS ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT RECORDED APPROPRIATELY BY THE NHTSA! THE FIRST NOTIFICATION OF THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS RECEIVED IN JULY 2016. EACH TIME I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN TOLD REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE FOR MY 2008 FORD EDGE. I SEE ON THIS SITE THAT SOME OWNERS HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER TELLING THEM NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, AS THE REASON WE PURCHASED THE FORD EDGE WAS SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH SEATS TO SAFELY TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY MEMBERS. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAGS, ACCORDING TO THE VEHICLE'S MANUAL, AND I AM TERRIFIED THE AIRBAG WILL CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURIES TO ME, MY SPOUSE, ONE OF MY CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN. IT IS TAKING A TOLL ON MY PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING WHENEVER I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR. I CANNOT SELL MY CAR THRU CARMAX OR ONE OF THE OTHER SITES, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT ACCEPT VEHICLES WITH UNADDRESSED RECALLS. AND IT WOULD BE MORALLY AND ETHICALLY WRONG TO SELL A DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE AIRBAG DEFECT. AND WHO WOULD WANT TO BUY A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE! SO I CANNOT EVEN PURCHASE A NEW SAFE VEHICLE IN WHICH TO TRANSPORT MY LOVED ONES!! THIS AIRBAG RECALL SITUATION HAS ALREADY TAKEN AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO RESOLVE; WITH NO ANTICIPATED RESOLUTION IN THE FUTURE! DOES ANYONE AT THE NHTSA HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THIS SITUATION MIGHT BE RESOLVED? THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V384 THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JUNE OF 2016. THE RECALL STATES, "THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH..." IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 2018, NEARLY 2 YEARS LATER AND FORD STATES THAT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. FORD HAS ADVISED ME TO "NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT." IT IS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE FOR ME TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS AND STILL NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS NOT BEING HANDLED IN A "TIMELY MANNER" AS REQUIRED BY THE NHTSA.

MY LARGEST COMPLAINT IS THAT MY FATHER WHO OWNS A 2008 DODGE DAKOTA GOT THE VERY SAME RECALL AND HAS HAD HIS FIXED AND REPLACED IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY VEHICLE HOWEVER SEEMS TO BE SETTING ON THE BACK BURNER AWAITING THIS FIX SINCE MY INITIAL LETTER WAS RECEIVED. IT WILL BE 2 YEARS IN JULY THAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FIX TO HAPPEN AND I REFUSE TO, OR CANNOT, PARK MY VEHICLE AS IT IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. THEREFORE MY PASSENGERS, AS WELL AS MY OWN, LIFE IS ON THE LINE BECAUSE OF THIS SERIOUS SNAFU.
