The contact stated that she could not recount what happened moments after she drove off the road; she did recall that she pulled up to a stop sign and her air bags had deployed. The police arrived at the scene and assisted the contact with moving the vehicle out of the road; a police report was not filed.

The contact owned a 2004 Ford Ranger. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V788000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted.

I dropped the vehicle off in April, Bought it off facebook marketplace in March. Since then, I have dropped the vehicle off at Big Star Ford in Pearland texas, and it has been there until today [XXX]. They FINALLy called me to tell me they cannot get parts for this 2017, or the 2023 recall that must be performed, and that I was "Free to come pick my vehicle up from them" It has been over six months with lack of communication, and me sacrificing time to complete in person visits, this is insane. I cannot believe they are still allowed to service vehicles INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

AFTER RECEIVING SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES, WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. THE ONLY APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE WAS SEVERAL MONTHS OUT.

SERVICE WRITER MICHAEL MCNALLY SAID THAT THEY WOULD ORDER PARTS AND WE WOULD NEED TO BRING VEHICLE BACK. WE EXPRESSED DISPLEASURE THAT THEY HADN'T NOTIFIED US OF A DELAY. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WOULDN'T DO THE RECALL AND WE WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. WE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER, FORD, BUT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A DENIAL OF THE RECALL.*DT*JB

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THESE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BEEN TO DEALER ON APPOINTMENTS AT LEAST 3 TIMES. THEY WILL NOT DO THE REPAIR, TELL ME IT'S BACKORDERED, NO PARTS, THEY'LL CALL ME WHEN IT'S THERE...

FORD RECALLED THE AIR BAGS TO GET FIXED ON MY TRUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE RECALL.

MY SON SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. I AM UPSET AND I WANT ANSWERS. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, ESPECIALLY IN A SAFETY MATTER.THIS OCCURRED IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAGS IN JANUARY, 2018. THIS NOTICE SAYS REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS ARE AVAILABLE. MY LOCAL FORD DEALER ORDERED REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS IN MARCH, 2018. MY DEALER HAS NOT YET RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS (AS OF 23 APRIL 2018). THIS DEALER SAYS FORD HAS FAILED TO SUPPLY REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF LOCALLY OWNED FORD PRODUCTS. FORD HAS LIED TO ME BY SAYING REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, AND HAS FAILED TO SUPPLY PARTS FOR A MANDATORY RECALL OF POTENTIALLY DEADLY PIECES OF MY VEHICLE. I URGE THE NHTSA, IN THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE TERMS, TO JOIN WITH OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES TO SANCTION FORD MOTOR COMPANY WITH HUGE MONETARY FINES AND CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST ITS EXECUTIVES, AND TO FORCE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO IMMEDIATELY PROVIDE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS FOR ALL ITS AFFECTED VEHICLES. MEANWHILE, FORCE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO FURNISH TO AFFECTED FORD VEHICLE OWNERS, FREE OF CHARGE, SIMILAR VEHICLES FOR CUSTOMER USE UNTIL FORD'S EXPLOSIVE TAKATA AIR BAGS ARE ACTUALLY REPLACED. THIS CORPORATE MALFEASANCE IS UNCONSCIONABLE. MY GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO PROTECT ME FROM THIS LONG KNOWN, POTENTIALLY DEADLY, FAULTY PRODUCT.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM STILL WAITING ON FORD TO FIX THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SELL THIS VEHICLE AND CAN NOT WITHOUT THE AIR BAG BEING FIXED. YOU CAN'T SEE A CAR THAT YOU'RE TOLD TO NOT DRIVE BECAUSE IT COULD KILL YOU. AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AS IF I WAS SELLING TO A PRIVATE PARTY, NOT A DEALER AS THAT IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET ANY MONEY FOR THE VEHICLE. IT'S IN GREAT SHAPE BUT UN-SELLABLE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE FORD HASN'T REPLACED THE AIRBAG. I BELIEVE WE'VE BEEN WAITING A YEAR?

WHEN WILL FORD REMEDY THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS? IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR FOR THE COMPANY TO MAKE THE CORRECTION. HOW LONG WILL OWNERS HAVE TO FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT?

TAMARA RECALL. NOTHING DONE CONCERNING RECALL. IT'S ALMOST BEEN A YEAR SINCE FIRST NOTICE.

TAKATA RECALL: I THINK I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR FOR THE FIX TO THIS RECALL. I DON'T FEEL SAFE KNOWING THE AIRBAGS COULD HARM OR KILL ME AND A PASSENGER. I WOULD FEEL SAFER IF THEY WOULD DEACTIVATE THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG UNTIL THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE.

RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ,FORD DEALER HAS FAILED TO GET THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THEY DID FIX THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE ,AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE FORD DEALER IN CORBIN KY. PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED BECAUSE OF FAULTY AIRBAGS,HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR FORD TO FIX THIS ?

TAKATA RECALL,I HAVE RECEIVED LETTERS FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS TO REPLACE MY AIR BAGS, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT IN STOCK. SHOULD I CONTINUE DRIVE MY TRUCK WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE OR SHOULD THE MANUFACTURE PROVIDE ME WITH VEHICLE.

I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOPPED BEHIND ONE CAR. HE STARTED OFF BUT REALIZED THAT IT WAS A GREEN TURN SIGNAL. SO HE BACKED OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AND BUMPED MY TRUCK. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO EITHER VEHICLE. HE WAS GOING ABOUT 2MPH WHEN HE IMPACTED MY TRUCK. BOTH AIRBAGS IN MY TRUCK DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE DRIVER BAG HIT ME IN THE FACE BREAKING MY CROWN. THEN IT JUST DEFLATED. I HAVE TALKED TO FORD ABOUT THE RECALL. THEY SAY THEY ARE ONLY REPLACING INFLATORS. I DON'T NEED AN INFLATOR BECAUSE MINE ALREADY IMPROPERLY INFLATED! BECAUSE THE INFLATOR WAS DEFECTIVE, NOW I HAVE NO AIRBAGS! BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE INFLATOR REPLACED, I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE NEW AIRBAGS INSTALLED. I DO NOT THINK THAT IS RIGHT. IF THE INFLATOR HAD WORKED PROPERLY, THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED AND HIT ME IN THE FACE!

THE SRS PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF SWITCH HAS A LIGHTBULB THAT IS HARD WIRED INTO THE BOARD INSIDE THE SWITCH MODULE. IT HAS A RELATIVELY SHORT LIFE SPAN, AND WHEN THE BULB BURNS OUT IS CAUSES THE MODULE TO DEACTIVATE THE SRS AIRBAGS IN BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE PASSENGERS SIDE. THIS CAUSES THE OCCUPANT(S) TO BE UNPROTECTED AS THE AIRBAGS CANNOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. THIS IS THE 2ND OCCURRENCE OF THIS IN MY VEHICLE IN THE LAST 4 YEARS, AND FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GLEAN IN ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS IS A "KNOWN" PROBLEM...AND NO DOUBT ONE THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE OF, OR SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE PROBLEM, AS I PERSONALLY HAVE REPORTED THIS TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

I HAVE A 2004 FORD RANGER P/U THAT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. FROM TIME TO TIME (AND GETTING MORE FREQUENT)THE CRUISE WILL NOT WORK AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALSO THE HORN IS INOPERABLE. I KNOW THAT FORD HAS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES WITH CRUISE PROBLEMS , BUT MY TRUCK VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THOSE BEING RECALLED. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ,THEY INFORMED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AS IT WASN'T COVERED.I CALLED A LOCAL DEALER SERVICE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO ME OH YEAH WE GET THAT PROBLEM AND 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES IT'S A SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT WRAPS THE WIRES AND ALONG WITH NO CRUISE OR HORN YOU ALSO LOSE YOUR DRIVER AIR BAG PROTECTION!!!NOW THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM,AS HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW TEST THEIR HORN BEFORE DRIVING OUT THE DRIVE AND FOR THAT MATTER REALLY HOW MANY PEOPLE EVEN USE CRUISE CONTROL ON A REGULAR BASIS? I KNOW IN MY CASE THAT IF IT DOES GO IN CRUISE AND I AM GOING DOWN THE NYS THRUWAY AND HAVE TO TAP MY BRAKE FOR SLOW TRAFFIC AND THEN TAP RESUME AFTER TRAFFIC CLEARS AND CRUISE DOES NOT FUNCTION THAT TELLS ME MY HORN ISN'T GOING TO WORK AND MY LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER IF I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY AIR BAG IS ALSO INOPERABLE. *TR
