THEIR IS AN IMPLIED DANGER THAT HAS BEEN CREATED AND NEEDED TO BE FIXED. I AM AWARE OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT THIS IS ONLY FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS TAKEN THEIR VEHICLE AND HAD IT FIXED. WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE AT RISK FOR INJURY DUE TO THIS DEFECT AND THE RECALL THEY HAVE OFFERED NO FIX FOR FOR.TO DATE.

TAKATA RECALL I GOT A NOTICE FROM FORD IN JULY 2016 AND ANOTHER NOTCIE FROM FORD IN DECEMBER 2017. I CALLED DEALERS FOR THE LAST YEAR AND NO ONE CAN FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE NOT IN YET.

TAKATA RECALL NOTHING HAS HAPPENED (YET!), BUT I WISH TO FORMALLY COMPLAIN ABOUT FORD/MERCURY DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON FULFILLING THE DEMANDS OF THE AIRBAG RECALL WHICH WAS ISSUED A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO. THEY ARE STILL CLAIMING THAT WE (OWNERS) WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL WHEN THE REMEDY/PART IS AVAILABLE, BUT THE DELAY IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT TRYING TO WEASEL OUT OF THEIR OBLIGATION, ASKING (AND RECENTLY BEING DENIED BY) THE NHTSA FOR A PASS, WHILE OTHER MANUFACTURERS LIKE NISSAN AND HONDA HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF VEHICLE OWNERS, AND PROACTIVE WITH THEIR RECALL OBLIGATIONS. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE AND SO I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE FACT THAT EVERY TIME MY FAMILY OR I USE THIS CAR, OUR VERY LIVES ARE AT RISK, BECAUSE FORD APPARENTLY FEELS THEIR BOTTOM LINE OUTWEIGHS THE POTENTIAL COST OF A FEW WRONGFUL DEATH SUITS.

TAKATA RECALL: WE HAVE ATTEMPTED MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO GET SERVICE RE: THE TAKATA RECALL ON OUR VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOTIFIED US EACH TIME THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE PART(S). WHERE CAN WE TAKE OUR CAR TO GET THIS RESOLVED? I FEEL WE'RE IN DANGER AND NO ONE IS HELPING US.

MY CAR IS PART OF A RECALL ON AIRBAGS. WHEN I CHECK OUT YOUR SITE, MY CAR IS ON THE LIST AND A POSSIBLE DANGER TO ME. HOWEVER, THE RECALL STATUS SAYS INCOMPLETE, AND NOT REMEDY. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I DO I GET MY CAR FIXED? DO I HAVE TO SUBMIT ANY OTHER FORMS OR DO I CALL A DEALER. I DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY CAR IS LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST. IS THERE A DEADLINE FOR DECEMBER 27TH FOR ME?

THIS CAR IS NOW MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND IS SITUATED IN FLORIDA WITH HOT WEATHER YEAR ROUND. I AM SCARED EACH TIME I DRIVE IT THAT I OR MY PASSENGER WILL BE INJURED BY THIS UNSAFE AIRBAG SITUATION.

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A LETTER ON JULY 2016 FROM FORD ABOUT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY TO BE NOTIFY THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. ALSO BACK IN 2011, THE SUMMERS WERE VERY HOT. WHEN I WALKED TO MY CAR AFTER WORK.. I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BUBBLED UP, DOWN BY THE BOTTOM HALF OF WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I GET MY OIL CHANGES AND OTHER UP KEEPS ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT FORD . FORD SAID TO ME THAT MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID , THEY COULD TRY TO FIX IT BUT THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD WORK. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ABOUT $300.00 BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE GLOVE BOX OUT AND DEACTIVATE THE AIRBAG AND CROSS ARE FINGERS THAT IT HOLDS ONCE THEY BASICALLY GLUE IT. WELL, WHEN I GOT THIS RECALL, IT PUT ME TO THINKING IF THIS RECALL HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS BUBBLING UP LIKE IT DID. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND GET PRETTY GOOD TRADE-INS FOR THEM , NOW BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT OR POSSIBILITY HAVING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. THE TRADE-IN WILL BE DOCKED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT THAT I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH. PEOPLE THAT RIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ASK ME IF THE AIRBAG WILL ERUPT WHILE THEY ARE SITTING THERE. I TELL THEM , THAT I WAS INFORMED THAT IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T. (ENCOURAGING WORDS, RIGHT). I'M SENDING YOU THE LETTER I RECEIVED ABOUT THE RECALL BACK ON JULY 2016, THAT I'M STILL WAITING ON AND ALSO PICTURES OF MY DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIRBAG IS,. I KNOW YOU WILL BE SURPRISED LIKE ME, WHEN I WALKED TO MY CAR AFTER WORK TO SEE MY DASHBOARD BUBBLED UP BY THE HEAT AND AIRBAG.

I'VE BEEN DRIVING IN FEAR ANY TIME I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT - KNOWING THAT IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG MAY EXPLODE SENDING METAL FRAGMENTS SHOOTING INTO ME AND MY PASSENGER. HOW IS IT OK THAT THIS IS LEFT "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE?" HOW IS IT OK TO PUT CUSTOMERS IN DANGER WITHOUT FIXING THE ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR? ARE THERE NOT RENTAL CARS THAT THEY CAN GIVE ME IN THE MEAN TIME? I'M TIRED OF WAITING, I'M ABOUT TO MOVE OUT OF THE STATE, AND WILL BE UNABLE TO RECEIVE THE LETTER SAYING IT IS FIXED. WHO KNOWS IF I WILL EVER RECEIVE A LETTER ANYWAY? THIS IS DISGRACEFUL AND HORRIBLE AND FRIGHTENING. I WILL BE SEEKING LEGAL ACTION UNLESS THIS IS FIXED NOW.
