MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN ON OUR ROAD (A BUSY ONE) AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. SHE HAD TO PULL OVER WITH CARS ZOOMING BY HER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON. ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING, GO TO FIND OUT THE COILS AND PCM JUST WENT OUT. LOOKED ONLINE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL
TAKATA RECALL WE RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION IN 2016. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS ADVISED WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS WERE IN AND SERVICE COULD BE PERFORMED. HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTICE. WE RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL RECALL NOTIFICATION IN AUGUST 2017. WE CONTACTED THE SAME DEALER AND WAS ADVISED PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND WE WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN SERVICE CAN BE SCHEDULED. STILL NO CONTACT AS OF 11-1-2017. IT APPEARS FORD HAS NOT RESOLVED DEFECTIVE ISSUE WITH NOW BANKRUPT TAKATA. VEHICLE OWNERS ARE AT RISK UNTIL CORRECTIVE ACTION IS COMPLETED. WHAT CAN WE DO TO EXPEDITE DEFECTIVE AIR BAG INFLATOR REPLACMENT?
TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL IN MARCH,2017 AND NOW RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE COMPANY FILING BANKRUPTCY CHAPTER11. SO I CALLED FORD AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG INFLATOR FOR MY VEHICLE. HOW LONG DO THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH A RECALL? I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN INCIDENT BUT FEAR WITH WINTER AND ROAD CONDITIONS SOME THING MIGHT HAPPEN.
TAKATA RECALL. NO ACTION TO CORRECT PROBLEM YET.

NO ONE HAS PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. MY TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AT 40 MILES PER HOUR AND 75 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM STARTED 10 MONTHS AGO AND SEEMS TO BE WORSE. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE THE MAJOR COMPLAINT WITH THESE VEHICLES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
TAKATA RECALL SINCE JULY 2016 WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD, I HAVE BEEN PUT OFF BY LARSON FORD IN LAKEWOOD, NJ RE: THE REPLACEMENT OF MY TAKATA AIRBAGS. I AM SO SICK OF THE "DELAY" EXCUSE AND WONDER EVERYDAY IF MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF FORD'S REFUSAL TO HONOR THE RECALL. ON ONE VISIT WHEN I ASKED MY REPRESENTATIVE AT FORD ABOUT THE RECALL, HER REPLIED THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY AND ANOTHER WORKER SAID " I JUST HAD ONE INSTALLED". MY REP REPLIED THAT WAS A "DIFFERENT" KIND. WHAT IS GOING ON??? YES, I AM A SENIOR AND FEMALE SO WE ALL KNOW HOW FORD PUTS OFF AND TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THIS POPULATION, BUT YOU ARE TALKING LIFE THREATENING HERE. MY LAST REQUEST WAS ON OCTOBER 30, 2017 AND I WAS INFORMED THAT LIVING IN JACKSON, NJ PUT MY VEHICLE ON THE LEAST PRIORITY LIST. THAT WAS A LIE AS ACCORDING TO THE TAKATA WEBSITE I AM IN ZONE B. WHY IS FORD NOT HONORING THIS RECALL AFTER 15 MONTHS OF EFFORT ON MY PART? WHY IS THE STATE OF NJ ALLOWING THIS AMOUNT OF TIME? PURSUE TAKATA! 15 MONTHS OF NOT RETRIEVING THIS REPLACEMENT IS INEXCUSABLE. FOR THE RECORD, MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN LARSON AND FREEHOLD FORD IN NJ. FREEHOLD ONLY IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. *CN

"TAKATA RECALL" 16S26 SINCE RECEIVING THIS RECALL IN JUNE 2016 I HAVE BEEN TO THREE DEALERSHIPS WITH THE SAME RESPONSE, "PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE". FORD BOASTS 14 MILLION VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. HOW MANY HAVE BEEN DRIVING UNSAFE SINCE 2007? MUST I WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE INJURY BEFORE I CAN GET A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG? OBVIOUSLY, A REPLACEMENT WOULD BE FOUND OR PERHAPS THE SOLUTION IS TOTALING THE CAR ALONG WITH POTENTIAL DEATH OR INJURY. THEN ITS JUST ONE LESS AIRBAG TO WORRY ABOUT BUT A HUGE SETTLEMENT FOR THE VICTIMS OR THEIR FAMILIES PAID FOR BY INSURANCE COMPANIES. THIS IS THE AMERICAN WAY????? IF NEW CARS ARE BEING MADE WITH NEW PARTS WHY IN GOD'S NAME CAN'T WE HOLD VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBLE TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS ON A TIMELY BASIS. NOW TK HOLDINGS HAVE FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. WHAT HOPE IS THERE FOR THIS RECALL TO BE SATISFIED IN A TIMELY MANNER WHEN NOTHING HAS HAPPENED SINCE JUNE 2016. WHO DEFINES "TIMELY". WHY ARE NEW CARS ALLOWED TO BE BUILT AND SOLD WHEN WE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF PREVIOUS DEFECTS IN LAST YEAR'S MODEL? WHERE IS QUALITY CONTROL IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TESTING/QUALITY CONTROL OF SUB CONTRACTOR PRODUCTS IF NOT THE NHTSA???? DEALERSHIPS: OC WELCH, HARDEVILLE, SC; JACKY JONES FORD OF HAYESVILLE, GA, BLUE RIDGE NORTH GEORGIA FORD. CUSTOMER IN PERIL HERE AND ALL OVER THE U.S. DRIVING FORDS, LINCOLNS, TOYOATAS, ETC, ETC.

TAKATA RECALL
TAKATA RECALL HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR NOW FOR REPLACEMENT ON PASSAGER AIR BAG AND HAVEN`T GOT A NOTICE AS TO WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED
TAKATA RECALL - FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIR BAGS SINCE JUNE 2016, I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR MONTHS WITH THE SAME RESULT: 'FORD HAS NO PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE'. IT IS NOW OCT 2017, THE POTENTIAL OF FAILURE I CAN ONLY BELIEVE IS INCREASING EVERY DAY, THANKFULLY WE HAVE NOT YET HAD A FAILURE AS OF YET BUT THIS IS A VERY REAL ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED.
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS INFORMED THERE ARE NO PARTS YET AVAILABLE TO FIX THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE. AND NO KNOWN DATE FOR FUTURE REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED AS OF TODAY, BUT I WANT THIS ISSUE FIXED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. FORD WEBSITE STATES VEHICLES ARE SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, HOWEVER THE RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM TAKATA STATES "COULD RUPTURE, CREATING A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH" THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED JUNE 1, 2016 WHY WAS I NEVER NOTIFIED BY FORD? I KNEW NOTHING OF THE RECALL UNTIL TAKATA NOTIFIED ME THEY WERE FILING CHAPTER 11

THE VEHICLE WAS IDENTIFED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V682000 AND WAS TAKEN TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 22, 2016 TO HAVE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS COMPLETED. A STRONG FUEL ODOR WAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AFTER LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, THE FORD DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED. THE ONLY REPAIRS THAT WERE COMPLETED WERE FOUR NEW BOLTS (I HAVE THE INVOICE FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP SHOWING ONLY FOUR NEW BOLTS WERE INSTALLED). THE FUEL TANK WAS NOT REPLACED, NO CORROSION PREVENTATIVE WAS APPLIED TO THE TANK, AND NO INSPECTION REPORT WAS PROVIDED. STARTING IN AUGUST 2017, A STRONG FUEL ODOR STARTED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD SO MUCH CORROSION IT WAS STARTING TO SPLIT IN ONE CORNER. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT RECOMMENDED A NEW FUEL TANK, AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNTIL THE SAFETY RECALL AND IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE NEW FUEL TANK.
I WAS NEVER CONTACTED FROM FORD ABOUT THE RECALL TO GET THE AIR BAG CHECKED OR FIXED UNTIL I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL BY TK HOLDING INC.
"TAKATA RECALL" - PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR STILL NOT REPLACED YET SINCE BEING NOTIFIED IN JUNE 2016 BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY
TAKATA RECALL...HAVE PHONED FORD DEALER FOR YEARS AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS....DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES AND THEN COMPLAIN?
TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT THE EDGE IN 2007, AND HAVE NOT BEEN ADVISED WHEN OR WHERE TO GET THE RECALL DONE. I TALKED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD (WE DO NOT HAVE THEM AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN WE DO) NO ONE SAID ANYTHING UNTIL THIS CHAPTER11 CASE
TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JULY 2016. IT IS OCTOBER 2017, AND THERE ARE STILL NO PARTS FOR THIS RECALL, AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN IN THE WORLD THEY WILL BE IN IF THEY EVER WILL BE IN. AN AIRBAG IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOU, NOT CAUSE POTENTIAL INJURY OR DEATH. WE DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THIS SEAT AS WE DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS GOING TO WORK PROPERLY OR NOT. THE DRIVER OR ANYONE ELSE COULD STILL BE IN DANGER IF THE AIRBAG GOES OFF. THAT MEANS FOR 15 MONTHS THAT WE CAN NOT USE OUR CAR LIKE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE DRIVER IS CONSTANTLY CHAUFFEURING EVERYONE AROUND. IF I GO SOMEWHERE WITH MY HUSBAND, I HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOING TO WANT TO DEAL WITH THE SAME SITUATION, AND I CANNOT COMFORTABLY SELL IT WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE RECALL. NOW TODAY I RECEIVE A NOTICE THAT THE AIRBAG COMPANY IS FILING BANKRUPTCY. IT SAYS TO GO TO WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM ALL THIS DOES IS VERIFY THAT I HAVE A RECALL. I ALREADY KNEW THIS. IT STATES "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" UNDER RECALL STATUS. THEN IT STATES "IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA." CALLING THIS NUMBER GETS YOU ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THE ONLY THING TO DO IS FILE A COMPLAINT
TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD DATED JULY 2016. CALLED THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY NEW AIRBAGS AVAILABLE & THEY WOULD NOTIFY US WHEN TO BEING THE CAR IN FOR REPLACEMENT. IT IS NOW OCT 19, 2017 & WE HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM FORD. ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT TILL WE ARE INJURED TO DO SOMETHING?

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
