TAKATA RECALL; I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE DATED JULY 2016, IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED ACADEMY FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT IN AND I WOULD RECEIVE A NOTICE/LETTER WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I'D CHECK WITH THEM EVERY COUPLE MONTHS WITH THE LATEST BEING 10/17/17, AND STILL NO LUCK TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I WAS GIVEN AN 800 NUMBER TO CALL "HEADQUARTERS", BUT THE GENTLEMAN ONLY SAID THAT THERE WAS MILLIONS OF CARS OUT THERE THAT NEED TAKEN CARE OF....I ASKED WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THIS AND HE TOLD ME TO "DRIVE CAREFULLY". TODAY, 10/31/17, I GET THIS CARD IN THE MAIL STATING THAT TK HOLDINGS ARE FILING CHAPTER 11. DOES THIS MEAN THEY WILL NOT BE FIXING MY CAR'S PROBLEM? THIS HAS GONE ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY THIS AIRBAG ISSUE ISN'T FIXED BY NOW. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS MATTER. I WILL BE CONTACTING SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO SEE IF I GET ANY HELP. I DON'T EVEN ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. CHECKED WITH LOCAL FORD DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD PARTS TO FIX THE AIRBAG ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND UNKNOWN WHEN THEY WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THIS CONTINUES TO BE A SAFETY RISK.

TAKATA RECALL. LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE DEFECT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS . AIRBAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED, JUST WANT TO GET IT REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL, BODY PAINT HORRIBLE, RUSTED EARLY, TRANSMISSION WENT WENT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HORRIBLE, TURNS LIKE A TRUCK

TAKATA RECALL. I AM UNABLE TO GO TO ANY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED BECAUSE THERE IS NONE TO REPLACE THEM WITH WHICH MEANS THE VALUE OF MY CAR HAS BEEN DRAMATICALLY REDUCED AND MORE IMPORTANTLY ITS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE NOT HAD MY AIRBAGS REPLACED YET AND THEY HAVE ALREADY EXPLODED ON ME. I HAD GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG EXPLODED ON ME I WASNT GOING FAST AT ALL WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. BY HAVING THE AIR BAG EXPLOXED ON ME HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE BRUISED CHEST BONE AND A CONCUSSION AND IT TOOK AWHILE FOR ME TO RECOVER FROM THE ACCIDENT.

TAKADA RECALL - THIS RECALL IS FOR MY DAUGHTER'S PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE MARCH OF 2017 THE DATE WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD, TO GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED. EVERYTIME SHE DRIVES THAT CAR OR HAS A PASSENGER IN HER CAR IT IS A SAFETY HAZZARD KNOWING OTHER DRIVERS AND PASSENGER'S HAVE DIED WHILE WAITING FOR THE PART OR PARTS TO BE REPLACED. I AM APPALLED AT THE LACK OF URGENCY ON THE CAR MANUFACTURER'S AND TAKEDA TO FIX ALL THE VEHICHLES INVOLVED IN THE RECALL CONSIDERING THE PRICE TO PAY IS WITH SOMEONE'S LIFE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. UNFORTUNATELY FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MANY OTHER'S AFFECTED, THE PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ANY TIME SOON WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" SND I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN TURN SIGNALS ON BOTH FRONT RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE STOPPED WORKING. RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL JUST STAYED ON , SO I HAD TO DISCONNECT IT OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE DRAINED THE BATTERY. I REPLACED BOTH BULBS WITH NEW ONES, STILL DID NOT WORK. I GET A MESSAGE SAYING CHECK RIGHT FRONT AND LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNALS. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF 2006 FORD FUSIONS, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN CARS FRONT SIGNAL INDICATORS DONT WORK. I WAS TOLD THE SMART JUNCTION BOX NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM,AND DONE NOTHING!

TAKATA RECALL.

I NEVER HEARD FROM ANYONE, SO I STARTED CALLING JULY 2017 AND HAVE CALLED 2 OTHER TIMES. THEY TELL ME THAT WE WILL GET AN EMAIL FROM FORD TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED WHEN THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SUCH NOTICE AS OF THIS DATE.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DEALERS AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE AIRBAGS AVAILABLE TO INSTALL. RECEIVED LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY, 2016.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS RECALL BACK IN JUNE OF 2016, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO GET PARTS IN ORDER TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF. FOR AN ITEM THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TAKING WAY TO LONG.

TAKATA RECALL: NO CORRECTIVE ACTION ON THE PART OF TAKATA OR FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

TAKATA RECALL. UPON ATTEMPTING TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS WORTH ONE THIRD OF THE BOOK VALUE SINCE THE AIR BAG IS APPARENTLY UNDER RECALL AND FORD IS OFFERING NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I AM LEFT DRIVING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT SELL OR TRADE. "NO REMEDY" IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER.

ON YOUR VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. A RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

TAKATA RECALL FORD DEALER STILL HAS NO PARTS TO REPLACE AIRBAG, AFTER OVER A YEAR OF WAITING. DASH IS BUCKLING BELOW THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT LAST WEEK THE BOARD HAS THE RUBBER OUTSIDE, I HAVE MORE THAN A YEAR WAITING, I DO NOT LIKE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS AND THEY TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A CAR AVAILABLE TO USE, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER JULY 2016 STATING THAT MY AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT. I HAVE BEEN WITH TWO FORD DEALERS SINCE THEN, BUT THEY SAID EVERY TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THAT THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WAS NOT AVAILABLE. I JUST ENTERED MY VIN INTO THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND IT STATES THAT MY CAR DOES NEED THE AIRBAG REPLACED SINCE IT COULD RUPTURE ON IMPACT, BUT THE REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE YET. I AM VERY CONCERNED SINCE I'M DRIVING WITH AN AIRBAG THAT IS KNOWN TO CAUSE DANGER AND DEATH IF DEPLOYED. I WANT MY AIRBAG FIXED ASAP. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR THAT I'VE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE IN DANGER. PLEASE PROVIDE THE REMEDY NOW.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT TYPICAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60MPH-70MPH) THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR LOOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ANY FASTER THAN ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR. WE PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT BACK UP AGAIN AND IT APPEARS TO RUN FINE. THIS CAN HAPPEN RANDOMLY ONE DAY AND THEN NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS OR EVEN A MONTH OR TWO THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. BASED ON MY RESEARCH COMPARING OTHER DRIVERS POSTING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY OR WHAT IS SOMETIMES CALLED THE ETB = ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THE PROBLEM IS THE RESULT OF THE COMPUTER AND SENSORS SENDING BAD SIGNALS TO THE THROTTLE BODY MECHANISM WHICH THEN AFFECTS THE AIR/GAS MIXTURE AND ADVERSELY AFFECTS ACCELERATION, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES FOR FORD FUSIONS BUT IT ONLY INCLUDED 2009 MODELS AND LATER MODELS, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE 2006 MODELS. I HAVE READ OF OTHER PEOPLE IN EARLIER MODEL CARS FROM AS EARLY AS 2005 POSTING ON FORUMS THAT THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE, SO I BELIEVE THIS WASN'T ONLY A PROBLEM ON 2009'S AND LATER. FORD ISSUES AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUSION OF TEN YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SPECIFIC RECALL OTHER THAN A REFERENCE TO CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES IS REFERRED AS THE "LIMP HOME" MODE. IN CONCLUSION, I WOULD LIKE OUR 2006 FORD FUSION TO BE INCLUDED OR QUALIFIED IN THE

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON JULY 2016 STATING THAT THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. A RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. SINCE THIS IS ALARMING INFORMATION I HAVE CALLED THE KEN GRODY DEALER IN BUENA PARK, CA ON 7-30-16, 12-8-16 AND 9-6-17 INQUIRING IF THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE YET TO FIX MY 2006 FORD FUSION. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET. SO MY QUESTION IS WHEN WILL THESE PARTS BE AVAILABLE FROM FORD SO THE RECALL CAN BE FULFILLED? INJURY OR DEATH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A SLOW MOVING FORD CO. TO RESPOND TO PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT THIS CAR.

I WAS ON A CITY STREET, IN MOTION, GOING ABOUT 10-15 MPH. I WAS BRAKING IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, WHILE GOING OVER A BUMP WHERE THE PAVEMENT DROPPED. IT FELT LIKE THE ABS ENGAGED, THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PULLED INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT WHERE I COULD TEST THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO PUMP UP THE BRAKES, APPLY PRESSURE, BUT THEN LOST THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN. I REPEATED THIS PROCESS PROBABLY A DOZEN TIMES UNTIL FINALLY I HAD NORMAL BRAKING AGAIN. I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I FOUND THIS LINK AFTER GOOGLING MY ISSUE: HTTPS://CONSUMERMEDIALLC.FILES.WORDPRESS.COM/2016/12/INOA-PE16017-4745.PDF ALTHOUGH THE PDF THERE DOESN'T INCLUDE MY MODEL YEAR, IT SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME.
