TAKATA RECALL (16V-384). I RECEIVED A LETTER ONE YEAR AGO (JUL 2016) REGARDING THIS RECALL. I AM STILL OPERATING THIS CAR ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE AN OFF SWITCH FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG SO I CANNOT HAVE A FRONT PASSENGER RIDE SAFELY WITH ME IN THIS CAR AS IT STANDS NOW. CAN YOU AT LEAST HAVE A FORD MECHANIC INSTALL AN OFF SWITCH FOR THIS DANGEROUS AIR BAG AT LEAST UNTIL A TOTAL RECALL CAN BE PERFORMED? IF NOT, I EXPECT THIS RECALL (16V-384) TO BE ACCOMPLISHED VERY SOON BECAUSE HAVING TO WAIT OVER A YEAR WOULD BE EXTREMELY IRRESPONSIBLE ON YOUR PART. PLEASE GET THIS DONE NOW. THANK YOU! MY NEXT STEP WILL BE TO WRITE THE POTUS!

TAMARA RECALL I WAS NEVER CONTACTED BY THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL FROM A FRIEND. WHEN I DID CALL MY DEALER , I WAS TOLD I HAD TO WAIT TO RECEIVE NOTICE THAT THE PARTS ARE IN TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WHICH I FEEL IS VERY UNSAFE. I WAS NOT OFFERED A LOANER OR RENTAL TO DRIVE WHILE THAI IS IS RESOLVED WHICH ITO ME IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHEN AN ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR.
TAKATA RECALL MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL.
TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR, STILL NO REMEDY FOR THE AIR BAG ISSUE. CHECKED WITH DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS WELL AS THE NHTSA WEBSITE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!

THIS IS RIDICULOUS ALREADY!! THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER.

"TAKATA RECALL" - I CALLED THE SOUTH BAY FORD DEALER IN HAWTHORNE, CA. TODAY ON 1/16/17 AND WAS TOLD MY CAR IS ON THE RECALL LIST BUT THEY CAN'T HELP ME BECAUSE FORD HASN'T TOLD THE LOCAL DEALER WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE READY FOR INSTALL AND REPAIR. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER FOR THE CONSUMER. THESE BAGS CAN "KILL YOU" IF THEY EXPLODE. THE SERVICE DEPT. WAS VERY RUDE AND MADE ME FEEL UNIMPORTANT AND NOT WORTH THEIR TIME IN DISCUSSING THE MATTER AND TOLD ME TO CALL FORD! IT SEEMS NOBODY CARES ANYMORE. MY COMPLAINT IS WHEN WILL FORD "FIX" THIS PROBLEM?
TAKATA RECALL NOTIFIED OVER A YEAR AGO THAT MY CAR WAS UNDER THIS RECALL. NOTIFIED AGAIN JULY 2016 THAT I WOULD BE RECEIVING A LETTER WHEN MY AIR BAG BECAME AVAILABLE AND TO NOTIFY MY DEALER. CALLED DEALER AND HE SAID PROBABLY BY DEC. 2016. NOW THE DEALER IS TELLING ME APRIL 2017. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE SINCE MY TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS DRIVE THIS CAR TO COLLEGE FOUR DAYS A WEEK. YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS APPRECIATED. NO REPLACEMENT FOR THIS AIRBAG AFTER 18 MONTHS IS BORDERLINE CRIMINAL. *TR

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.
