TAKATA RECALL, I'VE CHECK WITH SEVERAL DEALERSIPS IN MY AREA ABOUT THE RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE. THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE IS STILL NOT A FIX FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A LOT OF VEHICLES AFFECTED BUT I'VE SEEN OTHER MANUFACTURER FIXING THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS. WHY HASN'T FORD MOTOR CO. COME UP WITHA SOLUTION FOR THEIR VEHICLES UNDER THIS RECALL, THIS IS A VERY SERIIOUS PROBLEM.
TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL SINCE MARCH, 2017 AND THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED OF THE LACK OF SPEED AND, AS A RESULT, LACK OF CONCERN THAT WHOEVER IS IN CHARGED OF FIXING THIS PROBLEM HAS. THANKFULLY MY FAMILY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 2017 IS ALMOST OVER AND THIS RECALL HAS BEEN ALMOST IN EFFECT FOR A YEAR - SOMETHING THAT IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

MY PROBLEM IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE OPEN INVESTIGATION NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE16017 CALLED "EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE". AFTER ENGAGING THE ABS DUE TO ICY AND SNOWY CONDITIONS, MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY "SOFT" AND ALMOST GOES TO THE FLOOR. THE TYPICAL BRAKING CHARACTERISTICS ARE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY, MUCH GREATER FORCE AND DISTANCE ARE REQUIRED TO STOP THE CAR. THIS IS VERY REPEATABLE. PUMPINT THE BRAKES DID NOT IMMEDIATELY HELP, BUT EVENTUALLY THE PEDAL DID COME BACK TO THE NORMAL POSITION. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2017 I MUST HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITHOUT REALIZING IT, THE SHOP REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER BUT AS OF YESTERDAY IT'S OBVIOUS CHANGING THE MASTER CYLINDER DID NOT HELP. I SEE THIS AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, I WILL NOT LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN UNTIL THIS IS FIXED.

MY MOST RECENT CALL WAS ON 10/31/17, TO COMPLAIN THAT THEY STILL HAVE ME DRIVING IN A DEATH TRAP WITH MY CHILDREN ON A DAILY BASIS AND THE WOMAN I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER AND THEY WERE NOT SURE WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. SHE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT NOT ONLY IS MY PASSENGER SIDE A RECALL BUT ALSO, MY DRIVER AIRBAG IS FAULTY AS WELL!!! I'M DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY FORD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND I TRY NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR TOO OFTEN DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A DEATH TRAP AT THIS POINT. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO AT THIS POINT TO GET THE SITUATION RECTIFIED?

TAKATA RECALL: I'VE RECEIVED 2 LETTERS FROM FORD OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF SAYING THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY AIRBAGS. I'VE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NO SUPPLIES YET FOR PUTTING NEW AIRBAGS IN. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT FORD, BUT THEN I RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT NOTICE FOR TEKATA AIRBAGS. I CONCLUDED THAT THESE ARE THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR. I WENT TO THE WEBSITE WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO GET MY NEW AIRBAGS, BUT ALL IT GAVE ME WAS THE PHONE NUMBER TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I'VE ALREADY CALLED AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY. I WANT THIS RESOLVED AND I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND.
TAKATA RECALL - I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER (VANCOUVER FORD, VANCOUVER WASHINGTON) TO ARRANGE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS RECALLED. THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN'T DO IT AT THIS TIME, AS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY AIR BAGS FOR THE REPLACEMENTS, BUT THAT THEY WOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH ME. THEY GAVE ME NO IDEA OF TIMELINE, ETC.
CALLED THE FORD DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR (TAKATA RECALL) AND THEY CLAIM THEY DON'T HAVE REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE OVER A YEAR AGO FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V024000 (AIR BAGS).

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JULY 2016 FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (BLOOMINGTON FORD IN BLOOMINGTON, IN), SAYING THAT MY CAR FELL UNDER THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. IT HAS NOW BEEN NEARLY 18 MONTHS SINCE THAT LETTER WAS SENT, AND I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP EARLIER THIS MONTH TO SEE IF MY CAR COULD BE REPAIRED. THEY TOLD ME THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED MATERIALS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIRS. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME THIS IS TAKING. I AM VERY AWARE THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD CAUSE FATAL INJURY, AND AS I'M LOOKING TO SELL THE CAR IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO I'M CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM WOULDN'T BE CORRECTED BEFORE THAT HAPPENS AND THAT THE NEXT OWNERS MAY UNKNOWINGLY BE DRIVING A CAR WITH A POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS DEALING WITH MASSIVE DELAYS ON THIS RECALL REPAIR PROCESS, BUT I WAS HOPING THAT THE NHTSA COULD COME UP WITH SOME REMEDY THAT COULD GET MY CAR FIXED FASTER. I'D ALSO LIKE YOU TO CONFIRM THAT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS ARE AS OF NOW UNABLE TO FIX MY CAR IN ANY WAY, BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING COULD BE DONE EVEN IF TAKATA HAS DECIDED TO FILE BANKRUPTCY. THANK YOU.
TAKATA RECALL TAKING TWO LONG. RECALL WAS 06/2016. STILL HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED AS OF 11/18/2017. THIS IS MY ELDERLY MOTHERS CAR AND EVERY TIME SHE CHECKS WILL THE FORD DEALER IN ROYSTON GA. THEY ACT LIKE SMARTY PANTS AND ASK HER "DID YOU GET A LETTER AND WHAT DID IT SAY?" HER REPLY IS THAT THE LETTER SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT HER WHEN THEY GET THE PARTS. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS YET. A YEAR AND A HALF WAIT IS TO LONG. WHAT IS UP WITH FORD. MY HONDA AIRBAG WAS TAKEN CARE OF IN 2016.
YAKATA RECALL - DEALERS CANNOT GET REPLACEMENT PARTS
TAKATA RECALL THIS NOTICE WAS PUT OUT IN 2016, IT IS ALMOST THE END OF 2017. I CALLED FORD MOTORS ON 11/17/17 AND THEY DON'T HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIME AS TO WHEN THE DEALERSHIPS WILL BE RECEIVING THE PARTS TO FIX THE AIR BAG PROBLEMS. WHAT'S A REASONABLE TIME FAME? I HOPE THEY'RE NOT WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN FIRST.
I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE TAKATA RECALL AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ADDITIONALLY, LAST WINTER MY ABS BRAKING SYSTEM AFTER A SHORT SLIDE ON ICE, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY SOFT AND REMAINS THAT WAY CURRENTLY AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD FOR A SEVERE STOP THAT IT WILL NOT STOP PROPERLY. IT HAPPENED WHEN I BRAKED ON A STREET WITH ICE, THE ABS KICKED IN AS THE TIRE SLIDE ON THE ICE, THEN AFTERWARDS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO BE DEPRESSED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE TOWARDS THE FLOOR OF THE CAR THAT IT USED TO FROM THE INCEPTION OF PURCHASING THE CAR
TAKATA INFLATORS- THE COVER TO MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS WARPED AND PARTIALLY EXPOSING THE AIRBAG. I AM UNABLE TO TRANSPORT ANOTHER PASSENGER FOR FEAR OF IT EXPLODING. IN ADDITION, THE DASHBOARD LIGHT FOR MY DRIVER RIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT TURN OFF.
I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY 2007 FORD FUSION IN 03/2017. I CONTACTED FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 08/11/2017 AND I WAS ADVISED THAT FORD IS IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A NEW AIRBAG SUPPLIER DUE TO TAKATA'S FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY. IT IS NOW 11/15/2017 AND MY AIRBAG HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED, AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM FORD. I DO REALIZE THAT TAKATA'S FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY MIGHT HAVE COMPLICATED THE SITUATION. I ALSO REALIZE THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL; HOWEVER, IT IS A CONCERN FOR ME THAT 8 MONTHS HAVE GONE BY AND THIS SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HOPE THAT DELAY DOES NOT RESULT IN ANY INJURY TO MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. I FEEL THAT 8 MONTHS OF WAITING IS A LONG TIME, ESPECIALLY FOR A SAFETY RECALL AND THAT THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
RECEIVED NOTICE THAT AIRBAG WAS UNDER RECALL IN JUNE 2016. I HAVE CONTACTED 2 SEPARATE FORD DEALERS AND AM TOLD THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AS OF NOVEMBER 2017. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE, WHERE CAN I GO TO GET A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG INSTALLED?
TAKATA RECALL I'VE HAD A RECALL NOTICE SINCE JULY 2016 BUT NO DEALER IS YET ABLE TO HELP ME RESOLVE THE RECALL NOTICE.
TAKATA RECALL - MY FORD DEALERSHIP IS STILL SAYING AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY VEHICLE ANY LONGER WITHOUT THE RECALL FIXED. I HAVE ASKED EVERY FEW MONTHS ABOUT THIS SINCE THE INITIAL NOTICE I RECEIVED LAST YEAR (JUNE 2016) TO NO AVAIL. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT TO MEMORIALIZE THAT I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING MY DEALERSHIP GETTING THE SAME RESPONSE THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION I JUST HAVE TO WAIT. THIS IS NOT TIMELY IN MY OPINION CONSIDERING THAT THIS COULD CAUSE DEATH. I HAVE REGISTERED MY EMAIL ADDRESS WITH TKRESTRUCTURING.COM PER THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BANKRUPTCY NOTICE, BUT AM STILL CONCERNED THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND FIND THIS NEGLIGENT AT THE VERY LEAST, THANKS!

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.
