"TAKATA RECALL" - PERSONAL VEHICLE IS NOT DISABLED BUT HOW CAN A TOP TIER VEHICLE MANUFACTURER BE ALLOWED TO DEFER REPAIRS REGARDING A "SAFETY" RECALL FOR SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME? VERY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS FOR ALL CONCERNED.

AFTER THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FEATURE HAS ENGAGED, ON SUBSEQUENT STOPS THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BE VERY SOFT. I WILL HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND SITS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (HOUR OR MORE) THE PEDAL USUALLY RETURNS TO NORMAL. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 7 YEARS, THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE LATEST WAS 10/27/2018.

TAKATA RECALL WE CALLED TO GET IT FIXED AN THEY SAY ITS GONNA TAKE A LONG TIME TO GET PARTS TO FIX

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE YET TO HAVE A REMEDY FOR MY AIRBAG RECALL WHICH WAS INITIATED IN JANUARY 2017. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN INORDINATELY LONG WAITING PERIOD OF HAVING TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE INJURY OCCURRING.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN POUGHKEEPSIE IN GETTING MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN PUT OFF EACH TIME I CALL - THEY STATE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. THE NEW DATE THEY GAVE ME WAS TO CALL BACK ON NOVEMBER 1, 2018.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V046000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JANUARY OF 2018. AFTER, CONTACTING THE LOCAL DEALER VILLAGE FORD (23535 MICHIGAN AVE DEARBORN, MI) THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE RECALL WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA INFLATORS. MY ISSUE IS THE LENGTH OF TIME IN GETTING MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. THE RECALL WAS EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2017. I WAS NOTIFIED BY LETTER MARCH 2017. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AND EACH TIME TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IT'S AN UNNECESSARY STRESS IN DRIVING THIS CAR KNOWING OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS. I JUST WANT THE PARTS REPLACED. THAT'S ALL.

TAKATA RECALL PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. NO RENTAL CARS ARE AVAILABLE AT MY LOCAL DEALER (PARADISE FORD). FORD CORPORATE COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD ON MARCH 2017. AS OF OCTOBER 2018, I STILL HAVE NOT HAD MY AIRBAGS REPLACED! I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MYERS FORD AND HAVE CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES. THEY JUST SAY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THEM AND I HAVE TO WAIT. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND AM AFRAID EVERY TIME I GO OUT THAT EVEN SOME MINOR FENDER BENDER COULD KILL ME. PLEASE HELP. I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A TIME BOMB.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON MY VEHICLE AND IT HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED . FORD CLAIMS THEY NEVER HAVE PARTS, TO RISK MY LIFE DRIVING IT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.THE AIRBAG COVER IS STICKING UP AND LOOKS LIKE IT IS FIXING TO EXPLODE AT ANY MINUTE AND THIS NEEDS TO BE DELT WITH MY FAMILY USES THIS CAR TO GET AROUND THATS THE REASON WE BOUGHT IT. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THIS IS UNSAFE BUT I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BECAUSE YALL WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. I INITIALLY RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM FORD DATED MARCH,2017 WHICH STATED THAT WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE I WOULD BE NOTIFIED THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT WHICH TIME I WOULD CONTACT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ISSUE CORRECTED. I RECEIVED NO OTHER CORRESPONDENCE FROM FORD IN 2017. THEN THIS YEAR IN 2018 I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE FROM FORD, STATING THE I CAN CONTACT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN FOR REPAIR. I THEN CALLED FORD OF MURFREESBORO IN MURFREESBORO, TN SO THAT THEY COULD PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY JONATHAN GREENE IN THEIR SHOP TO EMAIL HIM PHOTOS OF ALL 4 SIDES OF MY VEHICLE, ALONG WITH A PHOTO SHOT OF THE VIN PLATE AND PHOTO SHOT OF THE ODOMETER, WHICH I DID ON JUNE 12, 2018. I DID THAT AS INSTRUCTED, BUT I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM HIM. I THEN RE-SENT THE EMAIL TO HIM ON JULY 3, 2018, BUT AS OF THIS DATE, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING MORE FROM FORD OR FROM THE FORD OR MURFREESBORO DEALERSHIP. THEREFORE I STILL HAVE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE, WAITING FOR A CRASH TO OCCUR. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT FORD WOULD WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ASAP IN ORDER TO AVOID A CATASTROPHIC OCCURRENCE AND POSSIBLE SUIT, BUT NO, I HAVE HAD NO FURTHER RESPONSE AND NO INDICATION OF CONCERN ON THE PART OF FORD.

HERKY JERKY ACCELERATION. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A SENSOR. 6 MONTHS LATER, SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID A SMALL OIL LEAK BURNED THROUGH SOME WIRES. STATED SOME SORT OF ISSUE WITH A WIRING HARNESS. STATED WIRING HARNESS NEEDED REPLACED, BUT WAS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE. BRAKES CONSTANTLY NEED REPAIRS/REPLACEMENTS. MULTIPLE TIMES PER YEAR.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT FAILED ON THE ABS SYSTEM. BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE WAS LOST AND BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND FAILED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL BASED ON REPORTED ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. BRAKES FAILED ON THE ROAD WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE CAR WOULD STOP BUT PEDAL WAS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED AT OUR EXPENSE.

I KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP, VALVOLINE OIL CHANGE, AND OTHER SOURCES TELLING ME THERE IS A RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAG. WHENEVER I ASK THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY FUNDS FOR THE REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN AUTHORIZED YET. I WAS NOTIFIED DURING THE WINTER, AND TOLD REPAIRS WERE EXPECTED IN THE SPRING. IN THE SPRING I CHECKED BACK, AND WAS TOLD SUMMER WAS EXPECTED. IN THE SUMMER I CHECKED BACK, AND WAS TOLD THE FALL. NOW IT'S THE END OF OCTOBER, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I'VE ALSO HEARD OF OTHER RECALLS BEING ON FILE, BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP ON A VIN SEARCH.

TAKARA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL STILL NO FIX ON THE AIRBAG. THIS ANGERS ME GREATLY HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO GET HURT OR KILLED BEFORE FORD TAKES CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. NO RENTALS AVAILABLE SO STUCK WITH DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE

I WAS DRIVING AND HIT A SMALL POTHOLE - MY BRAKES SUBSEQUENTLY BECAME EXTREMELY SOFT TO THE POINT WHERE I FELT LIKE I HAD NO BRAKING POWER.

:TAKATA RECALL: HAD A RECALL OF TAKATA INFLATORS ON RIGHT HAND PASSENGER SIDE AND WAS TOLD NOT TO USE. THIS RECALL WAS ON JULY 2017. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TOCARRY PASSENGERS ON THE RIGHT HAND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.

FORD SENT A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS AND NOT ON THE INFLATOR WHICH TAKE LONGER AND LONGER TO SHOW INFLATION ON DASH LIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A POSTCARD 01/2018 THAT MY FORD FUSION 2009 WAS BEING RECALLED DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. I PHONED DIEHL FORD (BELLINGHAM, WA 98225) THEY SAID IT WAS A PRELIMINARY NOTICE. I RECEIVED A LETTER WITH SAME INFORMATION AS THE POSTCARD. DIEHL FORD TOLD ME I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT LETTER. WHEN I RECEIVED THAT LETTER, DIEHL TOLD ME THEY WERE OUT OF AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT AIRBAG SHIPMENT, PROBABLY SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER 2018. AS OF TODAY, OCT. 26, 2018 I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING MORE. THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR MONTHS, I CANNOT DRIVE IT. I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET FOR A RENTAL CAR.

TAKATA RECALL - I'M STILL WAITING TO GET THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF - FORD SAID RENTAL CARS AVAILABLE BUT WHEN I CALLED DEALERSHIP THERE ARE NO RENTAL CARS AVAILABLE SO I AM STUCK DRIVING A CAR THAT MAY INJURE MY SON OR OTHER PASSENGER. I AM VERY ANGRY THAT THE TAKATA AND FORD ARE NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS. WHY ARE THERE NO RENTAL CARS AVAILABLE WHEN A PERSONS SAFETY IS INVOLVED?

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG RECALL

BRAKE PEDAL VERY SPONGY , GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR , DOESN'T MATTER MOVING OR STOPPED, IF PUMPED WILL COME UP BUT FADES AWAY. I NOTICE IT IS NOT A RANDOM OCCURRENCE AND IS ALL OVER THE VARIOUS WEBSITES. IF IT IS , WHY HASN'T FORD DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT? IT IS BAD ENOUGH I CAN'T GET THE AIRBAG FIXED LET ALONE SAFELY STOP THE CAR BEFORE I WOULD NEED THE AIRBAGS! AS A JOHN Q. PUBLIC I DON'T HAVE $1000 DOLLARS TO FIX A "SAFETY" CONCERN THAT HAS TO BE KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER. IF FORD VALUES RETURN CUSTOMERS THEY NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. I UNDERSTAND THE COST OF THE RECTIFYING THESE ISSUES BUT I ALSO AS A FORMER FORD DEALER EMPLOYEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE RIGHT THING DONE IF THEY EXPECT REPEAT CAR SALES.

IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE FORD TOLD US ABOUT THE RECALL, AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. THEY ALSO WON'T GET A RENTAL CAR FOR US WHEN THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT'S DANGEROUS AND THAT WE SHOULD 'LEAVE OUR CAR SITTING' UNTIL IT'S FIXED. HOW CAN SOMEONE LEAVE THEIR CAR SITTING FOR YEARS?? FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO START ACTUALLY FIXING THESE CARS.

WEST CHESTER, OHIO, BETWEEN 6:30 AM AND 7:00 AM EST ON 10/18/2018 WHILE TRAVELLING SOUTHBOUND ON I-75 COMING FROM THE UNION CENTER BOULEVARD ON-RAMP HEADING TOWARDS THE NORWOOD LATERAL PARKWAY (562); PLEASE REFERENCE THE ATTACHED PDF FOR GOOGLE MAP IMAGES OF THE AREA. THE EVENT THAT I DESCRIBE IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS HAS OCCURRED IN AT LEAST FOUR OTHER INCIDENCES INVOLVING SIMILAR CONDITIONS: I WAS HEADING FROM THE LA FITNESS ON ALLEN ROAD IN WEST CHESTER, OH TO HIXSON ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING INTERIORS IN CINCINNATI, OH. I WAS APPROACHING A BRIDGE IN THE ROAD THAT WENT OVER WHAT I BELIEVE IS AN AGRICULTURAL WATER RUNOFF. IN BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND THE CONTIGUOUS ROADWAY IS A SMALL BREAK WHERE YOU CAN FEEL A SLIGHT BUMP BECAUSE OF THE PARTITION. AS I APPROACHED THE PARTITION, TRAFFIC BEGAN TO SLOW DUE TO HIGH VOLUME AT THAT TIME IN THE MORNING. I PROCEEDED TO APPLY PRESSURE TO MY BRAKE PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME I WAS CROSSING THE PARTITION. AS SOON AS I HIT THE PARTITION, MY BRAKE PEDAL LOST THE MAJORITY OF ITS PRESSURE, REQUIRING ME TO FORCE THE PEDAL ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. JUST WHEN I HIT THE BREAK IN THE ROAD AND MY BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE, I BELIEVE I COULD HEAR THE SOUNDS OF MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGE, LIKE A CLICKING AS IF I LOST TRACTION AND WERE SKIDDING ON ICE. THERE WAS NO ICE, RAIN, SLEET, OR SNOW TODAY, AND THE PREVIOUS TIMES THIS SAME PHENOMENON HAS OCCURRED, THERE WERE ALSO NO COND

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES EVER SINCE I GOT THE BRAKE PADS CHANGED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL SHOPS THAT CANNOT TELL WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. YOU REALLY HAVE TO PRESS ALL THE WAY DOWN. I FIND IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BRAKES SHOULD WORK IMMEDIATELY NOT WITH A DELAY. IN RAIN OR SNOW THE CAR HAS AN EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING WHICH HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN A FEW ACCIDENTS. I REALLY BELIEVE THEIR NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS OUR FAMILY'S CAR AND I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ALONE, MUCH LESS WITH MY CHILDREN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANDERSON FORD (2500 WILDCAT DR, LINCOLN, NE) TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V046000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER REPLACED THE AIR BAG INFLATOR. AFTER THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD, WHICH HOUSED THE AIR BAG MODULE, WAS NOT COMPLETELY SECURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,432.

TAKATA RECALL. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO FIX MY CAR?

BASICALLY, THE BRAKES ABS SEEMS TO KICK IN AND STICKS. ONCE IT DOES THE BRAKES GO TO TO THE FLOOR AND NEVER COME BACK TO NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC SEEMED TO BE A TEMPORARY FIX AND THEY HAPPENED AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER. THE BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR VERY SOFT.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR ENTERED "LIMP HOME" MODE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I HAD BARELY ENOUGH TIME TO MOVE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FROM TRAFFIC.

WHEN YOU PRESS BREAK PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BREAK PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, VERY SOTF AND THA CAR DOESN'T STOP. VERY BIG AND SERIOUS ISSUE.
