TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTORS SAYING "A REPAIR IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE." THE LETTER TOLD ME " PLEASE CALL YOUR DEALER WITHOUT DELAY AND REQUEST A SERVICE DATE FOR RECALL 16S26 TO RECEIVE YOUR FREE REPAIR." I CALLED HAWK FORD IN OAK LAWN, IL, IDENTIFIED MY RECALL AND THEY IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND COULD NOT PERFORM THE WORK. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE SAME DEALER. THE FIRST TIME I DID MISUNDERSTAND THE LETTER AND ASSUMED THE WORK COULD BE DONE. HOWEVER THE DEALER'S STAFF STILL SCHEDULED THE REPAIR AND DIDN'T HAVE THE PART. WHY IS FORD TELLING ME TO GET THIS DONE ASAP WHEN THEIR DEALERS DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND WHY IS THE DEALER SCHEDULING WORK THEY CAN'T PERFORM. I AM TOTALLY FRUSTRATED AND POWERLESS. I AM TIRED OF DRIVING A ONE-PERSON CAR! PLEASE HELP!

TAKATA RECALL: I'VE BEEN CALLING MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF SINCE I GOT THE LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL ON MY PASSENGER AIRBAG. EVERY TIME I CALL ITS ALWAYS THE SAME "WE DON'T HAVE ANY PARTS FOR THE RECALL. WE WILL NOTIFY YOU WHEN WE GET PARTS IN" AND THEY NEVER CALL BACK. I WANT TO GET THIS FIXED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER AND I THINK IVE GIVEN SIOUX CITY FORD MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO GET PARTS IN.

FORD SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE TELLING ME NOT TO ALLOW ANY PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. THIS IS MY WORK CAR AS I AM IN REAL ESTATE AND THE LOSS OF THE CAR WOULD SERIOUSLY AFFECT MY BUSINESS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO FORD LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY AND THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER CAR AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT REGARDLESS OF THE EFFECT ON MY BUSINESS. CAN YOU HELP TO DIRECT ME TO THE RIGHT AREA TO COMPLAIN.

TAKATA RECALL AS WELL AS PROBLEMS FILLING THE GAS TANK. WHILE STATIONARY TRYING TO PUMP GAS IN TO THE GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AFTER PUMPING NO ORE THAN 1/16 OF A TANK THEN REQUIRING YOU TO DRIBBLE GAS IN TO THE TANK WITH THE PUMP REGULARLY SHUTTING OFF EVERY FEW SECONDS AND NEVER FILLING THE TANK WITH OUT THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY, AND THIS HAPPENS AT ALL PUMPS IN EVERY STATE AND EVERY BRAND OF GAS. ONCE YOU PUMP AS MUCH GAS AS THE PUMP WILL ALLOW YOU HAVE TO HOLD TE THROTTLE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR TO START AND THEN YOU HAVE TO FEATHER THE PEDAL TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO RACE AND IS VERY DANGEROUS.

TAKATA RECALL--I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN JUNE OF 2016.

TAKATA RECALL. FORD SENT A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE DATED DECEMBER 2017, IN REGARDS TO A PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR: 16S26.

THE AIR BAG COULD RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT IN A CRASH AND CAUSE INJURIES OR DEATH. WHEN THE FRONT ROW PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, ELIMINATING THE RISK." FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS STATED THERE ARE NO LOANERS DUE TO THIS..JUST THAT I CANNOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, AND FIND IT RIDICULOUS MY ONLY OPTION IS TO NOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS. FORD NEEDS TO LEGALLY PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR AS THEY FEEL THEY DON'T NEED TO ASSIST THE CUSTOMERS THEY ARE PUTTING IN DANGER.

TAKATA RECALL -THIS RECALL WAS COMMUNICATED IN JULY, 2016. SINCE THEN, I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. I'M BEING TOLD THAT A REPLACEMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE.
