"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ON BOTH OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE (ONE IN DECEMBER 2015 FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE OTHER IN FEBRUARY 2016 FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE). I DID NOT DO ANYTHING IN DECEMBER 2015 SINCE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COULD BE TURNED OFF. WHEN I GOT THE SECOND NOTICE ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE, I CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY RATHER THAN RISK INJURING SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED ON NOVEMBER 10, 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE MY AIRBAGS WITHOUT AN AUTHORIZATION FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY SINCE I HAD TAKEN THE DEPLOYMENT CANISTER OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND DISCARDED IT. I DID THIS BECAUSE I STILL NEEDED TO USE THE COVERING INSERT IN MY STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY "FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP/ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE" AT PHONE # 1-800-392-3673. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THEY HAD TO HAVE THE RECALLED AIRBAG CANISTER TO GET CREDIT FOR REPLACING IT. SO NEITHER OF MY AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. DO I HAVE ANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED, AT THIS POINT, OTHER THAN PAYING THE COST OF REPAIR MYSELF?

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED NOTICE IN DEC 2017 THAT MY VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE & THAT FORD WOULD PAY FOR REPAIR. END OF FEB 2018, LOCAL DEALER STILL HAS NO PARTS.

I AM FORCED TO: A) RISK BLOODY DEATH BY SHRAPNEL EXPLODING AIRBAGS; B) NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE WHICH DEPRIVES ME OF ESSENTIAL TRANSPORTATION & THE USE OF MY RIGHTFUL PROPERTY; OR C) DISABLE THE AIRBAGS & RELY ONLY ON SEATBELTS AS WE DID IN THE OLDEN DAYS.

TAKATA RECALL. LOCAL FORD DEALER INDICATES THAT, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE POSES A THREAT TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS, THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. AM BEING TOLD THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF PARTS AND THAT THEY CAN ONLY GET SO MANY PER MONTH.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS TRUCK. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT IN RENO NEVADA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR ANOTHER MONTH AND A HALF. IS IT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL THEN?

TAKATA RECALL I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER (ONEONTA FORD IN ONEONTA NY) AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE AIRBAG ISSUE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS CALL THEM BACK ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO SEE IF THEY EVEN GET A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN FORD SENDS THEM OUT. AT THE TIME OF THE CALL THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS IN STOCK NOR COULD THEY PUT ME ON SOME SORT OF LIST TO CALL ME WHEN THEY GET THEM BACK IN STOCK. THEY SAID THEY HAD CUSTOMERS WAITING MONTHS ALREADY. I SAID I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY TRUCK WITH POSSIBLY DEADLY AIRBAGS AND THEY OFFERED NOTHING. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND THEY ARE THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER. THEIR INFO IS: ONEONTA FORD, ONEONTA NY, PHONE 607-431-7300. I FEEL THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE TO A POTENTIAL DEADLY ISSUE. I FEEL AS IF I WAS "BRUSHED OFF" DURING THE PHONE CALL.

I CAN'T GET MY VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL. I WILL HAVE TO TAKE OFF WORK AND LOOSE A DAYS PAY. MY WIFE IS VERY SICK AND I NEED TO BE WITH HER WHEN I AM HOME. NO DEALER NEAR ME WILL WORK WITH ME.

GETTING THE RUNAROUND. I WEIGH 96 POUNDS AND AM 70 YEARS OLD. IF BAG IS DEFECTIVE THEN I WILL BE ONE OF THE DEATH STATISTIC. I ALREADY THINK WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH AIRBAG.

I CONTACTED COWLES FORD IN WOODBRIDGE, VA IN APRIL, 2017 ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY TOOK DOWN MY VIN, SAID THEY WOULD ORDERS THE PARTS, SAID IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN.

I GOT A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE KILLED PEOPLE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET. FORD IS STATING IN THE NEWS THAT WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING A RENTAL AND THE FORD HOTLINE HAS HUNG UP ON ME SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TO A PERSON. MY SON HAS THE CAR TO GET TO SCHOOL AND NOW HAS NO WAY TO DO THAT. I NEED A REPAIR OR A RENTAL RIGHT AWAY.

TAKATA RECALL - THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FROM MANUFACTURER SINCE SAFETY RECALL ISSUED IN JULY 2016. FORD IS RECOMMENDING TO "NOT DRIVE" VEHICLE AS THIS IS NOT SAFE. THIS IS ONLY OPERATING VEHICLE I UTILIZE FOR TRANSPORTATION. WHEN WILL THE MANUFACTURER HAVE A REPLACEMENT PART?

"TAKATA RECALL " WHELL I AM LUCKY NOTHING VERY SERIOUS HAS HAPPENED WITH THESE RECALLED AIRBAGS. THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME AND BY LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT THE AIRBAGS

TAKATA RECALL: JULY 2015: RECEIVED LETTER FROM FORD AND I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. NOVEMBER 2017: CALLED SEVERAL FORD DEALERS IN KANSAS CITY AREA AND PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

I DID RECEIVE A LETTER ABOUT FOURS YEARS AGO AND NO FORD DEALER AROUND HERE WOULD HELP ME OUT WITH THIS RECALL. NO RECALL WAS DONE ON THIS TRUCK .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD RANGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THE FAILURE RECURRED A THIRD TIME AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE INERTIA SWITCH. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

FORD RANGER 2005 4 CYLINDER FUEL CUTOFF SAFETY SWITCH CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING, FIRST TIME IN 2012 WHILE OUT OF STATE, TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, TRIED TO PULL OVER, BUT NOT MUCH OF A ROAD SHOULDER. I HAD IT TOWED 11 MILES TO AN UNFAMILIAR GARAGE THAT, REPLACED THE SWITCH FOR $360. IN 2015 SWITCH FAILED, TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND REPAIRED. I BELIEVE THEY RESET THE SAFETY SWITCH AND CHARGED $70 DOLLARS. RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, FOUND OUT THE SWITCH IS PROBABLY DEFECTIVE AND CAN BE RESET. I CANNOT START MY VEHICLE MORE THAN THREE TIMES WITHOUT RESETTING THE SWITCH. THE FORD DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP FOR $850. I DOUBT THAT IS THE PROPER FIX. THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING AND QUITE DANGEROUS. I DON'T KNOW WHY FORD IS TURNING AWAY FROM THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN THE NUMBER OF OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. I LOVE MY TRUCK, I HATE THE INCONVENIENCE. THERE ARE OTHER MODELS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE CUTOFF CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME, WHILE IN MOTION OR STANDING STILL.

THE FRAME UNDER THE TRUCK ESPECIALLY THE REAR IS LITERALLY RUSTING AWAY. THE CROSS MEMBERS THAT HOLD THE FUEL TANK ARE SEVERELY RUSTED AND OVER HALFWAY GONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE HAS 37850 MILES LOOKS LIKE NEW AND THE FRAME HAS ROTTED AWAY SPRING HANGERS AND THE COMPLETE FRAME ITSELF YOU CAN PUT YOUR FINGERS THROUGH IT AND GAS TANK STRAPS ALSO GONE
