TAKATA RECALL DATED JAN 2016 DRIVERS AIRBAG

FRAME HAS EXTREME RUST DAMAGE. THERE ARE HOLES THROUGH THE FRAME. MY MECHANIC EXPRESSED A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE FRAME STEEL AND SAID I SHOULD GET RID OF THE TRUCK. I AM RETIRED AND USE THE TRUCK FOR MY PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION.

DUE TO EXTENSIVE RUST DAMAGE DESPITE PROPER PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME/CHASSIS OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPROMISED. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FRAME AT THE MIDWAY POINT OF THE LENGTH OF THE VEHICLE SNAPPED COMPLETELY SEPARATING INTO TWO PIECES. THE RUST DAMAGE ALSO CAUSED THE SPARE TIRE APPARATUS TO BREAK AND ALSO CAUSED THE BUMPER TO FALL OFF.

RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN LISTED AS A RECALL FOR A YEAR. WHEN WILL IT BE READY?

THE GAS ACCIDENT CUT OFF SWITCH CUT OUT RANDOMLY DURING DRIVING ON A SMOOTH FLAT ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED AS WELL AS AROUND TOWN AT SLOWER SPEED. A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD HAVE HAD A DEADLY. ACCIDENT. I RESET IT SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO REPLACE IT. FORD SHOULD HAVE HAD A RE-CALL ON THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE THE OLD SWITCH IF IT IS NEEDED.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS TO RECEIVE THE "INTERIM" REPLACEMENT FOR MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG, AND I HAVE FELT UNSAFE IN DRIVING MY VEHICLE SINCE I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR. I'VE BROUGHT MY TRUCK (2005 FORD RANGER) INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP 3 SEPARATE TIMES, AND EACH TIME THEY'VE RETURNED IT TO ME WITHOUT FIXING ANYTHING BECAUSE THE PART FOR THE INTERIM REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN ON BACKORDER. THIS IS IN HOUSTON, TX, SO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PRIORITY REGION DUE TO EXTREMELY HIGH HUMIDITY. I HAVE TRIED EVERY POSSIBLE AVENUE TO GET A LOANER VEHICLE, BY CALLING FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (STERLING MCCALL FORD IN HOUSTON, TX). I KNOW THAT HONDA IS ISSUING LOANER VEHICLES, DESPITE HAVING MANY MORE MODELS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. IT IS CLEAR THAT HONDA CARES MORE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS' SAFETY THAN FORD, BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO ISSUE LOANER VEHICLES FOR THIS RECALL. I REFUSE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK OR ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THIS LEAVES ME WITHOUT A VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I URGE NHTSA TO PUT PRESSURE ON FORD TO PROVIDE LOANER VEHICLES, AS HONDA HAS DONE, TO SHOW THAT THEY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS' SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL I RRECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND HAVE YET TO BE CALLED TO WITH AN REASON WHY, WHEN OR HOW THE MY PROBLEM WII BE SOLVED. DON'T GET RETURN CALLS FROM THE DEALER. IS THERE A POSSIBLE TIME ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN I WILL NBE NOTIFIED OF TJHE STATUS OFR THESE SITUATION?

BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND AFTER ITS FIRST WINTER, WAS ALREADY SHOWING SEVERE RUSTING ON THE FRAME, NOW 11 YEARS LATER THE REAR FRAME IS RUSTED SO SEVERELY THAT THE REAR SPRING SHACKLES MOUNTING BRACKETS HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE METAL ON THE REAR FRAME RAILS IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND PERFORATED WHERE THE SPRING SHACKLE BRACKETS ATTACH TO THE FRAME, ALSO THE SPARE TIRE HOIST ASSEMBLY THAT HOLDS THE SPARE UNDER THE TRUCK , HAS ALSO FAILED AND IS DANGEROUS, CAN NO LONGER USE IT AS SPARE TIRE IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD OF FALLING OFF THE TRUCK THAT COULD SEVERELY INJURE OR KILL ANOTHER MOTORIST SHOULD IT FALL OFF THE TRUCK AND STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE OR FLY THROUGH SOMEONES WINDSHIELD. NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE THAT FORD RECALL THESE TRUCKS, AND BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE FRAMES, SIMILAR TO THE TOYOTA TUNDRA RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO FOR RUST PROBLEMS ON THEIR FRAMES, A TRUCK FRAME SHOULD NOT RUST AWAY ON A 2005 RANGER THAT HAS 98,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT! FORD FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY CORROSION PROTECTION ON THESE RANGER TRUCK FRAMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD RANGER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD A 6 YEAR OLD PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER INJURED HER NECK, BACK, ARM, AND RIBS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 197,154.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON 7/16/15 THAT MY 2005 FORD RANGER WAS AFFECTED BY RECALL 15S22. I THEN RECEIVED A NOTICE ON 12/7/15 THAT THE REPAIR PARTS WERE BECOMING AVAILABLE. I WAS IN CONTACT WITH A LOCAL FORD DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND AFTER THE REPAIR PARTS ARRIVED, I MADE A 2/15/16 APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE NAME OF THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE REPAIRS IS SUNSET FORD. ON 2/15/16, THE REPAIR WAS MADE ON CUSTOMER NUMBER 71758, AND INVOICE NUMBER FOCS185790. HOWEVER, AFTER THE REPAIR PARTS WERE INSTALLED, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. THIS HADN'T HAPPENED BEFORE THE REPAIR WAS DONE. THEN THERE WERE E-MAIL COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND A FORD AGENT. THE AGENT STATED THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND EXPLAINED THAT A FUSE NEEDED TO BE REMOVED TO DE-POWER THE SYSTEM, AND THEN RETURNED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TRIED, THERE WAS A BATTERY DISCONNECT, AND A FIX DIDN'T WORK. A SWITCH, OR CIRCUIT, OR SOMETHING ELSE ISN'T WORKING. THE COST TO FIX THE NEW FAILURE IS $253.99, AND FORD WON'T COVER IT. I DECLINED PAY FOR THIS NEW FAILURE, AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WITH AN AIRBAG DASH LIGHT THAT INITIALLY BLINKS, AND THEN STAYS ON. THIS VEHICLE MAY BE MORE UNSAFE TO DRIVE NOW, THAN IT WAS WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY TAKEN-IN FOR SAFETY REPAIRS! 1. DID FORD PROVIDE ADEQUATE TRAINING FOR REPAIRS ON RECALL 15S22? 2. DID THE REPAIRS FOR 15S22 CREATE A FAILURE FOR SOMETHING ELSE? 3. IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT SHOULD BE RECAL
