IT STATES THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL PROBLEM, YET DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO PARTS AND DONT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET MORE. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT HELPFUL AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IN THE PAST, WHEN I HAVE ASKED TO BE PUT ON A LIST, I NEVER GET A CALL BACK. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE FORD DEALERSHIPS ARE BEING ATTENTIVE AND THE FORD CUSTOMER SERIVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IVE CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AUTOMATED LINE AND IT DOESNT EVEN RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN RECALL NUMBER 17S42....AND THEN IT HANGS UP ON ME. I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS...MAYBE LONGER.

LIGHT FOR AIRBAG ON

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION FROM FORD. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES @ FORD.COM.

I WAS WATCHING THE NEWS ON TV AND THERE WAS A SEGMENT THAT WARNED "NOT TO DRIVE YOUR 2006 FORD RANGER" DUE TO A FAULTY AIR BAGS. I TRIED TO CONTACT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. IS THIS A BOGUS RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL EARLY IN 2016. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED ON 4/22/2016. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY CAME AVAILABLE. I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON A REGULAR BASIS, ALWAYS BEING TOLD NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW JANUARY OF 2018 AND THE LOCAL NEWS MEDIA IS REPORTING THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE THERE VEHICLES DUE TO THE DANGER OF THE AIR BAG. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATES THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL. I NEED MY VEHICLE FOR WORK AND FEEL THIS WHOLE MATTER HAS TAKEN ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TIME.

TAKATA RECALL ON 01/11/2018 I WENT TO THE SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE TO VERIFY THE TAKATA RECALL ON MY 2006 FORD RANGER. AFTER I VERIFIED IT, I CONTACTED THE WEST-HERR FORD DEALERSHIP IN HAMBURG, NY, TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD BY THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE PARTS REQUIRED TO FIX THE RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AT LEAST 02/28/2018. A RENTAL VEHICLE WAS NOT OFFERED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING THE LOCAL NEWS IS URGING OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES NOT TO DRIVE THEM UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I EVEN CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE 1-800-392-3673 AND WAS GIVEN THE SAME RUN AROUND EXCUSE. NO RENTAL VEHICLE OFFERED. I ALSO CONTACTED DAVE SMITH FORD IN WILLIAMSVILLE, NY, AND WAS TOLD YET AGAIN THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I WASN'T OFFERED A RENTAL NOR WAS I EVEN GIVEN A POSSIBLE DATE AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO ME! FORD HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO GET THESE PARTS OUT TO DEALERSHIPS. OWNERS ARE BEING TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES AND TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP COME AND TOW THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IN THE MEANTIME WE ARE EXPECTED TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT THE NEXT TIME WE DRIVE OUR TRUCKS IT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL US BECAUSE THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE!

TAKATA RECALL. IN SPITE OF THE STATEMENTS BY FORD REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF AIR BAGS, DAVE SINCLAIR FORD IN ST. LOUIS PER CHERYL ROBISON DOES NOT HAVE PARTS AND HOPES TO HAVE BY MONDAY.

THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 108,000 MILES. IN ADDITION THE SIDE STEPS RUSTED THROUGH AND WERE HANGING DOWN, I HAD TO REMOVE THEM TO PREVENT THEM FROM FALLING OFF.

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR A RECALL ON MY RANGERS AIRBAGS AND FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS AND HAD IT REPLACED BY MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. A MONTH AGO WHILE THE RANGER BEING PARKED AT A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT I OBSERVED ANOTHER PARKED CAR REVERSING BACK INTO THE FRONT END OF THE RANGER CAUSING NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE RANGER, ONLY TO HAVE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS TO INFLATE PREMATURELY. THIS MERE IMPACT SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO INFLATE IN THE MANNER THAT IT DID.
