TAKATA RECALL 16V-384 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ON 4/16/18 STATING THAT "A REPAIR FOR YOUR 2007 FORD RANGERS AIRBAG INFLATOR IS AVAILABLE", AND TO CALL MY DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE NOW CALLED 4 DEALERSHIPS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE AIRBAG. I RECEIVED THE SAME LETTER FROM FORD FOR MY 2009 MERCURY MILAN OVER 2 YEARS AGO AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR PARTS FOR THAT VEHICLE. WTF!!! WHY SEND A LETTER IF THERE ISN'T ANY PARTS AT DEALERSHIPS??? I DO THINK THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE STEPPED ON BY THE US GOVERNMENT TO GET THEM OFF THEIR COLLECTIVE GLUTEUS MAXIMUSES AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR ELSE FACE HEAVY PENALTIES. USUALLY, WHEN UNCLE SAM CALLS, THINGS GET DONE. MY 2009 MERCURY MILAN HAS 15000 MILES ON IT, HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE GARAGE SINCE SEPT. 2017 BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY FORD EMPLOYEES THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THE AIRBAG EXPLODING, BUT, THAT DOES LITTLE TO ASSUAGE MY FEAR. NOW MY OTHER VEHICLE(THE ONLY ONE I HAVE LEFT) HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND FORD IS ALREADY STARTING WITH THEIR FAKE RECALL LETTERS & LACK OF PARTS PROBLEM. THIS IS BULL-SH-T!!! SO MUCH FOR "BUYING AMERICAN".......MAYBE ITS TIME TO GO SHOPPING FOR THAT HONDA/MITSUBISHI/TOYOTA/HYUNDAI.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
