FORD REPLIED WITH A FORM LETTER ON 9/29/2016 AND ASSIGNED CASE # CAS-10670226-D7R4V2. THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT THE AIRBAG. I WROTE TO MY LOCAL DEALER ON 2/28/17 AND RECEIVED A TELEPHONE REPLY A WEEK OR SO LATER, SINCE THEN NOTHING. IT HAS NOW BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND FORD HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT WHAT IS DESCRIBED BY NATSA AS POSSIBLY CAUSING "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." I AM AFRAID EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND I WILL NOT LET MY GRANDCHILDREN IN IT. I WANT THE VEHICLE REPAIRED OR REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL ON JUNE 1, 2016. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION IN ANY FORM BY FORD CORPORATE. FORD DEALER DID NOT HELP IN ANY WAY. I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH THE RISK OF AN EXPLODING TAKADA AIR BAG INFLATOR FOR NEARLY 11 MONTHS. HIGH RISK OF INJURY. NO INJURY TO DATE.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE TICKING NOISE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE AIR BAGS BUT THE TICKING NOISE IS DEFINTELY COMING FROM THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LOCATION. I HAVE NOT HAD A REPAIR TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSE THE TROUBLE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR REPAIRS IF IT IS AN AIR BAG ISSUE.

TAKATA INFLATORS - WHEN CAN I EXPECT A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM? IT HAS BEEN ALMOST NINE (9) MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. OTHER COMPANIES HAVE RESOLVED THIS PROBLEM IN MUCH LESS TIME. OUR HONDA WAS REPAIRED IN LESS THAN TWO(2) MONTHS AND HONDA ALSO PROVIDED US WITH A RENTAL UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL FOR MY TRUCK EARLY IN 2016. WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED, THEY TOLD ME THEY DON,T HAVE THE PARTS AND MAY TAKE A WHILE, BUT SAID THE TRUCK WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. IN THE MEAN TIME I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK SINCE IT WAS MY MAIN MODE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR WORK. ONE NIGHT DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE THAT I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER, SOMETHING THAT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG WERE DEPLOYED. MY PASSENGER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A MINOR CONCUSSION AND STILL SUFFERING FROM MIGRAINES. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN FOR MANY CARS AND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS DRIVING AROUND WITH THEIR AND THEIR PASSENGERS LIVES AT RISK. YOU CAN NOT STOP SOMEONE ELSE HITTING YOU WHILE DRIVING ALONG. THIS IS A BUG ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO GET RESOLVED BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET HURT OR WORSE. AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSE TO KEEP US SAFE AND PROTECT US FROM GETTING HURT NOT CAUSING INJURIES.

FOR 8 MONTHS I HAVE TRIED TO GET MY RECALL FIXED AND THE PARTS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND I WOULD LIKE THIS RECALL ADDRESSED.

I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY 2016 OF THE AIRBAG RECALL ON MY 2007 FORD RANGER. THE FORD CORRESPONDENCE SAID I'D BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. I WAITED. IT'S NOW NOVEMBER, 4 MONTHS LATER AND NO CONTACT. I HAVE TRIED TO REACH OUT TO FORD BUT ALAS, THEIR JULY LETTER HAS NO CONTACT INFORMATION OTHER THAN A HTTP://OWNER.FORD.COM/TAKATA WEB PAGE. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING ON THE WEB PAGE ABOUT THE RECALL. PLENTY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE ETC, BUT NOTHING ABOUT A RECALL. INDEED WHILE I'M TYPING THIS, I'M WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO COME TO AN ON-LINE CHAT ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. IT'S BEEN 20 MINUTES. I'VE BEEN MINIMIZING USE OF THIS VEHICLE AS I OFTEN HAVE MY YOUNG SON WITH ME ON OUTINGS BUT I DO HAVE TO USE IT SOMETIMES WITH HIM AND AM BECOMING EVER MORE CONCERNED THAT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THERE IS A DISASTER AND WE BECOME ANOTHER STATISTIC WITH THESE TAKATA AIR BAGS. HELP!!! WHAT DO I DO? WHO DO I CONTACT?

TAKATA RECALL SO THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL. CALLED A FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY DONT KNOW WHEN ONE WILL BECOME AVAILABE. I ASKED THEM WHAT FORD IS DOING FOR ITS CUSTOMERS SEEING AS THE AIR BAGS IF DEPLOYED COULD KILL YOU OR SERIOUS INJURY. THEIR SIMPLE RESPONSE WAS WAIT ON THE REMEDY. BUT GM HAD A MASSIVE RECALL THEY SUPPLIED CUSTOMERS WITH EITHER A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE REMEDY BECAME AVAILABLE OR TRADED THEM OUT OF THE VEHICLES THEY WERE IN. REALLY FORD NOTHING TO PROTECT YOURSELVES OR YOUR "CUSTOMERS"!!!

WHILE TRYING TO START MY 07 FORD RANGER IT LOST MOST OF ITS POWER ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE ONLY POWER I CAN GET IS ON AUXILIARY (TURNING THE KEY BACK) BUT EVEN THEN ALL I GET ARE WIPERS, DOME LIGHT AND RADIO. THEN WHEN I TURN THE KEY OFF THE FUSE BOXES MAKE A TICKING NOISE. AFTER TESTING ALL FUSES AND CONNECTIONS I FOUND THAT OUT OF 56 TOTAL FUSES (BOTH UNDER THE HOOD AND IN THE CAB) ALL THE FUSES WERE OK BUT 24 OF THE CONNECTIONS WEREN'T RECEIVING POWER. I CAN UNDERSTAND BLOWING FUSES AND MAYBE EVEN A FEW CONNECTIONS BUT TO LOSE THAT MUCH POWER AT ONCE DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. I'VE ALSO FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW REPORTS FOR FORDS 2007 ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BUT AFTER CALLING FORDS CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM (AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTED TO RAPE ME FOR $1000 WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT) I FIGURED SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR
