"TAKATA RECALL" I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH QUIRK FORD IN HALLOWELL MAINE TO COMPLETE RECALL 17S42 ON JANUARY 31, 2018. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS RECALL. THEY SAID TO CHECK BACK BY END OF FEBRUARY TO SEE IF PARTS WERE IN. I CALLED DEALER ON MARCH 5, 2018 AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT GET ANY IN AND THAT THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO ORDER THEM. "THEY ONLY GET SO MANY A MONTH FROM FORD" . THE RECALL LETTER AND INFO IN THE MEDIA SAYS THAT "PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE". OBVIOUSLY THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IS FORD BEING DECEPTIVE ON THE AVAILABILITY OF PARTS TO REPAIR THIS RECALL?

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. FORD HAS NOT PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER CAR UNTIL MINE CAN BE MADE SAFE. THESE MANUFACTURERS HAVE FULL FORESEEABILITY THAT THEIR PRODUCT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, YET THEY FAIL TO REMEDY THIS DESIGN FLAW, THREATENING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. 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. PLEASE HELP GET PARTS TO THE MILLIONS OF CONSUMERS WHO SHOULD NOT BEAR THE BURDEN FOR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS & CORRUPT FAILURES OF GOVT OVERSIGHT. PROTECT OUR HIGHWAY SAFETY BY DEMANDING REPLACEMENT PARTS BE MADE AVAILABLE IN ALL STATES IMMEDIATELY.

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.
