TAKATA RECALL I JUST RECEIVED MY SECOND RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. THE FIRST ONE ARRIVED OVER A YEAR AGO. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE REPAIR MADE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THERE WERE PARTS FOR ONLY HALF OF THE INFLATORS ON THE TRUCK. THEY WOULD MAKE THE REPAIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT THEY HAD THE PARTS FOR AND I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK WHEN I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I JUST RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE SAYING THAT BOTH INFLATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO ONLY BE TOLD THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND CALL BACK IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

TAKATA RECALL I HAD ONE OF THE AIR BAGS RECALLED REPLACED ON MARCH 21, 2016. MY DEALER PAPERWORK SHOWS THAT ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. YOUR WEB SITE USING MY VIN NUMBER SHOWS THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS ARE COMPLETE [2]. THIS IS NOT TRUE AND I WOULD LIKE SOME ACTION ON NHTSA TO SHOW THE DRIVERS SIDE STILL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TAMARA RECALL: I CONTACTED JIM FALK'S VALLEY ISLE FORD DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS FORD CONSUMER HOTLINE FOR RESOLUTIONS TO GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2005, AND LIVE ON A DIFFERENT ISLAND TO WHERE THE DEALERSHIP IS LOCATED. THEY WANT ME TO SHIP MY ONLY VEHICLE TO THEM TO FIX THE AIRBAGS, WHICH COULD TAKE A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME LEAVING ME CAR-LESS FOR ROUGHLY 2 TO 3 WEEKS, AT MY EXPENSE. THEY WILL NOT FIX OR REPLACE THE AIRBAGS FOR ME WHICH WILL COST ME ROUGHLY $500 - $1500 FOR SHIPPING AND OR RENTAL CAR COSTS, AND I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM THEM AGAIN. THEY WON'T EVEN SHIP A REPAIR PERSON OVER TO REPLACE IT. WHAT AM I TO DO?
