TAKATA RECALL JULY 2016 I RECEIVE A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THERE IS A RECALL ON MY TRUCK AND PARTS TO FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE SHORTLY. NOW 18 MONTHS LATER I RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER STATING PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING 2018. THE LETTER STATES "DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FIRST ROW PASSENGER SEAT." I CONTACTED THE NUMBER IN THE LETTER AND INFORMED THEM I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY 2008 RANGER THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE GENTLEMAN'S TRUCK WHO DIED AFTER STRIKING A COW IN SOUTH CAROLINA. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING FORD CAN DO. NO LOANER IS AVAILABLE, AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING FORD WOULD INVESTIGATE AND "TAKE CARE OF IT." SO IF I DIE THEY WRITE A CHECK? HOW MUCH IS ONE HUMAN LIFE GOING FOR THESE DAYS? WHEN WILL YOU PUT PRESSURE OF FORD TO EXPEDITE THESE REPAIRS OR PROVIDE LOANERS? I HAVE NOW LOST THE USE OF HALF OF MY TRUCK. I CANNOT LET MY CHILDREN, MY SPOUSE, MY PETS, OR EVEN MY BACKPACK RIDE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT.

"TAKATA RECALL" - I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JULY 2016 INFORMING ME OF THIS RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER SHIP SEVERAL TIMES ASKING WHEN THIS WAS GOING TO BE FIXED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT PROBABLY NEVER WOULD BE. I WENT TO FORD.COM AND DID A CHAT WITH AN AGENT THAT FED ME CANNED RESPONSES THAT TOLD ME THERE WERE ISSUES FINDING A SUPPLIER TO MAKE THE PARTS AND THERE WAS NO WHERE TO ESCALATE THE ISSUE AND I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER IN THE MAIL WHEN PARTS WERE RECEIVED. I AM VERY CONCERNED BY FORDS NEGLIGENCE IN DEALING WITH THIS RECALL. HOW CAN THEY SEND ME A LETTER SAYING IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG MAY KILL ME AND NOT DO ANYTHING FOR A YEAR AND A HALF TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HOW CAN I GET HELP IN GETTING THIS RECALL COMPLETED?
