TAKATA RECALL- FORD DEALERSHIP STILL HAS NO REMEDY FOR REPLACEMENTS EVEN THOUGH THIS RECALL WAS FROM 6-1-2016. RECALL NUMBER 16V384 FORD RECALL NUMBER 16S26. WE CALLED AS SOON AS WE RECEIVED NOTICE AND WERE TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT US WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. AS OF TODAY, 10-31-17, WE HAVE YET TO GET ANY NOTICE AND WHEN YOU GO ON LINE TO FORD DEALERSHIP, IT STILL STATES PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. (RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.) THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AS THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE AT TIME OF RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A DEER HIT IN OCTOBER 2017 WHICH CAUSED MY AIRBAG TO DEFLATE IMPROPERLY. THE PLASTIC RUPTURED, THE AIRBAG ONLY PARTIALLY INFLATED AND THE PLASTIC CAME BACK AND PUNCTURED MY STOMACH. IF I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD MY SEATBELT ON, IT WOULD HAVE GONE DEEP INTO MY STOMACH, POSSIBLY CAUSING SURGERY. I NEVER RECEIVED AN AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I HAD PURCHASED IN THE TRUCK IN DECEMBER 2014. MY VEHICLE ENDED UP TOTALED IN THE ACCIDENT, BUT I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE INFLATION OF THE AIRBAG.

"TAKATA RECALL" NOTIFIED IN JULY 2016 THAT PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. TOLD THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IN JUNE 2017 AND TOLD THE PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND THIS WAS NOT REALLY A SAFETY HAZARD AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. RECEIVED A LETTER TODAY FROM FORD THAT THEY WANT ME TO VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATE IN AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RESEARCH STUDY" TO "REPLACE THE TAKATA DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR FREE"/ "THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL". SO THEY HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AND AFTER 16 MONTHS FORD STILL HASN'T THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. SOMETHING IS WRONG AT FORD/

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY, 2016 AND HAVE YET TO GET MY AIRBAG REPLACED. ON OCTOBER 26, 2017 (OVER A YEAR LATER) I PHONED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP HERE IN COLUMBUS, GA (RIVERTOWN FORD @ 706-653-7420) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER FOR FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS CENTER (800-392-3673) WHEREUPON I PHONED AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. MY HUSBAND DRIVES A TOYOTA COROLLA WITH THE SAME RECALL NOTICE. HE IS GETTING HIS REPAIRED ON 10/28/17 THROUGH RIVERTOWN TOYOTA, COLUMBUS, GA. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD IS NOT EXPEDITING THIS REPAIR SINCE IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN REGARDING LIFE OR DEATH WITH THE AIRBAG POSSIBLY RUPTURING IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.
