I HAVE BEEN PATIENT, HOWEVER WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED ASAP. THIS IS THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO MY PLACE OF RESIDENCE.

I'VE RECEIVED NUMEROUS LETTERS CLAIMING THAT MY RANGER IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. AS INSTRUCTED, I CALLED RICHMOND FORD LINCOLN TO SCHEDULE A TOW AND REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG. ON FIRST ATTEMPT, I WAS GIVEN A WINDOW OF TIME THAT A TOW TRUCK DRIVER WOULD ARRIVE TO TOW THE TRUCK AND TOLD I DIDN'T NEED TO BE PRESENT WITH THE KEY IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE TOW. IT NEVER ARRIVED AND I NEVER RECEIVED ANY WORD FROM THE DEALERSHIP. A WEEK LATER I CALLED AGAIN WAS ROUTED TO A FEW INDIVIDUALS WITH THE THIRD TELLING ME THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULDN'T ARRIVE UNTIL AUGUST - THREE MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF THE CALL. I'VE CONTINUED TO RECEIVE MAIL DESCRIBING IN GREAT DETAIL HOW DEADLY THIS SITUATION IS AND DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE ANY RECOURSE AT THIS POINT. ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP REMEDY THE SITUATION AND PROTECT THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY PASSENGERS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

TAKATA RECALL: AIR BAG INFLATORS WERE REPLACED ON 4/5/18. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN LIT EVER SINCE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EDDY(ID# 73042) WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR THE REPEAT REPAIR. I HAVE A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT OPEN, CAS 14958575-P7N4C3. I FOLLOWED UP WITH THE DEALER AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. THE RANGER IS FLASHING A CODE 34(DRIVER AIR BAG). AM I SUPPOSED TO BE CONTENT THAT THE KILLER AIR BAG WAS CHANGE FOR A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG? DEALER INVOICE THE DATE AS 3/5/18, NOT CORRECT.

TAKATA RECALLMESSAGE: I DRIVE A 2006 FORD RANGER. I WOULD GUESS YOU KNOW ABOUT THE AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL AND THE DEATHS INVOLVED WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WELL, I HAD BOTH THE INFLATORS REPLACED IN 2016. SO NOW I GOT ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE THAT I HAVE TO HAVE BOTH THOSE INFLATORS REPLACED AGAIN. SO EVEN AFTER I HAD THOSE INFLATORS REPLACED TWO YEARS AGO, I NEED TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AGAIN. DID THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE INFLATORS WITH TWO MORE DEFECTIVE INFLATORS? HAVE I BEEN DRIVING AROUND, STILL, WITH INFLATORS THAT COULD KILL ME? NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER. ALSO, WHY WAS THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY ALLOWED TO REPLACE BAD INFLATORS WITH BAD INFLATORS? THE NEW RECALL FROM FORD TELLS ME THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, YET, THEY HAVE NO PARTS.(I SAW MY DEALER YESTERDAY) SO NOW I AM STILL DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD POSSIBLY KILL ME WITH A DEVICE THAT WAS MEANT TO SAVE ME. I DON'T HAVE THE CHOICE OF JUST PARKING MY TRUCK UNTIL FORD FEELS LIKE GETTING THE PARTS. AND LASTLY, SINCE FORD PUT BAD INFLATORS IN MY RANGER TWO YEARS AGO, HOW DO I KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN ONCE T MY DEALER GETS THE PARTS? PLEASE, ANY HELP ON YOUR PART WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TAKATA RECALL, MY COMPLAINT IS THE RUN AROUND THAT I GET FROM FORD. I HAVE CALLED AND DONE EVERYTHING THAT FORD HAS ASKED ME TO DO. I GET THE SAME ANSWER, CALL YOUR DEALER AND THEY CAN HELP. OF COURSE THE DEALER CAN NOT HELP SINCE THEY CAN NOT GET THE PARTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW FORD IS BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THIS MESS. FORD TELLS ME NOT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BUT THE DEALER CAN NOT SUPPLY A LOANER. WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM DRIVING IT AND SOMEONE GETS HURTS, WHO IS AT FAULT FOR WHATEVER COULD HAPPEN?????? I FEEL THEY WAY FORD IS PASSING THE BUCK ONTO THE DEALER NOT RIGHT AND IN TURN THE CONSUMER PAYS FOR THE MESS. WHAT AS A CONSUMER CAN I DO TO GET SOMETHING DONE?? THANK YOU
