TAKATA RECALL: NOT SURE WHAT A 'TIMELY MANNER' FOR REPAIR WOULD BE BUT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND WERE TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THEM UNTIL THE END OF FEBRUARY. THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS IN NASHUA, NH ARE YOU AWARE FOR THIS CONFLICT BETWEEN THE 'WITHOUT DELAY' REPAIR NOTICE AND THE FACT THAT FORD DEALERSHIPS ARE WITHOUT PARTS TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY REPAIR ASAP.

I CONTACTED COWLES FORD IN WOODBRIDGE, VA IN APRIL, 2017 ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY TOOK DOWN MY VIN, SAID THEY WOULD ORDERS THE PARTS, SAID IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN. I GOT ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE AND CALLED THEM IN DECEMBER, 2017. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAW WHERE THEY TRIED TO ORDER THE PARTS BEFORE WITH NO OTHER INFORMATION LISTED. HE TOOK DOWN MY VIN, SAID HE WOULD ORDER THE PARTS AND WOULD CALL ME IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS WHEN THEY CAME IN. HE CALLED ME BACK AND SAID HE CALLED IN TO ORDER THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT PARTS AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH, 2018 AND FOR ME TO CALL BACK MID-MARCH FOR A STATUS. I HAVE A VOICEMAIL WHERE THE DEALERSHIP STATES THIS. THE AIRBAG RECALL SAYS THE PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE AND TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND MEDIA/NEWS IS REPORTING THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RELATED DEATH RECENTLY FOR MY SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE MANUFACTURED ONE YEAR AFTER MY VEHICLE.

I GOT A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE KILLED PEOPLE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET. FORD IS STATING IN THE NEWS THAT WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING A RENTAL AND THE FORD HOTLINE HAS HUNG UP ON ME SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TO A PERSON. MY SON HAS THE CAR TO GET TO SCHOOL AND NOW HAS NO WAY TO DO THAT. I NEED A REPAIR OR A RENTAL RIGHT AWAY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FORD RANGER 2005 4 CYLINDER FUEL CUTOFF SAFETY SWITCH CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING, FIRST TIME IN 2012 WHILE OUT OF STATE, TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, TRIED TO PULL OVER, BUT NOT MUCH OF A ROAD SHOULDER. I HAD IT TOWED 11 MILES TO AN UNFAMILIAR GARAGE THAT, REPLACED THE SWITCH FOR $360. IN 2015 SWITCH FAILED, TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND REPAIRED. I BELIEVE THEY RESET THE SAFETY SWITCH AND CHARGED $70 DOLLARS. RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, FOUND OUT THE SWITCH IS PROBABLY DEFECTIVE AND CAN BE RESET. I CANNOT START MY VEHICLE MORE THAN THREE TIMES WITHOUT RESETTING THE SWITCH. THE FORD DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP FOR $850. I DOUBT THAT IS THE PROPER FIX. THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING AND QUITE DANGEROUS. I DON'T KNOW WHY FORD IS TURNING AWAY FROM THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN THE NUMBER OF OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. I LOVE MY TRUCK, I HATE THE INCONVENIENCE. THERE ARE OTHER MODELS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE CUTOFF CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME, WHILE IN MOTION OR STANDING STILL.
