"TAKATA RECALL" IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED THE "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FROM FORD TELLING ME MY VEHICLE HAD THE FAULTY PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG AND TO TAKE IT TO MY DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR. HAVING BEEN INFORMED THAT THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS FAULTY I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO HAVE ANY RIDE AS A PASSENGER BECAUSE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND INJURED SOMEONE I WOULD BE AT FAULT AND MY INSURANCE WOULD NOT COVER ME. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE CONCERNING THE AIRBAG IN OCTOBER AND ALSO INFO THAT TAKATA WAS FILING BANKRUPTCY. THE DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. I WOULD IMAGINE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS IN THIS SITUATION. CAN ANYONE DO ANYTHING ABOUT GETTING PARTS TO THE DEALERS TO MAKE REPAIRS? I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE USED AS DESIGNED.

TAKATA RECALL, IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND FIVE MONTHS SINCE THERE WAS A "SAFETY" RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE, YET " FORD MOTOR COMPANY UNDERSTANDS THAT THE VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THE RECENT TAKATA RECALL ARE SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE YOU ARE WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS." THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EITHER THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE OR NOT. IF THE VEHICLE IS "SAFE TO DRIVE," THEN WHY HAVE A RECALL? IF IT ISN'T SAFE, THEN SEVENTEEN MONTHS (AND COUNTING) IS FAR TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR A REMEDY.

TAKATA RECALL - IN DECEMBER OF 2016, I CONTACTED : ORCHID ISLE AUTO CENTER, KONA BRANCH, 76-6319 KUAKINI HIGHWAY, KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII 96740, BECAUSE OF AN AIRBAG RECALL I RECEIVED FROM TAKATA IN JULY OF 2016 FOR MY FORD RANGER. ATTACHED IS MY EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS WITH ORCHID ISLE FORD, SINCE THEN. IN SHORT, THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED MY AIRBAG AND I CANNOT SELL MY VEHICLE. DEAR ORCHID ISLE, BECAUSE OUR RANGER IS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD AND IN THE PAST, YOU HAVE SUGGESTED WE SELL IT ON OUR OWN, WE HAVE PUT OUT SOME FEELERS. UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAG, IT HAS CREATED A SITUATION FOR US IN SELLING THIS TRUCK. ALMOST A YEAR AGO, I WROTE TO YOU AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE TWICE AND CALLED YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, LIKE YOU SUGGESTED. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY COULD NOT HELP US THEN AND NOW, A YEAR LATER, THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART. WE RECEIVED A NOTICE OF FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY BY TAKATA, WHICH SAYS WE ARE STILL SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A FREE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT BY THE FORD DEALER THAT SOLD US THE VEHICLE AND IF NOT, THEY HAVE TOLD ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. HERE IS OUR DILEMMA. OUR VEHICLE THAT IS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD, HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. IT LOOKS LIKE IT JUST CAME OUT OF THE SHOWROOM AND YET, WE CANNOT SELL IT. WE AGREE, WE COULD PROBABLY PASS IT OFF TO SOME UNSUSPECTING BUYER, BUT THAT WOULD BE UNETHICAL AND WE WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER IT. CAN YOU PLEASE ASSIST US WITH THIS AIRBAG REPLACEMENT? FROM: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> TO: [email protected] SENT: MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 2017 11:57 AM SUBJECT: RE: HAU'OLI MAKAHIKI HOU! ALOHA, CHRISTINE JUST CALL OUR SERVICE DEPT, 326-5655, & THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. ALL THE BEST FOR 2017 KONA BILL

TAKATA AIR BAGS: I WAS NOTIFIED BY FORD OF MY VEHICLE HAVING DANGEROUS AIRBAGS, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, DIEHL FORD, IN BELLINGHAM, WA SEVERAL TIMES. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I WILL RECEIVE NOTICE BY MAIL WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVE. I WAS NOTIFIED IN MARCH, 2017, AND THE TIME SEEMS EXTREME. I AM AFRAID OF THE RISK THIS PUTS TO ME AND MY FAMILY.
