In owners' own words
Takata recall I received this recall notice way over a year ago, and have been reluctant t o travel with someone in the front, passenger seat of my car since reading that it can potentially explode if the air bags were to be deployed. Like I said, I got this over a year ago and have not heard anything from Ford (I even called many times)... And a year seems like more than enough time to find a solution to this. Air bags
Takata recall.. My front passenger side air bag is half way out my indicator on my dashboard stay on cause of it and it was said that it can deploy at anytime so my kids and sometimes friend's and/or husband have to ride in the back cause they're afraid of the airbag might deploy. We tried to push the rubber seal back over it but its no use.I inclosed some pictures of the truck.Can not say when it really happened. Air bags
Takata recall I received a recall letter in july 2016. I just called the Ford dealer, and they said there are still no airbags available for this recall. My question is what is a timely manner? I waited over a year and 3 months and still no replacement. If this is a safety recall, Ford and its vendors are not making efforts to fix this. In fact I think takata and Ford are really not concerned about my safety... Air bags
