TAKATA RECALL- FORD REPEATEDLY SENDS NOTICE OF RECALL AND STATES PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND TO CONTACT A DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER STATES THERE ARE NO PARTS AND WILL CONTACT ME WHEN AVAILABLE. I AM NEVER CONTACTED. THE LAST FORD RECALL LETTER STATES IN RED LETTERS "DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE" UNTIL THE AIRBAG REPAIR IS COMPLETED, BUT IT NEVER GETS REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY CLAIM PARTS HAVE TO BE ORDERED. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE AND THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. NO ASSISTANCE IS GIVEN BY FORD OR IT'S DEALERSHIPS.

IN JAN. 2018 I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD I CALLED CAPITAL FORD IN CARSON CITY NV I WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER GAVE THEM MY NAME AND PHONE NUMBER, TOLD THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RECALL DONE FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. THEY KEEP TELLING US THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES THAT SAY DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE. WE ARE A BUSINESS THAT DEPENDS ON THIS VEHICLE TO GET OUR JOB ACCOMPLISHED. WE CANNOT PARK THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT SOME SORT OF RENTAL PROVIDED BY THE DEALER. THEY HAVE TOLD US ON THIS LATEST ONE THAT IT WILL BE SOMETIME IN MARCH. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT WE ARE TOLD TO PARK OUR VEHICLE BUT IF WE HAD DONE SO EVEN FROM THIS LATEST RECALL NOTICE WE WOULD BE WITHOUT THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH TO THIS POINT WITH NO GUARANTEE OF WHEN IT WOULD BE FIXED. THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY OF INFORMING CONSUMERS THAN TO SAY DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT BY THE WAY WE WILL NOT KNOW HOW LONG YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. THANKS

I HAVE CALLED SUNRISE FORD DEALERSHIP IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES TO PICK UP MY TRUCK, AND PROVIDE A RENTAL VEHICLE TO NO AVAIL.

IVE CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AUTOMATED LINE AND IT DOESNT EVEN RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN RECALL NUMBER 17S42....AND THEN IT HANGS UP ON ME. I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS...MAYBE LONGER.

TAKATA RECALL ON 01/11/2018 I WENT TO THE SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE TO VERIFY THE TAKATA RECALL ON MY 2006 FORD RANGER. AFTER I VERIFIED IT, I CONTACTED THE WEST-HERR FORD DEALERSHIP IN HAMBURG, NY, TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD BY THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE PARTS REQUIRED TO FIX THE RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AT LEAST 02/28/2018. A RENTAL VEHICLE WAS NOT OFFERED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING THE LOCAL NEWS IS URGING OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES NOT TO DRIVE THEM UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I EVEN CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE 1-800-392-3673 AND WAS GIVEN THE SAME RUN AROUND EXCUSE. NO RENTAL VEHICLE OFFERED. I ALSO CONTACTED DAVE SMITH FORD IN WILLIAMSVILLE, NY, AND WAS TOLD YET AGAIN THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I WASN'T OFFERED A RENTAL NOR WAS I EVEN GIVEN A POSSIBLE DATE AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO ME! FORD HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO GET THESE PARTS OUT TO DEALERSHIPS. OWNERS ARE BEING TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES AND TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP COME AND TOW THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IN THE MEANTIME WE ARE EXPECTED TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT THE NEXT TIME WE DRIVE OUR TRUCKS IT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL US BECAUSE THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE!
