TAKATA RECALL, LETTER RECEIVED FEB 2018, FORD MOTOR CO & LOCAL DEALER SAY DON"T KNOW WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX ISSUE, FORD MOTOR CO SAYS IN LETTER RECEIVED MAY 2018 THAT FORD ALLOWING $30 DAY FOR RENTAL CAR, LOCAL DEALER SAYS DON'T HAVE RENTAL CARS FOR $30 DAY, MINIMUM IS $38 DAY, THAT MEANS ABOUT $240 PER MONTH THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE. SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF INJURY THAT COULD BE CAUSED. WANTED TO SELL CAR AS IT WAS MY MOMS WHO HAS PASSED AWAY BUT NOBODY WANTS TO BUY IT BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL - I DON'T BLAME THEM. SO THERE IT SITS PARKED WHILE I AM PAYING FOR LICENSE PLATE AND INSURANCE. READ THAT IT IS SAFE IF NO ONE SITS IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - DO I TRUST THIS? WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO GET PARTS, WHEN NEW CARS ARE COMING OUT AND FORD HAS AIR BAGS IN NEW CARS. WHERE DO THEY GET AIR BAG PARTS FOR THE NEW CARS BEING MANUFACTURED? GUESS JUST HAVE TO WAIT, FOR HOW LONG - NOBODY KNOWS!

NEED TO FIND A BETTER WAY TO HANDLE THIS. AS I AM TIRED OF HAVING EVERYONE RIDE IN BACK SEAT OF CAR.
