TAKATA INFLATORS: MY COMPLAINT IS WITH YOUR AGENCY AS MUCH AS FORD. TWO YEARS AGO I LEARNED OF THE INFLATOR RECALL. I FINALLY GOT WRITTEN NOTIFICATION FROM FORD JULY 2016. AFTER NO FURTHER CONTACT I CALLED THEM WITH NOTHING FURTHER THEY COULD ADD. CALLED BACK JULY 2017 AND WAS TOLD NO PARTS WERE BEING MADE, JUST DON'T USE 1/4 THE VEHICLE SEATING FOR SAFETY. (NOT AN OPTION.) FOLLOW UP OCTOBER 2017, WORKING WITH A NEW VENDOR...PARTS SOON BUT NO DATE. GOT DECEMBER 2017 LETTER PARTS DELAYED UNTIL EARLY 2018. ITS MARCH. CALLED TODAY, MORE BS. NO PARTS MADE. MAYBE 1ST OR 2ND QUARTER. LADY MADE A U-TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND I MISSED HER BY INCHES. WORRY EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT OFTEN WITH GRANDKIDS IN CAR. NHTSA HAS DONE NOTHING WE HAVE OBSERVED TO FINE OR OTHERWISE HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE/MOTIVATE THEM. I SUSPECT THEY PAY LOBBYIST TO PRESSURE YOUR AGENCY TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAD NO PROBLEM GETTING THEIR NEW CARS OUT THESE LAST TWO MODEL YEARS. TIRED OF MY FAMILIES LIVES BEING AT RISK DAILY, BUT CAN NOT GET OUT FROM UNDER THIS CAR AT THIS TIME AND WHO WOULD WANT TO BUY IT. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RALPH NADER DAYS WHEN COMPANIES WERE FINED INTO MOTIVATION TO DO THE RIGHT THING INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT THEIR PROFITS. I'M TIRED OF WORRYING ABOUT THIS PROVEN DEADLY FAULT. FORD HAS VERIFIED WE ARE PART OF THE HIGH RISK GROUP BECAUSE OF HUMIDITY. GET OFF YOUR BUTS AND GET US SOME HELP PLEASE!

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2010 FORD EDGE IS ON THE RECALL LIST FOR A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG AND THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY EXPLODE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IF THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL AND PEOPLE HAVE DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO GET THE REPLACEMENT? AN ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND I DON'T WANT TO BE AFRAID TO RIDE IN MY OWN VEHICLE FOR THE FEAR OF THE AIRBAG. IF A REPLACEMENT CANNOT BE MADE, WHAT CAN BE DONE? TAKATA HAS FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY.

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED OF THIS RISK AND FORD HAS NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION OR NOTIFIED ME. TO PUT THIS IN TO PERSPECTIVE, THE US MILITARY MOVED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TROOPS AND EQUIPMENT HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD TO IRAQ AND DEFEATED THE WORLDS 5TH LARGEST ARMY IN LESS TIME THAN FORD HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS RECALL. TIME IS UP. I NEED A NEW AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE I GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT NOT AFTERWARDS.
