TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS RECALL. I DID RECEIVE A LETTER TO HAVE THEM CHANGED IMMEDIATELY BUT IS BEEN WAY OVER A YEAR SINCE I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE FORD PLACES TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DONT HAVE THEM IN STOCK AND THE PLACE THAT SENDS THEM THE AIRBAGS DOES NOT HAVE THEM. MY FORD IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE TO TRAVEL AROUND IN AND HAVE NO CHOICE TO USE IT EVERYDAY SO WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN IF THE AIRBAGS GO OFF? AM I GOING TO BE BLAMED FOR NOT GETTING THEM FIXED OR DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PAIN OF SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY, INCLUDING ME, GETTING MAMMED OR DIE FOR HAVING BAD AIRBAGS. LIVES ARE AT STAKE. I NEED THESE CHANGED. I LOVE MY FORD BUT THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND GET MY CAR IN THEIR SHOP TO FIX THESE. I CALLED SEVERAL FORD PLACES HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THE SAME THINGS. THANK YOU.

'TAKATA RECALL' THE IDEA OF FORD FINDING A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG IS TO INFORM ME NOT TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I TALKED TO A FORD EMPLOYEE ABOUT THEIR SUGGESTION FOR OUR PASSENGER. WE HAVE A 5 PASSENGER VEHICLE FOR 5 OF US AND NOW WE HAVE TO CHOOSE WHAT PERSON CAN NO LONGER RIDE IN THE CAR OR ARE WE SUPPOSE TO THROW ONE PERSON IN THE BACK WITH NO SEAT BELTS. THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR US. OUR TWELVE YEAR OLD IS TRAUMATIZED FIRST HE WAS WORRIED HE WOULD BE LEFT OUT, BUT THEN HE IS SCARED TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS SITUATION HAS LEFT ALL OF US UPSET AND AFTER TALKING TO FORD EMPLOYEES THEY DON'T CARE THEIR ONLY COMMENTS ARE TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND I AM NOT GETTING A RENTAL CAR FOR THIS PERIOD OF TIME. I WANT TO HEAR A BETTER ANSWER FROM YOU. I CAN'T EVEN SELL MY CAR, BUT I DO KNOW AFTER BEING A FORD FAMILY FOREVER IT IS A TIME FOR A CHANGE.
