RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2017. CONTACTED CORWIN FORD TO SCHEDULE REPLACEMENT, WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT THEY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT DATE AND WHEN WE ARRIVED TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED, WE WERE TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY IN STOCK AND WOULDN'T UNTIL AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER 2017. WE CALLED AGAIN IN AUGUST, THEY SAID WOULDN'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS UNTIL DECEMBER 2017. WE HAVE CALLED CORWIN FORD AT THE END OF NOVEMBER AND THEY CLAIM NOW THAT THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS OR THAT THEY ARE EVEN GETTING THEM. WE HAVE HAD TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK PURPOSES. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE DEALER IS EVEN REMOTELY INTERESTED IN GETTING THE AIR BAGS REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN ON THE DEALERSHIP WAITING LIST FOR 6+ MONTHS. THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T EXPECT TO RECEIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR MONTHS. I CALLED OTHER DEALERSHIPS WHO INDICATE IT MAY BE YEARS, IF EVER, BEFORE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. BESIDES BEING A SERIOUS HEALTH/LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE; I ASKED THE DEALER WHO CURRENTLY OFFERS TO BUY USED RANGERS THE VALUE OF MY TRUCK; THEY INDICATE NOT MUCH: THEY CAN'T LEGALLY SELL IT IN WA SO THEY WHOLESALE THEM TO DEALERS IN OREGON. I NEED THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY GRAND CHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. THIS IS PLACING THEIR HEALTH AND PERHAPS THEIR LIVES AT RISK.
