TRUCK HAD BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR 1 YEAR PRIOR TO PURCHASE. NOT INFORMED OF RECALL WHEN I PURCHASED VEHICLE FOUND OUT WHEN I BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE AT 5000 MILES AND TOLD IT WOULD BE REPAIRED WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE THIS WAS IN OCT 2017. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD JAN.2018 NOT TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN TRUCK UNTIL AIR BAG IS REPLACED AND PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING OF 2018. I HAVE TO TAKE A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE OR IT IS WORTHLESS TO ME DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T DEACTIVATE THE AIR BAG AND WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE. WHY WON'T YOU ALLOW FORD TO DEACTIVATE DEFECTIVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE DEATH. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE TO USE THE VEHICLE AND TAKE A PASSENGER AT TIMES IT WOULD BE SAFER IF THE AIRBAG WAS DEACTIVATED AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A TRUCK TO USE IN THE MEANTIME OR TO RENT ONE AND LET MINE ROT IN THE DRIVEWAY. 2 YEARS FOR REPAIR OF A SAFETY ISSUE IS RIDICULOUS AND THE BURDEN SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE CONSUMER BECAUSE A SUPPLIER OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURED FAULTY EQUIPMENT.
