MY LOCAL FORD DEALERS DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND SAY THAT FORD MOTOR CO. SENDS IN JUST ENOUGH PARTS TO FIX A FEW VEHICLES AT A TIME. I'M ON A LONG WAITING LIST. I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE JULY OF 2016 SINCE I RECEIVED THEIR OFFICIAL LETTER OF NOTIFICATION.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD SEVERAL MONTHS AGO TELLING ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART (18S02) WAS FINALLY AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AFTER WAITING MANY MONTHS ON THIS PART TO ARRIVE. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE PART WAS NOT THERE, BUT WILL BE IN JUNE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN THE BEGINNING OF JUNE, AND THEY TELL ME THE PART WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL LATER JULY OR EVEN LATER. SO, THEN I CALLED THE 1-866-436-7332 FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE ARRIVING AT THE DEALERSHIPS, BUT THEY WERE NICE ENOUGH TO CALL THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR ME AND HAVE THE PARTS DEPARTMENT ORDER THE PART SPECIFICALLY FOR ME. I ASKED THE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE AND HE SAID IT MAY BE TWO WEEKS, TWO MONTHS, OR EVEN MUCH LONGER THAN THAT. FORD SHOULD NOT SEND CUSTOMERS LETTERS STATING THAT A RECALLED PART IS IN THE DEALERSHIPS WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY NOT THERE. THIS IS BLATANTLY LYING TO THE CUSTOMERS AND SHOULD BE PUNISHABLE BY LAW. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS AND IT IS NOT FAIR TO THEM EITHER. IT'S FUNNY THAT WHEN THE FIRE IN MICHIGAN DISRUPTED THE PRODUCTION OF THE F150, IT ONLY TOOK A VERY SHORT TIME TO GET THAT UP AND RUNNING BECAUSE I THINK FORD CARES MORE ABOUT SELLING CARS AND TRUCKS THAN ABOUT THEIR CURRENT CUSTOMERS. IT'S REALLY SAD THAT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY TRUCK FOR GOING ON TWO YEARS NOW, DUE TO THIS SAFETY RECALL. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT IS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE ME A VEHICLE TO DRIVE UNTIL MINE IS REPAIRED. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT I WILL EVER PURCHASE A FORD PRODUCT EVER AGAIN BECAUSE I SEE THAT THEY CARE MORE ABOUT MAKING MONEY THAN THEY DO ABOUT CARING FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE DEALER REPLACE AIR BAG, JUST GETTING THE RUN A ROUND,

WAITING OVER 2 YEARS FOR THIS AIR BAG TO BE FIXED

TAKATA RECALL. I FIRST BECAME AWARE OF THIS RECALL WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2016. I HAVE SUBMITTED TWO LETTERS TO NHTSA TO DEACTIVATE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG, SINCE IT IS A SINGLE CAB. I CANNOT TRANSPORT ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THIS AIRBAG, AND THERE IS NO AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. THE LETTERS I SENT IN DEC 16 AND OCT 17 HAVE GONE UNANSWERED. I FILLED OUT AN EMAIL TO NHTSA LAST WEEK AND HAVE JUST GOTTEN OFF THE PHONE TO NHTSA. I NEED THIS AIRBAG DEACTIVATED UNTIL REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE. I AM IN TOUCH WITH LOCAL FORD DEALER, "SPEEDWAY FORD' IN GRIFFIN, GA 30224, BUT THEY CANNOT RESOLVE THE MATTER EITHER.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNDER A RECALL FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS OKAY TO ALLOW A PASSENGER TO RIDE IN THAT SEAT.

OTHER PEOPLE'S FORDS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND I SEE WHERE FOR SOME RANGERS THE PARTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RELEGATED TO A LESS IMPORTANT POSITION.

ALTHOUGH A RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED, I TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, TEAM FORD IN STEUBENVILLE, OHIO AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE INFLATOR. THE TRUCK HAS 1500 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS. IS IT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET THE INFLATOR REPLACED? I AM PLANNING TO MOVE THE TRUCK TO FLORIDA WITH SOMEONE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I NEED TO DO TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER TAKE ACTION. THANK YOU.

OUR DEALER IS UNABLE TO LOCATE REPLACEMENT TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS. FOR THIS VEHICLE. APPARENTLY A REMEDY IS "NOT YET AVAILABLE". DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IS LIKE DRIVING WITH A POTENTIAL LOADED CANNON POINTED AT YOU. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR FORD TO FIX -- EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO MAKE THESE BAG INFLATORS THEMSELVES.

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.

TAKATA RECALL -- WE RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON OUR TRUCK FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (HASSETT FORD) FRIDAY, JANUARY 5 TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED.

I CONTACTED THE NUMBER IN THE LETTER AND INFORMED THEM I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY 2008 RANGER THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE GENTLEMAN'S TRUCK WHO DIED AFTER STRIKING A COW IN SOUTH CAROLINA. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING FORD CAN DO. NO LOANER IS AVAILABLE, AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING FORD WOULD INVESTIGATE AND "TAKE CARE OF IT." SO IF I DIE THEY WRITE A CHECK? HOW MUCH IS ONE HUMAN LIFE GOING FOR THESE DAYS? WHEN WILL YOU PUT PRESSURE OF FORD TO EXPEDITE THESE REPAIRS OR PROVIDE LOANERS? I HAVE NOW LOST THE USE OF HALF OF MY TRUCK. I CANNOT LET MY CHILDREN, MY SPOUSE, MY PETS, OR EVEN MY BACKPACK RIDE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT.

"TAKATA RECALL"

TAKATA RECALL -- CALLED LOCAL DEALER TOWN & COUNTRY IN ALAMOSA, COLORADO TO HAVE BAGS REPLACED AND WAS TOLD THE COMPANY HAS NO CURRENT PLAN TO DO SO.

TAKATA RECALL - FORD NOTIFIED ME BY MAIL IN JULY 2016 THAT THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE AND THAT FORD WOULD NOTIFY ME VIA MAIL WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I TELEPHONED FORD ON JUNE 8, 2017 AT (800) 392-3673 TO INQUIRE ABOUT GETTING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED SINICE I HAD NOT YET RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM FORD. I WAS TOLD THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE YET. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM FORD ON OCTOBER 28, 2017 THAT FORD WANTED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR AS PART OF A VOLUNTARY RESEARCH PROGRAM. I HAVE NOT YET RESPONDED TO THIS REQUEST. HOWEVER, FORD STILL HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL IDENTIFIED PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR.

**TAKATA RECALL** THIS IS TO FOLLOW UP ON THE COMPLAINT I FILED A YEAR AGO (COMPLAINT #10955487) REGARDING FORD'S INABILITY/REFUSAL TO REPLACE MY TAKATA AIRBAG PURSUANT TO AN ACTIVE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED 6/1/2016. I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, WHO INDICATED TO ME FORD STILL DOESN'T HAVE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!! A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, AND STILL NO COMPLIANCE? THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED, NOT TO MENTION MY SAFETY. MAYBE IF I NAME NHTSA AS A DEFENDANT IN A LAWSUIT, THEY'LL FINALLY PUT THE SCREWS TO FORD???

TL

RECALL ISSUED IN JANUARY AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT MADE AVAILABLE.

AND IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND NOW THAT THEY HAVE FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS NOW. IT HAS BEEN WAY TOO LONG THERE SHOULD BE A REMEDY BY NOW. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STEP IS.

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON MY TRUCK CONCERNING THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SINCE 2016 YET I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY NOTICE FROM FORD ABOUT THE RECALL. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE INVESTIGATION, FOUND THIS IS A VALID RECALL. I ONLY LEARNED ABOUT THE RECALL WHEN I WAS SENT A NOTICE ABOUT A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH COULD INCLUDE MY SITUATION. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM FORD CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND IF I LOOK FOR AN IMMEDIATE FIX, THEY SAY THAT ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE YET?? IF THIS IS REALLY SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE W/ FAULTY AIR BAGS, WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG FOR A VIABLE SOLUTION TO YET BE ANNOUNCED?

"TAKATA RECALL" 17S01 THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT INREGARDS TO AN ACCIDENT THAT HAS HAPPENED BUT THE LACK OF ACTION BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND TK HOLDINGS INC TO TIMELY REPLACE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I RCVD A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CO ON 3-6-17 STATING I WILL BE SENT A LETTER TO INFORM ME WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND TO CONTACT MY DEALER TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. BEING TIRED OF WAITING TO BE INFORMED BY FORD MOTOR CO, I CALLED MY DEALER FOR MORE INFORMATION, OR TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY PARTS. I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS. I ASKED THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE IF THEY HAD REPLACED AIRBAG INFLATORS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES, AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I'M TIRED OF WAITING FOR THIS PART TO BE REPLACED. I WANT IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT UNTIL SOME OTHER VEHICLE HITS MY VEHICLE CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY, SIMMULTANEOUSLY THROWING METAL FRAGMENTS INTO THE CABIN AND KILLING OR INJURING ME OR MY FAMILY. I AM 59 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE A LIFETIME ACCIDENT FREE DRIVING RECORD. I ALSO RECEIVED A FLYER NOTICE FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. DURING THE FIRST WEEK IN NOVEMBER 2017 CLAIMING THAT IF I DON'T REGISTER MY EMAIL ADDRESS WITH THEM AT TKRESTRUCTURING.COM/PPIC' BY DECEMBER 27, 2017 THAT THEY MAY BE DISCHARGED FROM " ALL INDEBTEDNESS AND LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH A CLAIM.

"TAKATA RECALL" IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED THE "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FROM FORD TELLING ME MY VEHICLE HAD THE FAULTY PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG AND TO TAKE IT TO MY DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR. HAVING BEEN INFORMED THAT THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS FAULTY I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO HAVE ANY RIDE AS A PASSENGER BECAUSE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND INJURED SOMEONE I WOULD BE AT FAULT AND MY INSURANCE WOULD NOT COVER ME. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE CONCERNING THE AIRBAG IN OCTOBER AND ALSO INFO THAT TAKATA WAS FILING BANKRUPTCY. THE DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. I WOULD IMAGINE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS IN THIS SITUATION. CAN ANYONE DO ANYTHING ABOUT GETTING PARTS TO THE DEALERS TO MAKE REPAIRS? I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE USED AS DESIGNED.

ATTACHED IS MY EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS WITH ORCHID ISLE FORD, SINCE THEN. IN SHORT, THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED MY AIRBAG AND I CANNOT SELL MY VEHICLE. DEAR ORCHID ISLE, BECAUSE OUR RANGER IS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD AND IN THE PAST, YOU HAVE SUGGESTED WE SELL IT ON OUR OWN, WE HAVE PUT OUT SOME FEELERS. UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAG, IT HAS CREATED A SITUATION FOR US IN SELLING THIS TRUCK. ALMOST A YEAR AGO, I WROTE TO YOU AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE TWICE AND CALLED YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, LIKE YOU SUGGESTED. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY COULD NOT HELP US THEN AND NOW, A YEAR LATER, THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART. WE RECEIVED A NOTICE OF FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY BY TAKATA, WHICH SAYS WE ARE STILL SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A FREE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT BY THE FORD DEALER THAT SOLD US THE VEHICLE AND IF NOT, THEY HAVE TOLD ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. HERE IS OUR DILEMMA. OUR VEHICLE THAT IS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD, HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. IT LOOKS LIKE IT JUST CAME OUT OF THE SHOWROOM AND YET, WE CANNOT SELL IT. WE AGREE, WE COULD PROBABLY PASS IT OFF TO SOME UNSUSPECTING BUYER, BUT THAT WOULD BE UNETHICAL AND WE WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER IT. CAN YOU PLEASE ASSIST US WITH THIS AIRBAG REPLACEMENT?

TAKATA INFLATORS I NOTICED MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS PERIODICALLY COMING ON AND THOUGHT IT WAS A POSSIBLE BAD CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY THAT MY TRUCK HAS BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST FOR OVER 6 MONTHS AND WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY ANYONE INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PUNCHED IT NEW. WHAT SHOULD I DO

TAKATA RECALL - DEALER SAID PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE CURRENT TIME TO DO THE REPAIRS. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL WHEN I TRIED TO TRADE MY CAR IN FOR A NEW VEHICLE. MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT SELL THE VEHICLE OFF OF THEIR LOTS BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. SO NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ( MULTIPLE DEATHS REPORTED DUE TO AIRBAG) AND THE VALUE OF THE CAR HAS BEEN GREATLY REDUCED. I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER THAT WANTED TO BUY THE TRUCK AND I COULD NOT SELL THE CAR TO HIM OR ANYONE ELSE KNOWING THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE.

TAKATA RECALL= I WAS ALERTED VIA LETTER N JULY 2006 TO AN AIRBAG HAZARD WITHIN MY VEHICLE. THE LETTER BASICALLY STATED THAT AIRBAG MALFUNCTION IN MY VEHICLE MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO ME OR MY PASSENGERS. READING INFO FROM FORD'S WEBSITE IT IS STATED THAT VEHICLES WITH THE HIGHEST RISK OF AIRBAG MALFUNCTION ARE THOSE IN AREAS OF HIGH HUMIDITY AND HIGH HEAT CYCLING. I LIVE IN NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA. I THINK IT IS SAFE TO SAY I LIVE IN ONE OF THOSE HIGH RISK AREAS. NOW? I ONLY OWN ONE VEHICLE SO, I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS ONE REGARDLESS OF PERIL. ALSO FORD HAS STATED TO ME THAT THE NTSA HAS SAID THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY. THAT DOES NOT SEEM ALTOGETHER RIGHT. IF I SHOULD GET INJURED OR DIE THE BLAME WOULD LIE PARTIALLY WITH THE NTSA. IS FORD SPEAKING FOR THE NTSA? I JUST WANNA KNOW SO I CAN SUE YOU TOO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS.

"TAKATA RECALL" SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384. I HAVE CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE ONLY TO BE TOLD THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PART IS MADE AVAILABLE. THE NOTICE IS DATED JULY 2016.

I HAVE NOTICED THE WHOLE SPINDLE (THE PART THAT THE BRAKES ARE BOLTED TO AND THE WHEEL IS CONNECTED TO) HAS EXCESSIVE RUST SO BAD IF IS COMING OFF IN LARGE PIECES. THE TRUCK WAS NEVER IN WATER OR EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE SALT ON THE ROADS, ALWAYS KEEP IN A GARAGE OR CARPORT. FROM WHERE THE TOP BALL JOINT BOLTS ON, TO WHERE THE BOTTOM BALL JOINT BOLTS ON, ITS NOTHING BUT RUST. SO MUCH RUST HAS COME OFF THAT IT IS ACTUALLY GETTING SMALLER, ESPECIALLY UP WHERE THE TOP BALL JOINT BOLTS ON BECAUSE IT IS SMALLER IN SIZE. I HAVE SPRAYED RUST KILLER ON IT BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IT BREAKING FROM GETTING WEAK BECAUSE OF SO MUCH OF THE METAL TURNING TO RUST AND FALLING OFF! IF IT SHOULD BREAK THE WHOLE WHEEL WOULD COME OFF! THIS IS THE ONLY METAL PART ON THE TRUCK THAT IS DOING THIS AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I THINK FORD BOUGHT SOME BAD PARTS FROM SOMEWHERE THAT WAS MADE OF CHEAP METAL. I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO SEE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AS PEOPLE NOTICE IT. I HOPE THEY NOTICE IT BEFORE IT STARTS BREAKING OR FAILING, BECAUSE OF SURE LOSS OF STEERING. ITS HARD TO SEE UNLESS YOU HAVE THE WHEEL OFF AND LOOK BEHIND. ALSO THE WHEEL BEARINGS ARE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY AT LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. I AM STILL DRIVING THE TRUCK BUT KEEP CHECKING THE RUSTING SPIMDLE CONDITION, AND WHEEL BEARINGS.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD IN JULY 2016. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHEN A REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE. THEY HAVE OFFERED NO SUBSTITUTION.

(TAKATA RECALL) I GOT A RECALL LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY DATED JULY 2016. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ON MY 2008 FORD RANGER. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO MY DEALER, METRO FORD, INDEPENDENCE, MO., WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF RECEIVING THE RECALL LETTER. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE THE 4TH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR, SOMETIME IN OCT. 2016. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY, 10/7/16, TO SEE IF I COULD BRING MY TRUCK IN FOR THE AIRBAG REPAIR, & THE SERVICE MANAGER NOW TELLS ME THE PART MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR 2017. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SLOWNESS OF THIS REPAIR AS I MUST USE MY TRUCK REGULARLY TO HAUL MATERIALS, & AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY PASSENGER'S SAFETY. IS THERE A TIME FRAME WITHIN WHICH THE COMPANY IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS RECALL REPAIR DONE? IS THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO USE AS I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF HAULING MATERIALS? *JS

THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD BLINK INTERMEDIATELY AND IF THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF WHILE THAT IS HAPPENING, THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZER WOULD ENGAGE AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. I DROVE THE TRUCK THIS WAY FOR A WHILE AND JUST LET IT RUN AND NOT SHUT IT OFF. FORD DIDN;T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. EVENTUALLY I FOUND OUT THAT THE WIRING HARNESS THAT CAME TOGETHER IN A Y SHAPE, AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SECURELY TAPED ONLY HAD ONE STRAND OF TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THE WIRES. THE METAL, WHERE THE WIRES WENT THROUGH HAD RUBBED THROUGH THE ONE STRAND OF ELECTRICAL TAPE AND INTO ONE OF THE WIRES OCCASIONALLY SHORTING IT OUT, THUS SETTING OFF THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZER. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW SO IT HAD TO HAVE CAME FROM THE FACTORY THAT WAY. IT HAD LESS THAN 50 THOUSAND MILES WHEN IT STARTED AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO DO IT, SITTING, DRIVING, CITY, HIGHWAY, BUT USUALLY ALWAYS RUNNING, UNLESS IT WAS SHUT OFF WHILE IT WAS DOING IT AND THEN TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN. IT WOULD NOT CRANK OVER , JUST LIKE THERE WAS NO BATTERY IN IT. IT WAS MY FIRST NEW VEHICLE AND WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. THE TRUCK WAS WIRED FOR FOG LIGHTS BUT NO LIGHTS THEMSELVES IN IT, JUST PLASTIC COVERS. THE SHORT WAS ON THE FOG LIGHT WIRE WHERE THE WIRES WENT THROUGH THE FRONT METAL PANNEL THE RADIATOR WAS BOLTED ON. I WROTE IN BEFORE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS BUT HAD NOT FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS THEN. FORD SAID IT MAY BE THE CLUSTER, BUT IT WASN'T. THEY ALSO SAID THEY DIDNT KNOW FOR SURE WHAT IT WAS. IT WENT ON LAST YEAR TILL I FIXED IT THIS YEAR WITH A ROLL OF ELECTRICAL TAPE THAT FORD WAS EITHER TOO CHEAP TO USE OR POOR WORKMANSHIP. IT STARTED LAST YEAR AND TOOK ME TILL THIS YEAR TO FIX IT.

I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS BEST IF I PARK MY VEHICLE AND NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I AM UNABLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF MY JOB. I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY AND THEY BLEW ME OFF. WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED? 10 PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DIED BECAUSE OF THIS.

WHILST DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON I APPROACHED A LARGE HILL. I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH TO DOWN SHIFT & DRIVE UP THE HILL TO DRIVE UP THE HIL IN A LOWER GEAR AND WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON. WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED THE THROTTLE STUCK DOWN/THE CRUISE CONTROL CLUTCH DISCONNECT SWITCH FAILED CAUSING A SPIKE IN ENGINE RPM WHILE IN NEUTRAL. THE RPM RACED PAST 6500 BEFORE I MANAGED TO CONTROL IT. THIS BRIEF SPIKE CAUSED A PROBABLE BLOWN HEADGASKET AND PRESSURE IN MY COOLANT SYSTEM BLOWING MY COOLANT OUT OF A STRIPPED BLOCK HEATER VENTING MY COOLANT OVERBOARD AND CAUSING AN OVER TEMP SITUATION. I MANAGED TO GET IT TO A SHOP IN SLAVE LAKE AND AFTER $520 IN REPAIRS I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION AT MY MECHANICS, HE DETERMINED THE HEAD GASKETS WERE NOT THE FAILURE POINT. DUE TO THE REMOTENESS OF MY TOWN AND A LACK OF CYLINDER HEAD TESTING FACILITIES, I OPTED TO GET A ENGINE PULLED FROM A SIMILAR RANGER PUT IN TO MY RANGER. NOW I HAVE OXYGEN SENSOR ISSUES I HAVE REPLACED THEM ONCE ALREADY AND NOW I HAVE THE SAME CHECK ENGINE CODE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY OFFERED NO HELP. PLEASE NOTE: I AM A CANADIAN RESIDENT MY TOWN IS ACTUALLY FORT SMITH NT POSTAL CODE X0E 0P0.

2008 FORD RANGER. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW (6) TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE RPM'S GO UP, THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER, AND STALLS. SOME TIMES WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I'M IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE RPM'S GO UP SO HIGH, THAT I HAVE TO PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME, TRYING TO GET THE THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 5949 MILES ON IT. THIS TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR (8) DAYS. FORD CALLED, AND SAID THE TUCK WAS READY/ REPAIRED. DROVE THE TRUCK 83 MILES. SAME PROBLEM. NOW IT SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I'M WONDERING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, NEXT? THIS ALL STARTED AT 749 MILES. FORD EVEN SENT THERE ENGINEERS OUT TO REPLACE THE DASH CLUSTER HARNESS. DIDN'T WORK. FORD ENGINEERS CAME BACK OUT , AND CHANGED THE FUEL SENSOR. THAT DIDN'T WORK. FORD ENGINEERS CHANGED THE 4022 AND THE 2022 PINS. STILL DIDN'T WORK. THEY HAVE RETESTED THE SYSTEM. SAME PROBLEM TIME AFTER TIME. THEY NOW REFUSE TO LEMON LAW THE TRUCK. HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS, SHOULD I HAVE TO TAKE, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER RELATIONS. TALKED WITH EVERYONE, YOU COULD POSSIBLE THINK OF. BUT IT NEVER GETS REPAIRED RIGHT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD RANGER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. AFTER CAREFUL INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DOOR MOVES AS IF IT IS NOT PROPERLY LATCHED. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR DURING THE FAILURES.

FIRST, WITH THE NON-TILTING STEERING WHEEL LOCATED WHERE IT IS, WITH A TALLER PERSON IT IS DIFFICULT-TO- IMPOSSIBLE TO LIFT THE FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND TRANSFER IT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AS THE DRIVER'S KNEES ENDS UP IMPACTING THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS MAKES IT NECESSARY TO JUST DO A SORT OF HEEL-ON-THE-FLOOR-FOOT-TILT-OR-SLIDE TO GO FROM THE GAS TO THE BRAKE WITHOUT STEERING WHEEL/KNEE INTERFERENCE. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM IN THE FORD'S WE HAVE WHICH HAVE TILT STEERING WHEELS SECOND, A VISUAL CHECK SHOWS THAT THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS ARE CLOSE TOGETHER AT NEARLY THE SAME HEIGHT. FROM A 'STEP OVER' POINT OF VIEW THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD THING, BUT IT RESULTS IN LITTLE 'FEEL' FOR WHERE YOUR FOOT IS ACTUALLY PLACED WHEN ONE GOES TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY USING THE HEEL-TO-THE-FLOOR-FOOT-TILT-OR-SLIDE METHOD NECESSITATED BY THE LOW STEERING WHEEL POSITION. THIS CAN AND DOES RESULT IN PRESSING BOTH PEDALS SIMULTANEOUSLY. IN ONE DAY OF DRIVING I MANAGED TO DO THE 'BOTH PEDAL PRESS' THREE TIMES, ANY ONE OF WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCELERATION INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OBJECT. *TR

THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY, 750-850 MILES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS , THE TRUCKS (RPMS) GOES UP, 1200 RPMS. IF THERE IS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I HAVE TO PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER SHIP (4) TIMES NOW. FORD HAS HAD THEIR ENGINEERS, COME OUT AND TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. FORD HAS EVEN REPLACED THE DASH WIRE HARNESS, AND THE TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT THE TRUCK, CAN CAUSE A CRASH. THE FIRST TIME WAS 3-21-08 , SECOND TIME 4-07-08, THIRD TIME 4-24-08, FOURTH TIME 6-02-08. THE SAID TRUCK ONLY HAS 44,43 MILES. NO INCIDENT YET. I'M FEARFUL THAT THERE WILL BE AN INCIDENT. *TR
