Example complaints

“Takata recall : my spouse and I have been waiting on parts to come out for this recall since mid-2016, about two years ago, and received a letter in the mail as late as december 2017 saying that there has been a delay with the replacement parts' production. This is an absurd amount of time to have to wait for a safety replacement part. It harms the resale value of our vehicle and will potentially harm my wife, who often sits in the front seat passenger seat. Let's get some regulatory authority and force Ford to respect their drivers' safety and time!”

NHTSA complaint #11081203, filed 2018-03, 59,000 miles

“Received notice of safety recall NHTSA 16v-384. Have received letters that part is on order over last two + years. Dealership is delaying fixing problem. Does anyone hold manufactures responsible for fixing a known problem in a timely manner?”

NHTSA complaint #11120981, filed 2018-08, 24,000 miles

“Takata recall we have not receive a letter requesting us to bring in our vehicle to have the takata airbag replaced. Since takata airbags are a major safety issue where human lives are at risk, I would believe this would have been taken care last year. I want in writing from Ford telling us to take our vehicle to our nearest Ford dealership asap.”

NHTSA complaint #10946778, filed 2017-01

“Takata inflators. I have been notified by Ford that there has been a recall, I have called different dealers to schedule a time to perform the work needed to fix the problem and all they have told me is that they do not have the materials needed to complete the work. The person I spoke to said that they will notify me by phone or text. This has been going on for over a year now.”

NHTSA complaint #11153359, filed 2018-11

“Takata recall. Received a recall letter from Ford corporation, july 2016, regarding the passenger airbag; however, to date, there is still no remedy, per the local dealership and Ford corporation's website. I live in a state identified as a high-risk area. Nothing has happened yet, but this is ridiculous that we must roll the dice every time we get behind the wheel!”
