“Takata recall: Ford cannot tell me when a replacement airbag is available. Were notified january 2017 and have called multiple times to inquire about repairs. The answer is always they don't know when parts will be available and that I should keep calling back. This car is unsaleable without the repair!”

They did the factory tests for calibration and found no problems. They said my wife does not weigh enough. Her weight is approximately 98 pounds.
