Example complaints

“Takata airbag - I received a recall notice in march of 2017, it is now december, and when I called the dealer, they are doing nothing, as parts or repairs have not yet been received or authorized. It was in for a previous recall a year earlier for the takata airbags but this is another follow up to replace the whole airbag, not some minor parts as previously.”

NHTSA complaint #11051686, filed 2017-12, 60,000 miles

“Takata recall, I am in florida in the most urgent recall zone, but Ford keeps telling me they still don't have the parts to fix my airbag. I have not been driving the car because I am worried since car is 12 years old. Is it true that parts are not available? I ask every few months. The last letter I received was july of 2016.”

NHTSA complaint #11040877, filed 2017-10, 5,000 miles

“Takata recall .the recall has been issued on june 1 2016 why is it that parts are not available 2 months later. This a hold up and prevents me from driving my vehicle. If they knew months before they should have been making new parts for the recall ahead of time so owners like myself would not have to wait so long for the vehicle to be fixed.”

NHTSA complaint #10898381, filed 2016-08, 150,603 miles

“Takata inflators. I have been waiting & waiting. Finally, I recieved a notice from Ford motor company that the repair is available & to contact the dealer for the repair. I did, however, the dealer politely informed me that they do not know why Ford would send out these notices when in fact, they still do not have the parts. Extremely frustrating for all parties involved. It has been over a year now & still unable to use the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11083204, filed 2018-04, 86,000 miles

“Takata recall takata is filing for chapter 11. My dealership does not have parts for my car and can't get them because of the chapter 11 , so that means I can't drive my car with a passenger without risking the life of the passenger. The driver side has been replaced.”
