Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Takata recall - we were notified more than 9 months ago about this recall and they still have not gotten the parts to replace this. How safe are these airbags? Why are the car manufacturers still not replacing them? We have been patient but if this is a true safety issue- how are they getting away with not correcting it?”
NHTSA complaint #11032568, filed 2017-10, 100,000 miles“Takata recall - after almost 2 years, my auto dealer says they still do not have the parts to repair/replace and perform the recall. Is this not a excessive time to correct the problem? They also tell me that I am not entitled to a rental or replacement vehicle. Am I and my passenger at risk of physical harm due to this defect?”
NHTSA complaint #11144291, filed 2018-10“Takata recall. Have tried to get Lincoln dealership to replace the airbag and they said no parts are available to them. I want to sell or trade my vehicle and can not due to possible injury to a person. How do I get the air bag replaced so I can move on with my life and not get sued if I sell the vehicle? It has been years since I was notified I had a recall on my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11055917, filed 2017-12“Takata recall since I first got the recall notice in 2016 all ford/Lincoln shows is: status: 12 - recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available I cannot get it fixed until the company does something. The tk holdings legal notice I got today saying I must get it fixed is fraud.”
NHTSA complaint #11039822, filed 2017-10“Takata recall recall has been active since 2016 and my vehicle's airbag still hasn't been repaired. This is very frustrating since my family can't ride in my vehicle. I have to rent a vehicle when we take family trips!”
