“There is a federal recall on my vehicle. I have set up an appointment twice with mathews ford in newark, ohio. They have failed to fix the problem. The first time I took it in they said because of covid they were not fixing them. I spoke to a representative from ford who set up a second appointment. They were suppose to pick up the car on 02/24 and never arrived.”

NHTSA complaint #11398914, filed 2021-03, 198,000 miles

“I have received a recall letter dated july 2016 and no action by the dealer or ford motor company....none, zero not even a explanation from the dealer service department what happened to the recall for the air bag replacement. If this is a troubled vehicle I really would like to have action and a replacement of the vehicle my recall number is 16s26. Ford must have an answer....”

NHTSA complaint #11030701, filed 2017-10, 65,000 miles

“Takata recall. I have waited over a year now, and ford still does not have the parts to replace my potentially lethal passenger side airbag inflator, nor do they (as of 7/6/2017) even have a projected date the part/s will be available. This is unconscionable.”

“Takata recall - my only complaint is that I cannot get the problem fixed with a dealer because they don't have the passenger airbag inflator replacement. The airbag has not gone off as yet.”
