Air Bags · at 109,000 miles · reported Jan 11, 2019
Takata recall it has taken a year for me to finally get my car into the dealership for this recall. My local dealership would transfer me to the recall department and then I would have to leave a message, they never called me back. When I AM on break from school is the only time I can attempt to get the car in because they will not offer a loaner car. I call repeatedly the entire break 2-3 weeks and finally I had to reach out to the further dealership to finally get back to me. Again no loaner from them either. They offered a shuttle and spoke as if it is quick, I had to wait 80 minutes for a…

The electronic throttle body and electronic throttle sensor were sending my car into "limp mode", and very nearly caused two accidents before I could have the issue diagnosed and repaired.

The car then jerked forward before running smoothly again. The second time, I…

"takata recall" although I check my mail and have contacted local ford dealerships I have not been able to complete recall 16s26. This car was oe purchased in florida, until 2013 when I bought it and drove it to vermont. The mileage in florida was over 70,000. I have asked for help to have the airbag replaced, calling ford and checking with dealers.. No luck. I believe this vehicle should have priority given the fact that it was driven in a hot, humid climate for the bulk of its' life. I ask NHTSA to intervene in this case and get my vehicle the safety priority it needs.

Takata recall this recall is from 2016 and whenever I try and have ti fixed I AM still to this day I AM told that the "parts are not in and cannot be ordered yet" this is insane and these companies need to be held accountable for their mistakes and for using defective parts to cut corners at the detriment of the consumer.
