RE: NHTSA RECALL 16V-384: IN JULY 2016 FORD ANNOUNCED A RECALL BUT NEVER HAD THE PARTS READY. IN DECEMBER 2017 FORD SENT A LETTER STATING THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS. THEY ALSO SUGGEST NOT TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THIS IS A JOKE. IF THAT ISSUE IS SO RELEVANT TO SECURITY, HOW CAN FORD AFFORD TO DO NOTHING OVER AN 18 MONTH PERIOD. ALSO, HOW CAN THEY SUGGEST THAT WE NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT (OTHER THAN TO COVER LEGAL EXPOSURE). ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR TO BE ABLE TO TRAVEL TOGETHER??

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.
