TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FORD HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME THAT REPAIR CAN BE MADE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF MY 2006 MUSTANG.

ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED SO THE DANGER CAN BE REMOVED FROM MY MUSTANG. FORD IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I AM UNHAPPY WITH THEM AND THAT IS THE COMPLAINT. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY RECALL AND REPAIR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS!

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE HAD THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED BUT I AM BEING TOLD THE PARTS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE ARE UNAVAILABLE. I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED AS TO WHAT I DO AT THIS POINT WITH THE CAR.

I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ACCIDENTS WITH THE CAR BUT WOULD LIKE TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED.
TAKATA INFLATORS - HOW IS IS THAT ACCORDING TO THE WALL STREET JOURNAL 12/19/17 THAT HONDA IS GOING DOOR TO DOOR TO FIND PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T RESPONDED TO THEM BUT FORD CAN'T GET THE AIRBAGS FOR THIS MODEL IN STOCK? IT'S BEEN 18 MONTHS.
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 2 YEARS FOR THIS FIX. WHAT COURSE OF ACTION IS AVAILABLE TO ME?
''TAKATA RECALL'' THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2016 BY LAIRDNOLLER FORD IN LAWRENCE, KANSAS. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS ALSO UNDER RECALL BUT THAT A REPLACEMENT HAD NEVER BEEN MADE AVAILABLE.
