I WAS TOLD MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS WHEN I WAS THINKING OF PURCHASING. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AS SOON AS THE PARTS CAME IN. THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO. EVERY TIME I GO TO HAVE MAINTENANCE DONE I ASK ABOUT THIS RECALL AND WHEN CAN I EXPECT IT TO BE DONE....HOPEFULLY BEFORE IT KILLS ME!!! I LIVE IN ALPHARETTA, GA AND THE TRAFFIC IS AS BAD AS EVERYONE SAYS. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I WOULD HATE THAT MY DEATH OCCURRED BECAUSE FORD DIDN'T REPLACE FAULTY PARTS.

TAKATA RECALL - WHEN I LOOKED UP THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE I READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT -"IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA." I AM NOTIFYING YOU NOW TO COMPLAIN THAT THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, NOW 2 YEARS INTO THE RECALL. WHEN WILL IT BE RESOLVED AND WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT IT?

TAKATA RECALL - ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE, "IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES, CONTINUED EXPOSURE TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING TO RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONT AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY." ... SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED ON 05/27/2015 AND THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER (2 YEARS NEXT MONTH)! MY WIFE AND I ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR SON DRIVING THIS VEHICLE (AGE 18). THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE BECAUSE WE LIVE IN THE HOUSTON AREA AND THERE IS A HIGH LEVEL OF HUMIDITY HERE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. I WANT FORD TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP!
