IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL ON MY CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN RENDERED USELESS SINCE THE RISK OF DRIVING THIS IS DEATH. WHY DOES THE NTSHA NOT HOLD FORD OR TAKATA RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? WHY HAS THE GOVERNMENT AGENY HAVE NO TEETH? FORD NOR NTSHA HAS TAKEN ANY INITIATIVE IN GETTING A RESOLUTION FOR THIS. LOOKS LIKE NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT!!!!! I GUESS IT IS CHEAPER TO PAY OFF LAW SUITS THAN FIXING THE OUTSTANDING RECALLS.

TAKATA RECALL IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD REGARDING NHTSA RECALL 15V-319, AND I AM STILL WAITING ON THE REPAIRS. MY LOCAL DEALER TELLS ME THEY HAVE RECEIVED NO PARTS FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND HAVE COMPLETED ZERO SERVICE APPOINTMENTS RELATED TO THIS RECALL. THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT I LIVE IN A SOUTHERN GULF COAST STATE, WHICH SHOULD MAKE MY VEHICLE A PRIORITY. IN THE RECALL NOTICE, FORD PLEDGED TO PROVIDE "THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SERVICE AND SUPPORT." INSTEAD, THEY'VE PROVIDED NO SERVICE AND NO SUPPORT. I'M FORTUNATE THAT I'VE NEVER HAD MY AIRBAG DEPLOY, BUT I'M FRUSTRATED BY THE APPARENT LACK OF ANY FURTHER COMMITMENT FROM FORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. MY COMPLAINT CENTERS AROUND THE FACT THAT FORD IS DRAGGING ITS FEET ABOUT HONORING THE RECALL. FORD HAS PUT US IN A CATCH-22 SITUATION. WE ARE RISKING OUR LIVES EVERY DAY BY DRIVING THIS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS CAR AND WE CAN'T BUY A NEW CAR BECAUSE DEALERS WON'T TAKE IT IN TRADE. TODAY I VISITED BRANDON FORD, ONE OF THE LARGEST FORD DEALERS IN THE US. I TRIED TO TRADE OUR MUSTANG IN ON A NEW ONE AND THEY WOULDN'T EVEN TALK TO ME. THEY WOULD BE GLAD TO SELL ME A NEW CAR, BUT REFUSED TO TAKE THE TRADE BECAUSE THE RECALL RENDERS IT WORTHLESS. THE SALES GUY SAID THEY CANNOT RESELL THE CAR AND WOULD SEND IT TO THE AUCTION FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR. HE ALSO SAID THAT FORD HAS NO PLANS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AND THAT ANY DEALER THAT SAYS THEY HAVE A REPAIR SCHEDULE IS LYING. I BESEECH THE NHTSA TO FORCE FORD TO MAKE THE REPAIRS ON OUR CAR NOW OR ELSE DEMAND THAT THEIR DEALERS GIVE US WHAT THE TRUE, FAIR MARKET VALUE WOULD BE IF THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO "PLAY" ITS CUSTOMERS AND ENDANGER THEIR LIVES. THANK YOU.
