TAKATA RECALL BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS DISSOLVING ITSELF OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY AFTER SENDING A LETTER OUT THAT STATES PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. HOWEVER AFTER NOTIFYING DEALER OF LETTER FROM FORD OVER THREE WEEKS AGO AND HEARING NOTHING, CALL FORD WHOSE REPRESENTATIVE SAYS IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO GET DEALER TO GET THE PART AND SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. SINCE CALLING THE DEALER OVER 3 WEEKS AGO WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE NO ACTION WHAT AM I TO DO NEXT. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS LEAD FORD TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY NEED TO DO WITH A LETTER "CAMPAIGN" SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE THE INDIVIDUAL THAT MAY BE INJURED WITH DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. WILL A LETTER CAMPAIGN PAY MEDICAL BILLS OR LOOK AFTER MY FAMILY DEATH. ANY SUGGESTIONS??????

I HAVE CALLED TWICE THE FORD SAMES DEALERSHIP IN BASTROP TX TO GET THIS REPAIR DONE. THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY WENT IN AS I WAS INFORMED TO DO SO. WAITED OVER AN HOUR TO BE INFORMED THAT THE PART WASN'T IN THE SHOP AND THEY WOULD CALL WHEN IT WAS. I HAVE NOW CALLED TO GET BOTH AIRBAGS REPAIRED AS EACH TIME I TAKE OFF I LOSE PAY. ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR MY TIME OFF OR A RENTAL CAR? I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER AND THAT THERE WAS NO ETA AND AS SOON AS THEY WERE AVAILABLE THEY WOULD CALL ME. I MADE THE CALL ON AUGUST 27, 2018 HERE IT IS OCTOBER 3 WITH STILL NO CALL BACK. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE WHEN THE REPAIR SHOP CAN'T GET THE PARTS IN AND CALL THEIR CUSTOMERS!!!
