Description of the problem | Takata reall i purchased this car as a used vehicle in dec. 2014. Shortly after this i found that the vehicle had been recalled. I received the notice in may 2015. The car has not been repaired yet because the part is not available. About a week ago i received a notice from ford to schedule the repair. I made an appointment for today and took the vehicle in. I was told that the part is not available. I called ford and was told that the notice was sent by mistake, and that my car will have to wait for the repair. This is very frustrating and i think ford needs to compensate the owners for the diminished value of the car during the time that it has this dangerous airbag still in the car for almost two years. Volkswagen had to buy back cars that just polluted the air a little. Ford can get away with cars that can kill the owners and have done just that. I am including a scan of the notice that ford sent me. Cannot sell the car at least not for very much and really should not drive it. At least honda motor corporation offers loaner cars for their takata airbag problem cars. Ford has absolutely refused to offer loaners for their dangerous vehicles. I am just lucky so far that i have not been in accident that will deploy the dangerous supplemental restraint system using the takata airbag with defective inflator. I also worry that the other airbags in this car will have the same problem. |
