Description of the problem | Takata recall 1. Received recall 16s26 recall notice july 2016. Said repair parts not yet available. Initial recall notice had no warning to not use front passenger seat of car. 2. Received recall update december 2017. Said repair parts projected to be available spring 2018. This recall update had warning "do not allow anyone to sit in the front row passenger seat". 3. Ford motor company has said they have no obligation to provide a loaner car or any other financial compensation for not being able to use the car passenger seat. 4. Ford motor company have also been very evasive about whether they will stand behind the car if front passenger seat is used and passenger is subsequently injured as a result of airbag malfunction. 5. Ford dealer service dept rep said that central virginia is not a high risk area because humidity is not as high as areas like florida or texas. Service rep implied that there is minimal risk of air bag malfunction - but they did not actually say this. 6. My question is should i use the front passenger seat and if not, what recourse do i have for my financial loss? |
