Description of the problem | Takata recall: ford sent my 1st letter in july 2016. In dec 2017 i received a letter telling me to not let anyone ride in my passenger seat until they resolve the issue. This is not possible since my vehicle is a 2 seat vehicle and often requires more than 1 passenger. I tried to contact ford for a solution such as disengaging the airbag or providing me a rental car. They would void the warranty and recall if i had the airbag disabled and refused a rental car. Since this is my only vehicle that often requires more than one passenger i am not able to resolve the year and half only delayed recall? The companies solution does not allow for me to use my vehicle with danger of injury (passenger in the passenger seat) or financial burden (rental car). |
