| Description of the problem | Takata recall nothing has happened (yet!), but i wish to formally complain about ford/mercury dragging their feet on fulfilling the demands of the airbag recall which was issued a year-and-a-half ago. They are still claiming that we (owners) will be notified by mail when the remedy/part is available, but the delay is because they have spent so much time and effort trying to weasel out of their obligation, asking (and recently being denied by) the nhtsa for a pass, while other manufacturers like nissan and honda have been much more concerned with the safety of vehicle owners, and proactive with their recall obligations. I cannot afford a new vehicle and so i have to live with the fact that every time my family or i use this car, our very lives are at risk, because ford apparently feels their bottom line outweighs the potential cost of a few wrongful death suits. |
