| Description of the problem | Takata recall ford has now warned us by mail that we should not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat of this vehicle. They have also advised that repairs will not be available until spring 2018 and that those repairs will be made in a priority order determined by the nhtsa. This is totally unacceptable. Since the remedy parts have already been delayed once, it is possible that this car could be unsafe for a front seat passenger for a very long time. Since this is the second of our cars now considered unsafe for front seat passengers, we are very upset. Something more has to be done to get these repairs completed in a more timely manner. Also, we planned to sell this car in the next year. No one will want to purchase a vehicle with an unusable front passenger seat, so we now have a vehicle with no resale value. Who is going to reimburse us for that? |
