TAKATA RECALL AT LEAST TWO YEARS AGO, I WAS NOTIFIED (VIA MAIL) OF THE TAKATA RECALL. I'VE CALLED AROUND TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS SEVERAL TIMES BUT WAS TOLD BY EACH THAT PARTS FOR THAT RECALL WASN'T AVAILABLE AND THEY WASN'T SURE WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THEM IN. ALSO, I'VE HAD THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR 3 WEEKS PRIOR OF GETTING THE ONE I CURRENTLY HAVE DUE TO AN ACCIDENT WHERE NEITHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THOUGH NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN MY CURRENT VEHICLE, I FEAR THAT IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN, I CAN'T RELY ON THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS TO PROTECT MY OCCUPANTS. I'VE TAKEN THE NECESSARY STEPS TO TRY AND HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AS SOON AS I CAN BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE IF THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE AIRBAG IS A VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT ON THE CAR AND KNOWING THAT IT DOESN'T WORK SUFFICIENTLY, TERRIFIES ME EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.
