NHTSA Complaint #11063169 — 2007 FORD EDGE

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE SOME ONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF DEPLOYED 'METAL FRAGMENTS-TO BE EXPELLED CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.'I CALLED FORD TO SEE IF THEY MIGHT HAVE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION REGUARDING THIS HAZARDOUS RECALL, SINCE THE POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT WILL NOT BECOME AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SPRING OF 2018, THE REPRESENTATIVE COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH AN ANSWER. ACCORDING TO THE REP FORD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE. THIS AIRBAG INFLATOR IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN MY LIFE AND I WOULD HAVE LIKED IF THEY HAD RENTALS FOR THE DURATION OF THIS ISSUE. NOT ONLY IS IT A HAZARD FOR THE OWNER AND MY FAMILY BUT IT IS UNETHICAL FOR FORD COMPANY NOT TO CONSIDER WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO OWN DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. I OWN THIS FORD AND HAVE A FAMILY OF FIVE. I DON'T HAVE OTHER MEANS TO TRAVEL AND TAKE KIDS TO SCHOOL, SOCCER, AND SOFTBALL. THIS VEHICLE IS OUR ONLY WAY TO BE WHERE WE HAVE TO BE. FORD IS WRONG FOR PUTTING US OUT AND PUTTING MY FAMILYS LIVES JEOPARDY.
