Takata recall letter sent to me from Ford dated july 2015. Have called Ford they said call local dealer, called local dealer twice since july 2015 and am told they don't have the parts to repair. How long are we supposed to wait, do we need to file another lawsuit to get these companies to do the right thing? What on earth is taking so long? Can not afford to buy another car is this one safe to own and drive? Air bags
