The advanced trac light stayed on all the time. Took to Ford dealer and costed 100.00 to check light, they said was restraint control module, it affected brakes, advanced trac, air bags and anti-tip over device. The vehicle only had 3500 miles on it. The part is rediculously priced!! 650.00 is outrageous!!!

Takata airbags I received a letter today (12/22/2017) from Ford informing me to not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat. This is a 2 seat pickup truck which means I can not use this vehicle with anyone but myself. How am I supposed to use this to transport family members ? This recall was issued on june of 2016 which is 18 months ago. Why is Ford being allowed to put off fixing a safety defect for 18 months and is now telling owners they can't have anyone else in the vehicle but the driver. This is my second email regarding this recall the first was submitted in may of 2017, I heard nothing back from the ntsb regarding my first complaint. This latest update from Ford is an outrage which basically leaves me with a vehicle that I cannot use to transport family member

Takata recall. In july 2016, I received safety recall notice 16s26 / NHTSA recall 16v-384. Several times I have called the local Ford service dept. And been told that parts are not available. It has been over 6 months since I received the recall notice. It is either a safety issue or not, safety is being compromized.

Takata recall never got the passenger airbag replaced! Ford said they can't do it !!!!!!!!!!!
Tanaka airbag recall did not supply remedy
Takata recall = was informed to have passenger airbag replaced at dealership free of charge. When contacting dealership, they continue to tell me that replacement parts have not been made available and to call tk holdings. Tk holdings toll free number only gives instructions on how to file an electronic claim as a result of death or injury. Also contacted NHTSA toll free line and they too only provide info on filing a claim before deadline date of dec 27. No is able to repair my vehicle, nor tell any kind of timeframe as to when parts will be available for repair. This is quite stressful knowing any passengers in my vehicle is at risk, yet no one seems to be making any kind of attempt to assist me!
Takata recall NHTSA recall number 16v384 I was notified in july of the recall for this safety issue. It is now 5 months later and there is no remedy. I do not feel this issue has been handled in a timely manner

Truck shifter is sticking, the antilock light trouble light comes on and truck will not shift from park. My son who is a mechanic says the brake switch is bad, you have to step on brake and wait for a click then the vehicle will shift into gear. So I tried this and indeed is the issue. This truck only has 40k miles on it. Problem started at about 30k miles I did not know that the issue was a switch. I just thought the shifter was sticking. I had complained of this problem to dealership but it never was bad when they looked at it. Now it is getting to point of being a problem. The trouble light only comes on after trying to put truck into gear, then light stays on for random amount of time. Truck was stationary to begin with. It doesn't matter where location is, it is random timing when thi
