AIR BAGS 2026-06-15 · NHTSA 11744306

I received a letter from FORD identifying my Ranger as in need of an airbag replacement under recall, for free installation and parts. I called the only Ford dealer in town, Capitol Ford, Santa Fe, NM, and was told they were unable to replace my airbag because they did not have the parts for it and did not know when they would get the parts. That was about 4 years ago. Recently, I called the same FORD dealer and made an appointment via a text message to get the airbag replaced under recall. When I took my Ranger in for service at the time arranged, the dealer did not give me any paperwork or receipt or work order. The service dept. personnel just asked for my keys and agreed that I would wait in the lobby. After 2 hours I asked the service personnel whether my airbag had been replaced and a staff member informed me that I would need to leave it all day to get the airbag replaced. I was not prepared to wait all day for this, so I informed this person I needed to reschedule the air bag replacement appointment. He then told me he would not give me my Ranger until I agreed not to request Capitol Ford to replace my airbag, he said I had to agree to take it to another dealer for airbag replacement. I then said I was calling the police to report he stole my vehicle. Only then did he agree to return my Ranger to me. Then, I called the Ford manufacturer and recounted these events. The representative called Capitol Ford to make an appointment for me for the airbag replacement while I waited on the line. After waiting, the rep returned to the line and informed me the dealer refused to make an appointment for said airbag replacement and hung up. I have not heard back from the manufacturer and that was last week. I received no documentation, receipt, or work order from Capitol Ford when I dropped off my Ranger for service as described above.

I'm looking to buy this truck from a private sale. If I do, and the recall has not been completed, will the manufacturer still fix it for free?

Took my 2011 Ford Ranger to the local dealer for the mandatory airbag and knee plate replacement pick up the vehicle they gave me paperwork saying the parts have been replaced happened to be working under the dash yesterday and found that parts were not replaced bolts were missing whether or not they removed anything or not I would doubt it and highly doubt that the airbags were replaced being as the main structural replacement wasn't replaced as the repair order says it was obviously there's a fraud involved here because the dealers claiming they repair the car per a safety recall and didn't or did a half-ass job and replace some parts or not all I don't really know is I'm not taking apart the steering column to get to the airbags but I do know that the knee plate which was should have been replaced and the repair order says was was not which makes me believe nothing was replaced I had issues right from the get-go trying to get this repair done now to find out it was fraud so I am now driving a 2011 Ford Ranger that is most likely as dangerous as it was before the airbags were supposedly replaced this needs to be looked into but I will not go back to that dealer especially after what I found I have paper documentation claiming they did the work but didn't please advise and investigate

My vehicle has a safety recall the dealership refuses to repair and the manufacturer has been no help.

TIRES 2022-11-27 · NHTSA 11495059

The spare tire fell off the vehicle, including the hoist, while driving down the road. The frame crossmember holding the hoist is rotted through, with virtually no other rust anywhere else on the body and frame. Yes, you can come see it at any time. I have not bothered taking it to a dealership. Since no property damage occured, I did not call the police. Unable to find a replacement crossmember- this vehicle is now out of service, as only the bumper and bed mounts are holding the rear frame together.

AIR BAGS 2022-10-13 · NHTSA 11489070

The faulty airbag is unable to be replaced due to Ford not being able to get replacement parts. It puts me at risk every day that I drive it because if I got into an accident and the airbag deploys, it can project metal shards into my body which can be life threatening or even cause death.

I live in Florida. It has been 15 months since Ford notified me that a second airbag needed replacing. I have not heard from them since then. This is not what I would consider a timely replacement. The truck is a 2011 and I'm 73 years old. I feel the Ford is trying to run out the clock on my repair.

HI, I BOUGHT MY 2011 FORD RANGER SPORT AT A CAR DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS, AND I PAY $340 A MONTH IN PAYMENTS. THE COMPANY THAT SOLD ME THE TRUCK IS NETAUTOMOBILE. IT WAS APPROX $18,000. I STILL OWE A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS TRUCK. I FOUND OUT THAT THE TRUCKS FRAME IS RUSTED BADLY, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THIS. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK, AND LOVE TO DRIVE IT. IT HONESTLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THANK YOU SHELLY GUERRERO 336 OAK AVE WOOD DALE, IL 60191

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD RANGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V158000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT YET MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. When the Ranger pax airbag bomb was revealed I simply did not carry any pax until the pax airbag was replaced. Now I get the news that the driver airbag is also a bomb. And parts are not yet available. Why did DOT/NHTSA not order Ford to disable the airbag system until the recall could be completed? I'm supposed to drive around with an armed lethal explosive device, known to be fatal if activated, in the middle of my steering wheel until Ford gets around to replacing it. Am I missing something or are you guys all nuts? I wonder if you would please let me know how many additional people have died since you issued the recall on 2021-03-25 because you did nothing to stop it'.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED SINCE THE RECALL CAME OUT IN FEBRUARY AND I HAVE BEEN BLOWN OFF 3 TIMES BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TIME I CALLED I WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE DEPT. REP THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PARTS IN MARCH AND TO CALL BACK IN 5 WEEKS IF THEY DID NOT CALL ME. AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY I CALLED AND I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RECORD OF ME CALLING AND TALKING TO ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ONCE AGAIN TOOK MY INFORMATION AND I TALK WITH A MARISSA. AGAIN I WAS ASKED TO CHECK BACK IN A MONTH IF I WAS NOT CONTACTED. LAST WEEK I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT NOBODY HAD ORDERED THE PARTS. THIS TIME SOMEONE NAMED CARLA TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO COME INTO SURPRISE FORD DEALERSHIP AT 7AM TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED ONLY TO FIND OUT FROM THEM THAT I WAS NOT IN THE SYSTEM AND NO PARTS WERE ORDERED.
