NOW 18 MONTHS LATER I RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER STATING PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING 2018. THE LETTER STATES "DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FIRST ROW PASSENGER SEAT." I CONTACTED THE NUMBER IN THE LETTER AND INFORMED THEM I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY 2008 RANGER THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE GENTLEMAN'S TRUCK WHO DIED AFTER STRIKING A COW IN SOUTH CAROLINA. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING FORD CAN DO. NO LOANER IS AVAILABLE, AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING FORD WOULD INVESTIGATE AND "TAKE CARE OF IT." SO IF I DIE THEY WRITE A CHECK? HOW MUCH IS ONE HUMAN LIFE GOING FOR THESE DAYS? WHEN WILL YOU PUT PRESSURE OF FORD TO EXPEDITE THESE REPAIRS OR PROVIDE LOANERS? I HAVE NOW LOST THE USE OF HALF OF MY TRUCK. I CANNOT LET MY CHILDREN, MY SPOUSE, MY PETS, OR EVEN MY BACKPACK RIDE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT.

  TAKATA RECALL= I WAS ALERTED VIA LETTER N JULY 2006 TO AN AIRBAG HAZARD WITHIN MY VEHICLE. THE LETTER BASICALLY STATED THAT AIRBAG MALFUNCTION IN MY VEHICLE MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO ME OR MY PASSENGERS. READING INFO FROM FORD'S WEBSITE IT IS STATED THAT VEHICLES WITH THE HIGHEST RISK OF AIRBAG MALFUNCTION ARE THOSE IN AREAS OF HIGH HUMIDITY AND HIGH HEAT CYCLING. I LIVE IN NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA. I THINK IT IS SAFE TO SAY I LIVE IN ONE OF THOSE HIGH RISK AREAS. NOW? I ONLY OWN ONE VEHICLE SO, I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS ONE REGARDLESS OF PERIL. ALSO FORD HAS STATED TO ME THAT THE NTSA HAS SAID THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY. THAT DOES NOT SEEM ALTOGETHER RIGHT. IF I SHOULD GET INJURED OR DIE THE BLAME WOULD LIE PARTIALLY WITH THE NTSA. IS FORD SPEAKING FOR THE NTSA? I JUST WANNA KNOW SO I CAN SUE YOU TOO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS.
