My father was killed in downtown meade kansas less than 20 miles per hour hit by 2 semis on highway 54. I have no idea whether airbags were involved in his death but I thought drivers side had been replaced they hadn't got drivers side last week! He was turning left have traffic report but in some part officer lied on report, I tried to grt 3 attornies to take to court but none wanted to cause of immunity.
"takata recall" I have been trying to get an appointment to have this air bag replaced. This is safety recall notice19s01 / NHTSA recall 19v-010. It is on a 2009 ford ranger pickup. It has been 3 months sense I went in to schedule an appointment, been back in 2 more times t see what the hold up is & I get the run around. I just called ford motors and they suggested that I go to a dealer 30 miles away. My local dealer where I bought the truck new is less than 1 mile away. My phone number is [xxx].
