2009 Ford Fusion Air Bags

IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE FORD TOLD US ABOUT THE RECALL, AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. THEY ALSO WON'T GET A RENTAL CAR FOR US WHEN THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT'S DANGEROUS AND THAT WE SHOULD 'LEAVE OUR CAR SITTING' UNTIL IT'S FIXED. HOW CAN SOMEONE LEAVE THEIR CAR SITTING FOR YEARS?? FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO START ACTUALLY FIXING THESE CARS.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS BUT THERE HASN'T BEEN A SOLUTION. IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. I EXPECT EITHER MY AIRBAGS BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY OR FUNDS TO GO TOWARDS A DIFFERENT CAR, CONSIDERING THE AIRBAGS AREN'T SAFE.

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A LETTER LAST YEAR ABOUT THE RECALL, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE IT GOES OFF BY ITSELF. I CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE LETTER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR IT. THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THE PARTS COME IN. THAT WAS AROUND JANUARY OF 2018.

FORD IDENTIFIED THIS RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO, AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THEY HAVE ISSUED ME A RENTAL CAR, WHICH I HAVE HAD FOR 3 MONTHS NOW. I WANT MY FUSION TO BE REPAIRED SO I CAN DRIVE IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. FORD DEALERSHIP CALLED TO NOTIFY OF REPLACEMENT FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I ASKED WHO IS MANUFACTURING THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG, I WAS INFORMED IT'S STILL TAKATA. IS THIS SAFE?
