I GOT A LETTER IN JULY 2015 THAT I NEED TO HAVE MY AIRBAG FIXED. I HAVE CALL FORD IN ALTOONA PA AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT BUT THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON THEY WILL FIX IT RIGHT NOW. I JUST WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED. I DRIVE THIS CAR EVERYDAY IT NEEDS FIXED NOW.

FRONT AIR BAG MAY RUPTURE AND DEPLOY METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE DRIVER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. I CONTACTED FORD AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERN AND THEY SAID IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE. I ASKED FOR LOANER OR A RENTAL UNTIL FORD GOT PARTS TO FIX PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NO. I'M VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THE WAY FORD IS HANDLING THIS.
