2007 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

TAKATA RECALL NOTICE OF RECALL ON OUR 2007 MILAN WAS RECEIVED JULY 2016 AND DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS AT LOCAL DEALERS TO MITIGATE THIS ISSUE, I AM TOLD THE PARTS REMAIN UNAVAILABLE AND TO CHECK BACK IN 3 MONTHS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR NEARLY A YEAR. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL WE ARE DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, RUPTURE AND INJURE THE PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR VEHICLE HAS RECEIVED REPLACEMENT AIRBAG(S) IN SATISFACTION OF THE RECALL NOTICE, I AM REQUESTING WE BE GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE TO DRIVE WHILE WE AWAIT REPAIRS OF THE AIRBAG.

"TAKATA RECALL" GOT RECALL NOTICE LAST YEAR AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING. IS IT SAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE? IF NOT, WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITHOUT A CAR? WILL FORD GIVE ME A LOANER VEHICLE? LETTER FROM FORD INDICATED IT IS UNSAFE TO USE VEHICLE.
