2006 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

I AM UNDERSTANDING MY AIRBAGS TAKATA ARE DEFECTIVE AND UNDER RECALL I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED. MY AIRBAGS IN FRONT ARE PROTRUDING FROM MY DASHBOARD AND I'M CONCERNED IF MY CAR GETS HIT OR ANYTHING TO JAR THEM IT WILL DEPLOY. PLEASE ADVISE

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN NEARLY 2 YEARS SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT PART FOR MY VEHICLE. FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TAKING THIS SAFETY RECALL VERY SERIOUSLY.

TAKATA RECALL- AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR WAS IN A FEW PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS WHERE THE AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH IS THE RECALLED SIDE, I AM WORRIED ABOUT IT EXPLODING AS MY RECALL STATED. MY RECALL ALSO STATED THAT BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVERS AIRBAGS , WHEN DEPLOYED, CAN DEPLOY WITH SHARDS OF METAL AND GLASS FRAGMENTS. I AM A SHORT PERSON GENERALLY AND SIT CLOSE TO THE WHEEL SO I CAN REACH EVERYTHING. I ALSO HAVE MANY NIECES AND NEPHEWS WHO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY .IT HAS BEEN A WHILE NOW AND I HAVE BEEN CALLING AND HEARD NOTHING ABOUT A SOLUTION FOR IT AND IM WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO , ASIDE FROM GETTING A NEW VEHICLE , THAT CAN HELP KEEP MY FAMILY AND I SAFE. AS WELL AS, HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT MY CAR CAN TAKE BEFORE THAT THING EXPLODES ON ME.
