AFTER LEAVING MY CAR FOR A DAY AT THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET. TODAY, AUGUST 15TH, 2018 I AM STILL UNABLE TO GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED AS THE FORD DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS. I WAS INFORMED THEY MAY HAVE THEM BY SEPTEMBER 2018. HOW SERIOUS IS THIS FAILURE? SHOULD I NOT ALLOW ANYBODY IN MY PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THIS IS CORRECTED? WHOSE FAULT WILL IT BE IF MY CAR IS STRUCK AND SOMEBODY DIES DUE TO AIRBAG FAILURE?
