I'VE HAVE SINCE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG DEFECT ON MY CAR ONLY TO BE TOLD EACH TIME THAT NO PART IS AVAILABLE TO FIX MY CAR. SINCE I HAVE NO OTHER SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION, I'M FORCED TO DRIVE THIS POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR WITH A DEFECT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG THAT IF AN ACCIDENT SHOULD OCCUR AND THIS AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, I, THE OCCUPANTS OF MY CAR, AND/OR BOTH MAY BE KILLED BY FLYING METAL SHRAPNEL FROM THE FAULTY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR! AFTER WAITING THE FIRST 6-8 MONTHS, I REACHED OUT TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGEMENT TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BUY BACK MY FAULTY AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE SINCE NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY CAR'S FAULTY AIRBAG. OF COURSE THEY DECLINED. IT IS NOW 10/9/16 AS OF THE WRITING OF THIS COMPLAINT AND STILL NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO MY CAR AND NO ATTEMPT TO INFORM ME OF THE STATUS OF THE PARTS NECESSARY FOR THE REPAIR OF MY CAR HAVE BEEN MADE BY FORD. ANY HELP YOUR DEPARTMENT MAY AFFORD IN RESOLVING THIS OPEN RECALL WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
