Problems with 2007 Ford Mustang AIR BAGS

Takata recall passenger side airbag has not been available after almost two years

The 2007 mustang pulled out from the side-street in front of an older chevy pickup at a tee intersection in a suburban neighborhood with very restricted sight distance, and was t-boned on the driver's side by the pickup travelling at around 35 mph. the driver's side of the mustang was severely damaged to the extent that the left front wheel/tire/suspension assembly was ripped off the car. the point of impact was between the left front wheel and the middle of the driver's door. the mustang is a one-owner car which was bought new and was specifically purchased with side airbags (an option on 2007 mustangs). the vehicle has been well-maintained. the airbag tab was visible on the seat side bolster. despite the severity of the impact, the side airbag did not deploy. we have photos documenting the positioning of the vehicles and the damage to the mustang, including showing the side airbag tab and side of the driver's seat with the side airbag obviously not deployed. we believe that the side airbag was defective since it did not deploy. note: the steering wheel airbag (subject to the takata recall but not yet replaced) did deploy correctly.

To whom it may concern, i'm the owner of this 2007 mustang. i don't think that the manufacturer has been complying with correcting the air bag recall in a timely manner. the fact that this is a very important, safety related matter i think that it's a crime that ford can continue to sell as many new vehicles as they get orders for and have no trouble getting air bag components for them, but not able to supply dealers with the parts to fulfill their obligation on ones that are in need of them that are already on the road! i don't drive the vehicle nearly as much as i used to because of the safety hazard related to this matter. i'm very fortunate, i've got another vehicle to drive, many people don't have that option. to sum it all up, i feel that that ford should be doing more to correct a safety related defect in these vehicles that is part of a recall that i was notified about 2 years ago! they should either fix these vehicles or buy them back. i would prefer that they fix them as i really enjoy this car but don't feel safe putting myself or my passengers at risk by driving it anymore!

I was following my wife to the jeep dodge cherokee dealership to get her recall taking care of. on the way there at the off ramp of 575 and riverstone parkway i made a right turn to get off on the ramp to exit and i heard a loud thud and the motor accelerated very loud and odd sounding. i was unable to control the vehicle. the only thing i could do to keep from running into anyone was slam on the brakes when i did that the breaks gave a loud screech and was very slow to stop. i ended up hitting 3 cars on the left side none of the airbags deployed nor did any of the seatbelt lock so the only thing i had to stop me from hitting my head against the steering wheel was to put my hands out in front of me on the steering wheel. when the impact happen it was so fierce that my right hand gave out and was snatched of the steering wheel and i damaged my right arm on the steering wheel column. still kind of hurts and i still have scars.
