Problems with 2008 Ford Fusion AIR BAGS

Takata recall currently my dash is starting to warp, it looks as if its going to explode on its own. i have had it looked at a few times and was warned not to drive the car both times. i use this car to commute to work and drop my little brother off at school. i do not let people sit in my front seat in fear of harming them. my airbag light has been on causing me to be ineligible for inspections such as emissions, in order to receive actual plates on my car. my registration is currently suspended until i can provide proof that my car is eligible to pass, concluding why i need this airbag now. it's been two years since i was first notified and i've waited far to long thinking that ford or takata would be doing anything to help me.

2008 fusion - vehicle identification number (vin): [xxx] i am instructed by the first letter by ford in july 2016 and the postcard by tk holdings that the repair and replacement is free of charge and carried out by my dealer and i should approach my dealer, and i have approached my dealer several times throughout 2016 and 2017 but my dealer has not replaced and repaired the airbag because they/ford says no parts are available so far. i received a letter on july 2016, from ford motor company, po box 1904, dearborn, michigan 48121 and the letter states and reads important safety recall - safety recall notice 16s26 / nhtsa recall 16v-384 on your vehicle the passenger frontal airbag inflator may rupture. i have seen so often my dealer here in carlisle family ford but they always tell me that ford does not have spare parts to repair the faulty airbag. we have now november 2017 and i got a postcard that tk holdings inc has files chapter 11. they are responsible for the faulty airbag. i showed my dealer family ford in carlisle the postcard and my dealer is telling me that they are aware of tk holdings inc and that tk holdings inc has filed chapter 11 bankruptcy , but no parts are available at this time to replace and repair my faulty airbag. my dealer is also telling me that i have to keep waiting and when sometime in the near future the parts are available they/ford will send me another letter. so far ford is not replacing and repairing the faulty airbag. i just wonder when they/ford will replace and repair the faulty airbag in my car. sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Takata recall. there has been a recall on the passenger side airbag on my ford fusion for over a year. the parts to replace the airbag are still not available. i feel unsafe driving my car, as there's risk of shrapnel impaling me and the other passengers in my car. the local ford dealership stated they legally cannot disconnect the passenger side airbag in my car. i fear for my safety driving my own car. it should not take this long to have my car fixed.

All local ford dealers do not have the replacement air bag that has been recalled for my vehicle to remedy the potential dangerous situation from my takata airbag since june 1, 2016.

Takata recall in june 2016 i received a recall notice from ford (16s26) on a takata passenger. as of oct 2017 there has been no solution provided. last week i got a notice saying that takata is ending all claims on dec 27 when i called takata and ford, neither company could tell me what to do other than to wait for a pending solution. so if the airbag goes off and causes an injury after dec 27th i have no recourse. since the terms of the document they gave me indicate that i can submit a claim for future incidences i tried going to the website to do so but the link to fill out the claim for is not working.
