Problems with 2008 Ford Fusion AIR BAGS

Takata recall

Purchased used vehicle in 2016 with defective airbag.. airbag is has still not been replaced and dealer has no idea when it will be. have not been able to make use of passenger side front seating since purchase date. was notified that replacement would likely be during third quarter of 2018 but that did not happen and no loaner vehicle can be provided by dealer.

The airbag for my vehicle has been recalled for almost an entire year, and the parts to fix it have not yet been made available. this is not being taken care of in a timely manner. the area on the dashboard around the airbag has significant warping, and i have been advised against using the front passenger seat.

My vehicle has had an airbag recall for the front passenger (takata brand) airbag. i've received many notices for this issue since i've purchased the car (august, 2014). after calling ford multiple times, i've been told that the products have not arrived to replace the possibly damaged parts. my car has been in one accident in the past three years (roughly fall/winter of 2016). the airbags did not deploy, which is worrisome because at this point i'm unsure if it's because it wasn't necessary or because they are malfunctioning. please advise and let me know how i can further evaluate and solve this issue. thanks!

Takata recall: i received a recall notice from ford about a year ago and to warn about passenger side airbag recall and to avoid having passengers sit in the car due to danger of injury or death due to flying parts of airbag in a collision. ford still has not replaced the airbag and the dealer says that ford has not released any parts to replace the airbag. i believe it will be one year in july. can ford be forced to replace these airbags soon? or provide a buy-back option for the car in case they cannot repair it? especially after 1 year? thank you!
