I am filing this complaint to alert the nhtsa of a air bag safety issues in my 2006 ford mustang. recently a safety defect issue was discovered about particular models of vehicles that received air bags from the manufacturer takata. i took the liberty of doing the research on the issues of which the air bag when deployed can send shards of metal or shrapnel into the upper region of both the driver and/or passenger. my year, make, model, and time-frame of vehicle purchased matched with the vehicles identified as being affected with one exception, my vehicle resides in a cold weather state. as my safety and the safety of my passengers is of the utmost important i contacted ford directly to have the issue remedied to be relayed that my vehicle was not a safety concern. primarily the claim that living someplace with cold weather somehow protects me from experiencing this deadly issue. to note. colorado is a state that does in fact reach temperatures between the months of may-october of 100+ degrees on a multiple day basis(please review weather reports). in addition depending on where in colorado you are located there are areas of humid + hot weather conditions that you can experience. i do not have the option to have my air bag disabled by ford to protect my well being until a thorough investigation is completed, nor has ford reached out to consumers to identify what steps they are taking to ensure their safety. my well being is not being protected as it should and i would like something done about the issue. i would like to have the air bags in my vehicle removed and replaced to ensure that nothing as described in the recall occurs. while the manufacturers of the air bag and/or car company's may not feel i am at risk, they are not driving a vehicle with what equates to a potential ied in the steering wheel, and i should not be forced to take that chance. *tr

It has been 3 years since i initially received the recall for the passenger airbag. my wife drives the car with children often seated in the affected passenger seat.
