Problems with 2007 Lincoln MKZ AIR BAGS

I have received letter for recall and letter stating there parts available for this recall. i called the nearest dealer an gave my info and the response was that they have not yet received parts. i attempted again being that i had not heard from them after them stating that they would call when parts came available. it's has been over a year, an in the year i have been in two accidents. i need this issue to be fixed replaced or refunded of the car value. the wait has been way too long causing anxiety with the stress of being severely hurt or even killed. * (recall related incident) ts

Passenger airbag not functional

After receiving a letter in the mail regarding my airbag recall, i brought my vehicle into warren ford to have the airbags recall resolved. when i picked up my car there was now an airbag light on, on the dash. prior to having any work done there were no dash lights on. warren ford informed us upon request that there is "nothing they are willing to do." this is an issue because prior to the work being done i had no issues and now there is a light on showing me that there is some type of safety concern now. since the light wasn't on when we originally brought it to the shop for the airbag recall, there must have been some kind of mistake while they were working on the vehicle. the airbag recall really has nothing to do with the issue now, the issue now is that warren ford should be held responsible for not fixing/resolving the airbag light issue that is only on since they completed the airbag replacement. this recall work was completed around december of 2018. warren ford stated it was not a life threatening concern and told us to bring the car back as soon as it was convenient to have them resolve the light issue. then when we brought the car back thats when they said theres nothing to be done and they are not responsible to do the work.

The heating element in the driver's seat is known to go bad in the 2007 models and i think some 2008 ford models vehicle also. when i push the electric heat seat button it will turn red for a minute but the heating element will not work in the back or in the seat area of the driver's side. other people i know have had the same problem with their ford same here different model and make and have found the solution to be a new wiring harness / connector to replace the factory one apparently one of the wires burnt out from the factory causing it to short. are videos of this on youtube thank you for any and all help. it started by getting extremely hot and turning off really quick on its own and every time after that turning off quicker and quicker until it would not turn back on only show the red light for a brief minute.......... i have enclosed pictures information for the airbags on the passenger side that are suggested to be replaced again any help in resolving these problems would be greatly appreciate it thank you for the time.
