I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT IF I WAS TO GET INTO ANY CRASH MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY AND SEND OUT METAL PARTICLES THAT WILL SERIOUSLY INJURE ME OR CAUSE MY DEATH. NOT TO MENTION HURTING A PASSENGER. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THE PARTS WON'T BE IN UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR, POSSIBLY. SO IT COULD BE LONGER. SO EVERYDAY I HAVE TO DRIVE A DEATH TRAP KNOWING IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITHIN THIS TIME I COULD DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. I DO NOT LIKE THAT I HAVE TO WAIT AND JUST HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIFE IN DANGER. I JUST SURVIVED CANCER AND I'LL BE [XXX] IF I AM GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF FORD MOTOR CO. I ASKED THEM ABOUT A LOANER CAR....THEY SAID NO. THEY SAID THE CAR IS OKAY TO DRIVE....WELL NO IT ISN'T....EVERYDAY I WORRY AND AT ANYTIME SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN. I ASKED IF I CAN GET THEM TO DEPLOY THE BAG UNTIL THEY GET THE PART (I WOULD RATHER HAVE NO AIRBAG (LIKE IN THE OLDER DAYS), THEN TO HAVE AN AIRBAG THAT COULD KILL ME). I AM CONSIDERING GOING TO THE NEWS (NOT SURE WHAT THEY WILL DO). I AM SOOOOO VERY UPSET. I JUST BOUGHT THIS MUSTANG IN JAN THIS YEAR.
