Description of the problem | The car contains a defective takata air bag, for which a recall has been issued. Several months ago i received a letter from ford stating the airbag must be replaced. I contacted the ford dealer where i purchased the car, and they told me they had no idea when the airbag could be replaced. I asked if they would give me a special deal in trading up to a 2015 mustang that doesn't have the airbag problem. They said no. I also contacted ford hq who indicated i basically have two options at this time: not driving the car (which has only 3100 miles on it) or drive it at the risk of being killed if the air bag explodes. Do i have any other recourse? |
