Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 FORD TAURUS THAT I PURCHASED FROM A PRIVATE OWNER ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WHEN DAY I WAS DRIVING IT I STARTED TO HEAR A CLATTERING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY DASH BOARD. I OPENED UP THE GLOVE BOX BEHIND IS THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT, ABOVE THIS TOWARD THE BACK IS A CONNECTION THAT LOOKS LIKE A THIN ROD THAT HAS A PLASTIC CONNECTOR. I FELT THE ROD SO I COULD FIND OUT WERE IT WENT TO, IT SEEMS TO GO INTO THE FIRE WALL. THE PLASTIC FITTING IS REAL LOOSE SO I DO NOT KNOW TWO THING`S. 1) WILL IT BEING LIKE THIS WILL IT DEPLOY FOR KNOW REASON? 2) IS THIS PART OF THE AIR BAG AND IF IT IS WOULD IT MAKE THIS KIND OF NOISE LIKE A CLATTER SINCE IT IS LOOSE? I HAVE KIDS AND A WIFE AND I DO NOT WANT THEM TO GET HURT BUY THE BAG DEPLOYING OR ANYBODY ELSE GETTING HURT. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS PLEASE TELL ME THAT THE NHTSA WILL FIX. *TR
