NHTSA Complaint #11051012 — 2016 FORD FUSION

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL OF THE AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE, BY LETTER, JULY, 2016. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A REPLACEMENT PART, TO NO AVAIL. THERE ARE NO PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONES IN MY VEHICLE, AND THE COMPANY, AS YOU KNOW, IS BANKRUPT. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE, AND I AM A SINGLE, DISABLED, LOW INCOME (SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY) WOMAN, WHO HAS HER 18 YEAR OLD SON LIVING WITH ME, AND HE ALSO RELIES ON THIS VEHICLE FOR RIDES TO AND FROM CLASS OF A WEEK, AS HE DOES NOT HAVE HIS OWN VEHICLE NOR A LICENSE AS OF YET. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT MAKES ME AND MY SON, BOTH, VERY ANXIOUS TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH THE AWARENESS THAT IT COULD KILL US IF SOMEONE HIT US OR THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DUE TO THIS FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER PARTS. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ENSURE OUR SAFETY? THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
