Escape

My airbag does not work for me I weigh 126 they said it can't be fixed it's made for a child I'm not a child. I should of been told this before I bought the Escape. I was lead to believe I had the safety of a passenger airbag. I wouldn't have bought this car if I knew this. I was lied too. I'm not safe.
