I found my wifes Ford Fusion under recall and after many attempts to have the airbags replaced I have been told there are no airbags available for the recall at this time. Her airbag light has stayed on after starting her car at least 4 times this year, I have found no way to safely disconnect or turn off the airbags until new airbags are available, I worry every time she drives her car or has passengers with her, especially her elderly handicapped mother or when we have our 5 month old granddaughter with us, what if the airbags go off for no reason" who pays? what if there are deaths, not just in our car, but what if the bags cause us to hit another car head on, then what" we are terrified of these airbags and need help!
