I was sent a recall letter about a year ago and I called so that I can have this fixed. They told me that at the time they are waiting for the parts. I received another letter again I called and they tell me the same story that they don't have the part. In the mean time I am driving with an unsafe vehicle that the airbag can deployed at any time. I have asked for a time frame and they didn't give me one. I need someone to help me resolve this situation. Thanks
