I have received authorization from NHTSA to have an on-off switch for the driver air bag on 03-02-98. Bob ridings Lincoln dealer in taylorville, il has ordred this switch and as of 06-07-99 has not been received. I am a 64 year old female driver, 4'8" tall and am in very high risk of life-threatening injury should this air bag be deployed. I have investigated this situation and found that Ford Motor Co will not release this switch to be shipped by their packaging company pack-rite, phone 313-388-6400. The part no. Is F8dz14B385kc. A hugh baker of pack-rite advised me that Ford would not release this switch. I have had my congressman write, as of April 30, 199, and to date bob ridings in taylorville has not received this switch. (worden-martin will not install these switches) I am very desperate to obtain this switch and have installed and I sincerely hope you will be able to assist me and expedite the shipment of same. Thank youfor your assistiance.
