Takata recall. On 3/25/15 I had my driver side air bag replaced per Ford recall 14B09. Then in July of 2015 I got a letter from Ford stating that the airbag had to be replaced again and was still under recall. The number of this recall is 15S21 and Ford would send me a letter when parts were available. In February of 2016 I still had not heard from Ford so I called my dealer and they told me parts were not available. At the same time I emailed Ford and the reply was to wait for parts to be available. Finally on 5/25/16 I emailed Ford again trying to find out if parts were available and I was told that I would be notified in the "very near future" about the availability of parts. As of today 6/30/16 I still have not heard about the parts being available. It has been since March 2015 that I have been driving around with a possible defective airbag in my Mustang. Apparently the replacement airbag they put in on 3/25/15 may also be defective per Ford. My wife and I drive this vehicle and I don't know if it is safe to drive. I actually asked Ford if the vehicle was safe to drive and they did not really answer that question. I live in an area of high heat in phoenix and I am wondering if our lives are in danger driving this vehicle. Apparently my vehicle is on the priority two list for getting the airbag replaced whatever that means. Is there any way to speed this up? thank you.
