Car was brought into dealer for repair of "severe vibration in steering column when car is idling in gear " complaint. Dealer diagnosed the problem and determined car's entire steering assembly including the air bag must be replaced. Dealer is not able to locate an air bag to complete the service nearly 4 months after the car was bought in for repair. I have contacted Ford who has verified that the air bag is on "national back order". Ford also claims to have no knowledge of when this part will be available. How can an important safety part be unavailable for such an excessive period of time" nobody has been able to help me. I've even called the office of Ford's CEO, jack nasser, with no succesful results. Is this car safe to drive? did you ever hear of such a situation" please help !!!
