| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | It's been 15 months since being notified about the recall and i still have not been notified that the part is available for the repair. I'm concerned because my car is one of the oldest in the recall date range and it is the driver air bag, which is the one position always occupied in the vehicle and by me. There is already 140,000 miles on this vehicle and it's my daily driver so i believe it is at risk. Humidity is high in the kansas city area where this car has been for it's life. I'm concerned that the air bag in the car has not even been disconnected to prevent it from going off given i always wear a seat belt until such time as a repair can be made. |
