I have a confirmed issue with my son's passenger side airbag. The local dealer woody anderson ford was not able to schedule repairs until march 17th and would not offer a loaner even for the day of the repair. As a result my son will have to drive an unsafe vehicle for 2 1/2 months until the repairs can be made.
