I have been notified that as of june 1, 2016, there is a recall on my car's passenger airbag. They still cannot fix the problem and it is unsafe for me to have a passenger sitting in the front of my car. My family has no choice to use the front seat of the car. What other help can i get to have my family in a safe vehicle.

The dashboard is bulging it doesn't look good and it doesn't feel safe. I wonder if it would activate correctly at an impact during an accident or if it would activate while riding down the road. It started on the right side passenger and it has slowly moved to the left side driver. This started happening over 2 years ago and it's slowly become worse. Ford needs to be held accountable for the fix this is cosmetic…

I have contacted several ford dealerships and they have not been able to sufficiently address the airbag recall and provide me with any alternatives. The passenger airbag dash area is visually affected and i am afraid for the safety of my family while in this car.
