Takata recall - have not had an issue as yet since I am not suppose to drive the car until recall is satisfied. When will replacement airbags be available so we can use the vehicle. We have a vehicle we are told is unsafe to drive. Why are parts not available. Why can't ford rectify the situation!! I can't sell the car in without having this corrected and not suppose to drive it. I cannot afford to buy a brand new car and leave this one sitting there in the garage. From reading below, I guess this can happen even without a crash, just driving the vehicle.

Takata recall... Dash bulging at air bag area, getting worse, passenger side. Afraid to drive car. I'm 77 yo and take my 74 yo sister places several times per week (doctors etc.). We're very scared. Two ford dealerships said my car has no recalls but yet I see it listed as having a recall regarding this issue. Why don't they know this?

So ford sends us a recall notice telling us death could occur for the airbag malfunction but that no solution is available. The good news is ford will contact us when a solution is available at which time they will fix the car. In the meantime there is nothing they can do given it is a supplier problem. So now what do we do? Always drive the car with no one but the driver? Called ford and that is basically the only answer they have.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 mercury milan. The contact stated that the front passenger side air bag housing was separated from the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be inspected, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000. The VIN was not available.
Passenger side air bag is in dashboard. Cover on air bag is lifting up. Took it into dealership. They said that happens because of the heat and that unless the air bag light goes on the air bag itself is ok. They would have to replace the entire dashboard at a cost of over $2000.00. Noticed it in 2014 for the first time. A year later and it is getting worse with more of the cover buckling up. Had the car back at the dealership for oil change and asked service dept. Manager about it again. He said it's not a big deal - he's seen it before. Just needs some glue but they won't repair it. Called around to various vinyl repair and car repair places. No one will touch it because it's by the air bag. We live in northeast ohio - not a warm state like florida. This shouldn't be happening and if it is just the cover then why won't the dealership fix it with whatever glue was used when they manufactured the car? I don't want to risk the airbag deploying. I googled this problem and there are other people out there with the same issue in the 2007 and the 2008 milan but no one has responded to their questions of how to repair it. Updated 09/09/15*lj
Front, passenger-side dashboard housing the front, passenger-side airbag has become completely warped. This is a safety hazard that will not allow the front, passenger-side airbag to deploy properly. No parts are available online to resolve this issue.

My car was sitting for a month in my driveway. I just got back from vacation. Next day I was going to work, my air bag light came on. I was not sure if it was safe for me to drive to work. Right away I called my garage and they told me that I should bring it in to get it inspected. Upon inspection they realized that the sensor under my passengers seat was malfunctioning. They gave me the exact name of the problem. Its a b2290 occupant classification system status, front passenger side. The problem is that I'm the only one that drives that car and rarely does somebody sit in the passenger seat. Something needs to be done with this problem. I m not the first one to have this same problem. My garage fixed the problem. But I believe that this should be posted on the recalls for this type of car. This is a serious safety hazard concern.
Involved in a serious motor vehicle crash on 8/14/08 in my vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy. This was a side, almost t-bone impact, and the curtain/side air bags did not deploy. As a result I had glass lacerations and my head hit the driver's window, smashing it and causing injury to my head.
I am 26 years old and weigh 93 lbs. When I sit in the passenger seat of my 2008 mercury milan, the sensors in the seat sometimes tell the car that I am a child and deactivates the passenger airbag. I cannot drive in a car where my airbag may or may not be activated. The ford dealership said that they cannot adjust the weight because of federal guidelines. Something needs to change. I am not going to sit in the back seat. Either the dealership needs to fix the problem or the weight requirement needs to be adjusted.
