Saab recall. I received both seat belt retractor and airbag inflate defect safety recall notice. However, in my car the seat belt retractor malfunction is in the driver side. I have called the saab official service center and the dealer for both problems several days up today and I have not had an answer or solution to those problems. Besides, I have tried to repair the seat belt, but I can't find the part. As you can see in the attached photos to drive with a seat belt in that conditions is extremely dangerous. However, I feel that I am not safe driving my car, and that the hazard has increased with this car's airbag malfunction. I am a 79 years old man who has this car as the only mean of transportation that I have.

Takata recall: I contacted my dealer as instructed and was informed that there are no parts and no information as to when the parts will be available. I asked them to disconnect my seemingly murderous airbag and they said it was illegal. Why is it not illegal to have to wait for an indefinite period of time to repair something that is potentially very dangerous or even fatal? I believe takata should offer rental cars to those waiting and if they had to assume that financial responsibility they may come up with the repair parts faster. Is there another way to address this situation? Is any action being taken to motivate takata to deal with this in a more efficient manner? Even if I were to sell the car, the recall would make it unwanted by any customer. Please let me know how to resolve this.
