I received a recall letter Saturday, stating that the airbag could deploy without warning. They won't fix it for 6 months! this is absurd. I have 1 in 2000 chances of experiencing this defect. I want to disconnect it until the parts come in but two dealerships I contacted said they couldn't! that is even more absurd. Tell me what to do now!
