AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY
I HAVE RECEIVED AUTHORIZATION FROM NHTSA TO HAVE AN ON-OFF SWITCH FOR THE DRIVER AIR BAG ON 03-02-98. BOB RIDINGS LINCOLN DEALER IN TAYLORVILLE, IL HAS ORDRED THIS SWITCH AND AS OF 06-07-99 HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED. I AM A 64 YEAR OLD FEMALE DRIVER, 4'8" TALL AND AM IN VERY HIGH RISK OF LIFE-THREATENING INJURY SHOULD THIS AIR BAG BE DEPLOYED. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS SITUATION AND FOUND THAT FORD MOTOR CO WILL NOT RELEASE THIS SWITCH TO BE SHIPPED BY THEIR PACKAGING COMPANY PACK-RITE , PHONE 313-388-6400. THE PART NO. IS F8DZ14B385KC. A HUGH BAKER OF PACK-RITE ADVISED ME THAT FORD WOULD NOT RELEASE THIS SWITCH. I HAVE HAD MY CONGRESSMAN WRITE, AS OF APRIL 30, 199, AND TO DATE BOB RIDINGS IN TAYLORVILLE HAS NOT RECEIVED THIS SWITCH. (WORDEN-MARTIN WILL NOT INSTALL THESE SWITCHES) I AM VERY DESPERATE TO OBTAIN THIS SWITCH AND HAVE INSTALLED AND I SINCERELY HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME AND EXPEDITE THE SHIPMENT OF SAME. THANK YOUFOR YOUR ASSISTIANCE.
