15 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2014

Purchased a car from : platinum auto group, inc. 29300 goddard rd. Romulus, mi 48174 phone- 313-205-4844 platinum auto specializes in buying, repairing and selling wrecked rebuilt used cars. The car had been in an accident and was repaired as we were told we took the car to get looked over after we received it. Our Ford mechanic advised us the passenger air bag had not been properly fixed and that he was not sure if it would operate properly and if it would, even if it would be safe. The hole in the dash caused by the previous accident had been patched with a rubber floor mat and not to Ford motor specs. When we confronted the dealer about the patch job we were told it was " a custom made air bag cover, we use them all the time" he said. Dealer finally agreed to repair air bag as well as other items on the car. We got the run around for several months, dealer told us they would fix it and never have. We now have a car that we can't drive as it is not safe and will not pass nebraska safety inspection as it sits. I have pictures of the dash for review. I would like to be contacted by your agency as to a resolution.
