Several weeks ago, my car was recalled. Because of the car's history, the air bag inflator is more likely than average to kill me if it activates (explodes). The dealerships in my area (there are several) cannot obtain replacement parts. . . Needed to fix the problem. . . For 18 to 24 months. This delay is due to manufacturing issues and the coronavirus pandemic. My car is not designed to allow the installation of an on/off switch for the air bags. Therefore, I would like to have the exploder disabled until replacement parts are available. None of the dealerships in my area will do this, without written authorization from the NHTSA. I've been trying to fins a way to ask the NHTSA to send me a written deactivation authorization. Also. . . The dealership would need instructions on how this (disabling the bomb in my steering wheel) can be done without affecting the normal operation of the car. I would need approved directions from the NHTSA to give to the dealership's mechanics. Alternately, I can continue to drive my car on a daily basis, in the presence of an active, deadly, explosive device. . . For the next 18 to 24 months.
