13 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2014

1) I heard that airbags on my car may not function as they are designed to do. There may be a recall. Please advise. 2) for the past 3-4 months, I have noticed a thumping sound/vibration when I press my brakes. It doesn't do it everyday. Some days, after the car is driven a few miles, every single time I use my brakes the first time I noticed it, I was driving and had to put on brakes suddenly and I heard it. Now it still happens, but I hear and feel a thumping underneath the floor on the left back-when there is a passanger sitting behind the driver and this sound occurs, they report to me that they can actually feel the thump under their feet. Other days I don't hear it all. If I have a full load of four people, I hear it and feel it frequently. Sometime it sounds like its under the trunk or in that back seat area. We had the car examined by a local reputable repair shop, they did not hear the thump and stated they would have to hear it or feel it in order to make any repairs. . They did examine the car and found nothing that should be making this noise, in their opinion. Do you have any suggestions on what is going on. Curret mileage: 172,000. Cell phone: 334) 549-7797.
