Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2004 SAAB 9-3

2004 SAAB 9-3. Consumer writes in regards to driver airbag inflator recall notice.

Takata inflators: I recently received my safety recall notice for the driver airbag defect in my 2004 SAAB 9-3. I understand the circumstances and that the repair parts for this defect are currently not available. I also understand the severe implications to this defect in case of an accident. I have talked to my certified service center and they suggested I reach out to you because I would like you to issue me a written approval to authorize them to disconnect the air bag to remove the risks. The dealership told me that in the past they have received requests to disconnect passenger airbags when someone needed to use a car seat and they did not want the airbag to explode on impact. This is a similar situation, where I do not want the airbag to explode on impact due to a defective part. Since you are unable to fix this problem immediately, and I need to be able to drive the car, I cannot be driving a car that can cause serious injuries or death if I were to get in an accident. Therefore, the only option is to disconnect the hazard so the car can still be safely driven. The seatbelt is in place, along with side airbags for safety. Once you have supplied the parts to fix the airbag, then it can be installed and reconnected. Thank you,.
