A: You shouldn't drive the car until it's repaired and you need to speak with an attorney. Depending on the facts and circumstances of your case, you may have a legitimate action for damages against the seller and/or repair shop (e.g. consumer fraud). They shouldn't be dragging their feet on an airbag replacement and telling you not to have a passenger sounds reprehensible.
