| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I took our car in to have the airbag repaired. Moises at our alhambra honda dealer said the bags were on back order and would not be available till mid-summer. We have two options he said, either we could take a "free" rental from them, which will cost my daughter $12 per day to insure, or she could continue to risk her life by driving the vehicle till the parts come. Either way, they want us to sign a waiver that absolves them from any liability should things go wrong. I find it hard to get my head around the fact that i should pay honda or takata anything for keeping my daughter out of harms way. I need to know from you if nhtsa has signed off on this disingenuous "rescue package" that honda has devised to shirk their liability. If so, i will be contacting my congressman, xavier becerra to try to rectify this bad deal. If not, will you please advise us what to do about this urgent matter. |
