| Description of the problem | Takata recall - i have been notified for close to two years now that my airbag is defective and needs replacement due to the recall. I have been very patient in waiting for a replacement but until today when i received noticed that this company is filing for bankruptcy i feel less confident that there will be a replacement in time. I do not feel comfortable driving my car knowing a defective airbag is in it. When contacting the dealership for a replacement they have advised that they are in back order and this has been going on for close to two years. Something so serious in my car that can potential impact my family an i is unacceptable and should be fixed immediately. I don't feel i can enjoy my car fully due to the constant concern of these recalled airbags in my car. |
