| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I have received two notices stating that my vehicle is one of those having the takata airbags and that we can have "free replacement airbags". I have contacted approved dealerships several times in my area, only to be told that takata has not released the "parts" to replace my airbags yet (this has been ongoing for two years). I called a dealership again today and was told the same thing. I drive my car daily with these defective airbags with the hopes that we don't get into any accidents which causes me great anxiety and stress. Two years is too long to still be waiting on parts to fix a problem that should have never been. When will this be fixed? |
