| Description of the problem | "takata recall" mbusa says that they are waiting for nhtsa to tell them when the new airbags will be available in my area (california). They blame the nhtsa for the delay---read the faq on their website. I am complaining that why the nhtsa is not taking this matter serious enough and why they do not tell mbusa to change my airbags. Why telling us this safety matter when nhtsa is not fast enough to fix the problem. I am literally driving a time bomb not knowing when it will explode. Mbusa is not willing to provide me with a loaner while you are making a decision. This is the most ridicules thing i have ever heard of, that a safety recall is been called but nhtsa is not taking it serious enough. As a tax payer i demand an answer and a replacement very soon. |
