| Description of the problem | It's taking too long to get these airbags replaced! News reports continue to report on injuries and how important it is to get fixed and takata is not able to meet the demand while they continue to produce new air bags for new cars? Where is nhtsa priorities here? I have 4 cars that all need replacing and my 3 drivers in the house all feel unsafe! Federal gov should insist all manufacturing efforts on behalf of takata go into replacement airbags and not new car production! One pissed off car owner/tax payor |
