| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I have scheduled an appointment to replace the airbag infiltrator since i received a letter in the mail that the part is available. The dealer has tried several times to contact the manufacturer and the part is on back order. It is a safety concern for me and my wife and has been causing worries and a concern to drive the car on a daily basis with a child one year old going back and fourth to school and day care. With a defect in the airbag that my cause injury or death due to the infiltrator causing the airbag to explode and shoot out metal fragments towards people inside vehicle. We are concerned and always stressed out about this issue but we need this vehicle we cannot just park it and not drive it till the issue is fixed. The dealership will not offer any alternative in the meantime until the part comes in. |
