| Description of the problem | Takata recall- after purchasing my vehicle i found out that the car was in a few previous accidents where the air bags were deployed. On the passenger side, which is the recalled side, i am worried about it exploding as my recall stated. My recall also stated that both passenger and drivers airbags , when deployed, can deploy with shards of metal and glass fragments. I am a short person generally and sit close to the wheel so i can reach everything. I also have many nieces and nephews who ride in my vehicle and i am concerned for the safety . It has been a while now and i have been calling and heard nothing about a solution for it and im wondering if there is anything i can do , aside from getting a new vehicle , that can help keep my family and i safe. As well as, how big of an impact my car can take before that thing explodes on me. |
