| Description of the problem | Takata recall. Despite being notified over a year ago that my passenger airbag could potentially cause death to any passengers in the case of deployment, i am told that there are no airbag replacements at the local dealer and that there is no estimated time frame for their availability. So i am stuck driving a potential death trap due to the negligence of takata both in design and in remediation of their grave error. Tk holdings sent me a postcard urging that i get the airbag replaced as takata has declared bankruptcy, but there seems to be no actual way to do so. So i continue to be stuck driving an unsafe vehicle due to manufacturer negligence. |
