| Description of the problem | Takata recall: i am concerned with driving my vehicle with the takata airbags installed. Even though the airbags are on the passenger side, i am afraid the deployment of the airbags would still affect me as the driver. I am writing this complaint because i cannot access a rental car due to my age. I am 21 years old and am unable to access a rental car from my dealership due to my age. My dealership would be willing to rent and pay for a car if i were the proper age of 25. What concerns me about this is that i could be seriously injured as a driver if the airbags still deploy. I personally believe the dealership or rental companies need to make exceptions for those under the age of 25. I don't know what that exceptions would be, but i am afraid to drive others, let alone myself, in a car that is considered unsafe at the moment. I greatly appreciate the fact this safety complaint exists, but i would appreciate it even more if i were provided a car for the mean time so i may keep myself and others safe within my car. I do not speak for just myself, but i speak for those who are under 25 and face the same fears when driving their cars with these airbags. Thank you for your time, and hope to hear something soon. |
