Description of the problem | Takata recall we were first notified in april 2016 that the takata airbags in our 2007 vw passatt "could potentially rupture... Metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to the vehicle occupants." four months have passed and still there is no remedy available. It is not reasonable that volkswagen does not issue an update as to when the remedy may become available. Consequently, we live in daily fear of a possible death by airbag malfunction. Today's ny times has a front page article detailing the money-based wrong decisions of gm to buy the takata product when experts in the field testify that the ammonium nitrate used in the devices is unstable over time. Deaths and injuries have resulted. When will we know about the availability of the replacement parts? |
