Description of the problem | Takata recall: nothing has happened so far, but i was almost in a wreck this morning and i'm scared. What if my airbag deploys and seriously injures me or a loved one? I think a far solution would be to allow consumers to trade in defective vehicles with ones that do not have this airbag at the manufacturer's, i. E., takata's expense. They knew these airbags where defective and it took deaths and serious injuries for them to do the recall. Now, everyday, i'm terrified of being even in a fender bender. Something needs to be done and soon! We have known about this for almost two years now. |
