Description of the problem | Takata recall. Received letter april 2016 that driver's airbag might kill me in case of a crash. Spoke to lizbeth l. Region case manager, 5/27/16 case #160498364. She sent me letter & follow up phone call. I wanted out of my lease because i can't go on a trip if i get in an accident. Received another call and e-mail 6/6/16. I was informed of a denial in my request. I was offered nothing for my safety such as a new car lease with proper air bag equipment. Acura dealer offered my friend a loaner car because of their recall. I got nothing!!! Safety should be a priority & not wait for a driver to get killed before they do something for the consumer. There should be a class action suit. Thank you |
