Description of the problem | My car has an open recall for the takata air bag situation. It' been open since february it's now august. As i understand it, the airbag apparatus is subject to corrosion in humid warm climates. I live in brevard county florida, on the coast subject to high humidity and heat. My neighbor has an acura which is also subject to the recall. Since acura thinks more of it's clients they made arrangements for a rental car for them until the fix finally came in, in july. Maybe if vw had to do the same they may expedite my repair so my wife and i aren't risking our lives every time we have to drive our vw. Any help is welcomed. |
