- Amherst, OH, USA
Takata recall, in reference to the occupant restraint controller, I have been given the run around when I call concerning this issue. Am concerned they will self deploy, or not deploy. Have signed up for notifications for replacement parts, and have given the dealership to do the work. To date not a word about my issues or recall notifications, and it's been very upsetting. I worry every time I get behind the wheel, or have a passenger in the car.

- Weeki Wachee, FL, USA
It's been almost 7 months since this recall was announced and it doesn't seem like there's any effort in correcting this issue. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle anymore. I know it's a risk driving a vehicle regardless, but increasing the potential dangers for a reason that isn't my own fault is ridiculous. I wish I could get rid of this thing, but it would be a pretty large loss if I did at this point, so I have to accept it until either they finally fix the issue like they should have months ago, or I get a raise/hit the lottery
