Takata recall. I recieved mailing almost 2 years ago and im tired of witing on my air bags to be replaced on my car. It's scary to look up and see how so may lives are taken behind this mistake that can be fixed. I'm ready for my replacement on the airbags or recall the entire car. My life as well as otjers lives are at stake daily. You have the chance to fix this before another accident and/ or death happens. I pray that it doesn't happen to me. I just want my car fixed.
