Takata recall - received recall letter March 2017. I refuse to drive my car with an airbag that could disfigure or kill me. The dealer tells me they have no idea when parts might be available. Now takata filed bankruptcy. I cannot sell my car with faulty airbag. It is useless.

Takata recall - it has been over a year, still no remedy for the air bag issue. Checked with dealer on several occasions as well as the NHTSA website. This is not acceptable! this is a safety issue, and a lot of us drive with children in the car. The vehicle manufacturer installed it, and should be liable to repair the vehicle. Then they can fight to be reimbursed. This is ridiculous already!! they are putting people's lives in danger. I have 2 vehicles, one a 2006 Ford Fusion and one a 2012 Mercedes C300, neither of them are safe to have my children in!!!!

Takata recall we do not know if the bag will malfunction to the detriment of the passenger. For an average consumer, there is no way to test that. As a result, the car cannot be driven with a passenger seat occupied, and since this is a 4 door car, the intent is to have multiple passengers. The manufacturer just provided a recall notice (received by us mail 3/18/2017 after being notified by takata in January 2017. Mercedes should have had a solution ready (loaner vehicles of similar class) for the affected owners. It is not acceptable to be put at risk for the 3-4 years that they knew that the vehicle contained takata airbag, 3 months since formally notified by takata and then still not have a solution.
