On November 13, 2016, my car was hit real hard on driver's side in front, and the air bags never came out. My daughter was stopped on city streets at the start sign, and as she was checking to move out into the intersection this was traveling down the hill fast trying to make a left turn, he didn't complete, and ran right into my car. The insurance company totalled my car.

Takata recall my vehicle has had a recall since May 2016 and it is Feb 2017. I am told not to drive with any passenger, yet the parts are still not available to replace the defective airbag. Everytime I ask my dealer about it, they say it should be "next month." Please advise how to get this replaced asap. Thank you.
