I had a vehicle accident on 5/11/17 of which caused a personal head injury laceration due to none of my airbags deploying inside of my vehicle when they should have. It advises that there was a recall on my vehicle for this back in 2014 for the drivers side airbags and there is no information stating that this recall had been done on my vehicle from the dealership or total loss records from my insurance company. I have attached 3 pictures of the damage done to my vehicle, as well as a picture showing no airbags deploying in the vehicle. Any information/documents needed for this please don't hesitate to ask.

Takata recall I was notified about my vehicle's airbag recall sometime in early January. It is now May 23, 2017 and they have yet to contact me about the remedy. It has been over five months and they have not concluded a fix to the airbags on my passenger side of the car. It is truthfully, unbelievable that they have yet to find a solution to this problem. It is extremely dangerous to put someone in my passenger side of my car and will not put their life at risk but five months is more than enough time to figure out a solution. I checked the website and it predicts that the remedy will be available in December of 2017. I think this is inexcusable to allow happen. Granted, I do understand that it is not the drivers side airbag, but being a college student and having to Transport people for my job, it puts them at risk. Thank you for reading my concern.

Takata recall. When will parts be available" it's ridiculous that there is no remedy and that it is recommended that no one sit in front passenger seat. This is our family vehicle, so how realistic is that recommendation"
