Takata airbag recall not repaired by manufacturer or dealer
This recall has been open 11 months with no remedy yet available. I'm afraid to drive with passengers in the front seat due to the faulty air bag that exists in my car. Please make the manufacturer replace the defective air bag so that my car is safe once again.
